Project Name
HyperHire: Decentralized AI-Powered Gig Marketplace
Problem Statement
Centralized freelance platforms like Fiverr impose high fees (up to 20%), control user data, and lack transparent dispute resolution, creating barriers for freelancers and clients, particularly in emerging markets like Pakistan, India and Eastern Europe. These platforms often restrict access due to regional limitations and use opaque algorithms, leaving gig workers and clients underserved. There’s a pressing need for a low-cost, transparent, and globally accessible marketplace that empowers users with control and fairness.
Solution Overview
HyperHire is a decentralized freelance marketplace on Hyperion, leveraging Alith’s AI for job matching and dispute moderation, Hyperion’s parallel execution for real-time transactions, and Metis SDK for cross-chain interoperability with Andromeda. Smart contracts manage service listings, payments, and reputations, ensuring transparency and fees below 5%. Its unique combination of on-chain AI, instant transaction processing, and cross-chain asset bridging disrupts centralized platforms, while a DAO-driven governance model empowers users to shape the platform, fostering an inclusive gig economy.
Project Description
HyperHire transforms freelancing into a decentralized, AI-enhanced dApp on Hyperion. Freelancers create immutable service listings (e.g., graphic design, coding) via smart contracts, while clients browse using an AI-powered search index driven by Alith, which matches jobs based on skills, experience, and preferences. Payments in METIS or stablecoins are held in escrow and released instantly upon job completion, enabled by Hyperion’s parallel execution for sub-second finality. A blockchain-based reputation system ensures transparent, verifiable reviews, with Alith’s AI moderating disputes by analyzing deliverables for fairness. Using Metis SDK, HyperHire supports cross-chain asset transfers (e.g., METIS, USDC) between Hyperion and Andromeda, enhancing liquidity and accessibility for global users. A DAO allows users to vote on platform upgrades, ensuring community ownership.
Built with Hyperion’s MetisVM for AI inference, smart contracts for core functions, and Alith SDK for AI-driven features, HyperHire offers a user-friendly dApp interface that simplifies blockchain interactions. Freelancers gain from lower fees and global reach, clients benefit from transparent pricing, and both enjoy Web2-like speed. I’m passionate about empowering gig workers worldwide, leveraging Hyperion’s real-time and AI capabilities, and building a cross-chain marketplace that aligns with Metis’ vision of decentralized innovation.
Community Engagement Features
To gamify HyperHire and drive onboarding during HyperHack’s stress-testing phase, we’ll implement testable features and a points system:
Testable Features/Tasks:
Create a Service Listing: Post a mock gig (e.g., “Logo Design, $50”) to test smart contract functionality (50 points).
Place a Test Order: Simulate hiring a freelancer, triggering escrow and payment release (75 points).
Rate a Transaction: Submit a review to validate the reputation system’s transparency (25 points).
Test Cross-Chain Payment: Transfer METIS or USDC between Hyperion and Andromeda via the Metis SDK bridge (100 points).
Engage in Dispute Simulation: Participate in a mock dispute, testing Alith’s AI moderation (125 points).
Submit Feedback: Report bugs or suggest UI improvements via Discourse (20 points per report, max 3).
Points System: Points are tracked on a community campaign dashboard, redeemable for testnet METIS, exclusive NFTs (e.g., “HyperHire Pioneer”), or gas subsidies. Top 10 point earners receive a “GigChampion” badge and priority mainnet access.
Gamification: Leaderboards, badges, and a “Corrupted Alith Takeover” narrative challenge (where users “defend” the platform from malicious AI) create a competitive, engaging experience. Tasks stress-test Hyperion’s throughput, AI, and bridging, encouraging repeat participation.
Onboarding: Simple tutorials, Telegram-verified faucet access, and AMAs lower barriers for non-crypto users. Cross-chain testing and community campaigns attract developers, freelancers, and Web3 enthusiasts, driving viral adoption.
