When a client views your Provide Service ad, they have two options:


  1. Direct Hire: The client agrees with your listed price and hires you directly. They will pay the listed amount into the SMT escrow to initiate the project.


  1. Discuss & Propose: The client may have custom requirements. They will contact you via SMT chat to discuss the project details. Based on this discussion, you can send them a custom offer using the negotiation feature.

Once a price is agreed upon (either listed or custom), the client must fund the escrow to begin the work. This protocol guarantees you will be paid for your time and effort.


  1. [FUNDS_SECURED]: The client deposits the full project payment into the SMT Escrow Wallet 🛡️. You are notified that the project is now funded and it is safe to begin working.


  1. [SERVICE_DELIVERY]: You complete the work as agreed upon. You will then deliver the final product (e.g., designs, documents, code) to the client through the SMT chat and mark the job as [ Service Delivered ].


  1. [CLIENT_APPROVAL]: The client reviews the work. Once they are satisfied, they will click [ Approve & Release Funds ].


  1. [PAYMENT_EXECUTED]: The escrow instantly releases the funds to your wallet. Another successful mission.
