Why We Built TrustLedger

Freelance platforms hold your money and decide your disputes. TrustLedger replaces that custody with audited smart contracts: a client locks funds on-chain, a freelancer submits work, and approval, warranty, ratings, and disputes all resolve through code instead of a platform operator.

TrustLedger began on May 2, 2026 at the Oregon Blockchain Group, University of Oregon. It launched on Ethereum and now reaches Solana and USDC, with commit-reveal arbitration, Chainlink VRF juror selection, and on-chain reputation.

What TrustLedger Does

Custody

Escrow state and payout rules live in smart contracts. The app explains states and actions without taking custody.

Dispute Resolution

Staked jurors use commit-reveal voting so contested work can resolve without a platform operator deciding the result.

Operational Readiness

CI, docs, audit-readiness reports, and admin observability are treated as product features, not afterthoughts.
