Insure your Web3 gigs against rugs – pooled protection for freelancers
Web3 freelancers are left unpaid after months of work when crypto projects fail or rug pull.
PayVault creates a community insurance pool where freelancers contribute small fees per project. If a client rugs, approved claims pay out from the pool based on proof of work. Risk scoring predicts safe projects upfront.
