Why Gigston
Freelance should not depend on promises.
Gigston is non-custodial web3 escrow: the platform cannot hold, freeze, or move your funds — only the smart contract can.
Escrow on TON
Funds live in a smart contract — never with us.
Gigston never takes custody. Escrow sits on-chain until release or dispute resolution — the backend only relays wallet-signed messages.
For clients
Do not release payment until the work is delivered.
Approve the deliverable first. Escrow releases only when you are ready.
Key Features
Web3 freelance escrow — without a platform vault.
Built so Gigston never takes custody. Your wallet. Your contract. Your settlement.
TON smart contract escrow
Funds lock on-chain before work starts and move only when the deal resolves.
Zero platform custody
No platform balance holds user money. Escrow actions are wallet-signed; the backend only relays those signed messages.
Jobs marketplace
Publish a job, review applications, and hire — escrow opens on accept.
Direct Deal invite
Already agreed offline? Create a private deal and share one invite link.
Dispute resolution
Open a dispute with a wallet signature. Resolution can refund, release, or split escrow 50/50 on-chain.
Native Telegram updates
Funding, status, and dispute steps notify you in Telegram — where the deal already lives.
How it works
From hire to settlement in Telegram.
Four steps. Non-custodial escrow on TON. Gigston never holds your money.
01
Hire — or protect a deal you already have
Publish a job and accept an application, or skip the marketplace with a Direct Deal invite. Either path opens escrow before work starts.
02
Lock payment on TON — never with Gigston
Funds sit in a smart contract. Gigston never takes custody. Escrow actions are signed with your wallet via TON Connect; the backend only relays those signed messages.
03
Track the deal in Telegram
Client and freelancer share deal status, funded amount, and next actions in the Mini App. Day-to-day coordination stays in Telegram chats.
04
Release, refund, or split on-chain
Approve to release. Disagree and open a dispute — resolution can refund, release, or split 50/50. Settlement stays on the contract — never in a platform wallet.
