The problem Decentr - Revolutionizing Freelancing solves

Our decentralized freelancing platform tackles a fundamental issue in the gig economy: trust. Often, freelancers worry about whether clients will pay, and clients worry if freelancers will deliver quality work on time. These uncertainties can make it difficult to establish reliable, long-term working relationships and this project solves it and improves safety

Trust and Security: By leveraging blockchain technology, our platform ensures that all agreements are transparent and immutable.
Credibility Enhancement: We integrate freelancer ratings and track deadlines to build a credible reputation system. Higher-rated freelancers and those who meet deadlines consistently pay lower gas fees, incentivizing quality and reliability (integrated in the contract code) .Our platform is built on the Stellar blockchain using Rust smart contracts, optimizing gas fees based on factors like freelancer ratings and remaining time for deadlines.

Use Cases and safety enhancement

Freelancers: Can find reliable clients, secure in the knowledge that they will be paid promptly for work completed as per the contract terms and also empowers them to be good for less gas fee.
Clients: Can hire freelancers with confidence, knowing that their payment is protected and only released when work meets the agreed standards and make it safer for them.

Challenges we ran into

Making smart contracts executable -
while we used rust we knew if it compiles its correct and integrating all the complex functionalities of contracts/skills/freelances and deadline integrations and ratings to optimise the gas fee making it fair and secure of all people to use .
Integration of the code all together
The stellar SDKs were new and needed much time to be understood well so as to integrate thinsg seamlessly.
