This is pretty neat but can you help me understand the core difference between this and Braintrust? How are you making this easy/trustworthy for the demand side of the platform to use? My learnings from a few years in the space (for context, I was early at Gigster, then went to Germany to help build a freelance dev platform for the EU market and now am at Tribe.AI where we specialize in AI focused freelance work with a managed marketplace) is that at the high end especially clients and freelancers are willing to have huge premiums for middlemen that alleviate headaches, take risk off their own plates, and can better manage client relationships.

There is a reputation system, so it is possible to see freelancer's history of past jobs and ratings. Also escrow can be used, so you wouldnt need to pay if job wasnt done according to specs. Dispute resolution being smart contract based is more transparent, and it is also great for ppl who prefer using crypto payments
