The Opportunity

Problem

Web3 freelancers experience burnout from the constant hustle required to chase payments from DAOs and NFT projects that ghost them after milestone delivery.

Solution

Track milestones and automate escalating reminders via email, Discord, and Twitter to DAOs/NFT teams. Public proof timelines pressure payers without manual hustle. Freelancers focus on work while payments flow in predictably.

Target Audience

Web3 freelancers contracting with DAOs and NFT projects

Differentiator

AI-powered reminder sequences customized for Web3 ghosting patterns, with social escalation.
