Contributing to Midcontract offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of transaction safety and efficiency in the service industry. Here's how you can get involved ### Participate in the Customer Discovery Process Engage directly with the development of Midcontract by participating in our Customer Discovery Process. This initiative allows you to provide valuable feedback on your needs, experiences, and challenges within the service industry. Your insights will play a crucial role in refining Midcontract's features, ensuring they address real-world problems and enhance user satisfaction. Read more details here: [Customer Discovery Process](/community-and-affiliate-hub/how-to-contribute/customer-discovery-process). ### Become a Strategic Advisor For those with expertise in fintech, blockchain, or the service industry, joining Midcontract as a Strategic Advisor offers the chance to guide the platform's strategic direction. As a Strategic Advisor, you'll collaborate with the Midcontract team to navigate market dynamics, technological advancements, and regulatory landscapes, contributing to the platform's success and innovation. Find out about our advisor grades here: [Become a Strategic Advisor](/community-and-affiliate-hub/how-to-contribute/become-strategic-advisor). # Customer Discovery Process Midcontract’s core team knows freelance and outsourcing collaboration and payment problems well because we have experienced it firsthand. But when it comes to building the right solution, we can’t do it on our own. The Customer Discovery Process gives us a way to partner with people and companies feeling the pain of the problem we’re solving. Through this partnership, we discover the right thing to build and the right way to build it. ### How exactly does it work? 1. You keep operating business as usual 2. We spend time understanding your specific needs and challenges and implementing reasonable of them into Midcontract UX 3. You'll have early access to our designs and prototypes, providing us with invaluable feedback for iteration 4. If our solution aligns with your needs, we invite you to pilot-test it 5. Satisfaction with the pilot leads to full integration, with you as an esteemed Midcontract user ### What’s in it for you? 1. You influence the development of features that cater specifically to your needs 2. Explore and validate our solutions without any financial commitment for premium feature subscriptions 3. You get our dedicated team's support and expertise ### What’s in it for us? 1. We build a better product by having direct access to our customers and users 2. We validate who our customers are and that they will actually use what we build 3. Having happy customers willing to vouch for us will make getting more customers a lot easier ### What’s the catch? You don’t have to pay to take part in the discovery process. You also don’t have to commit to using Midcontract. And you can stop working with us at any time. The only thing that we ask of you is that you lend us your time, about an hour a week so that we can learn about your business and get your feedback. So the biggest risk to both of us is time. This is because there’s always the risk that things won’t work out. We may discover that we can’t actually build what you need. Or we can’t build it in a timeframe that works for you. ### Let’s Talk.

Midcontract wasn’t born in a brainstorm β€” it came out of real-world frustration. As a software agency, we regularly got burned by clients ghosting payments. One case cost us $60,000 β€” no legal recourse, no protection. Platforms like Upwork didn’t help. High fees, weak dispute systems, and limited control over terms made things worse. So we built what we wish existed: * Escrow-backed contracts * Transparent payment flows * On-chain reputation * Tools that don’t lock you in Midcontract gives control back to freelancers, agencies, and clients β€” the way it should be. # Core Team: People Behind the Platform Meet the builders, advisors, and visionaries driving Midcontract forward. After spending years in top freelance marketplaces, we intimately understand the pain points our product resolves. Midcontract was born from our first-hand experience and the common challenges faced in the freelance market.

# Origin Story ### The Inception of Midcontract The genesis of Midcontract wasn't an overnight epiphany but a response to a recurring challenge we faced in our software development company. Our journey into creating this project began not from a place of innovation for innovation's sake, but from a pressing need to address the relentless issue of non-payment by clients. This problem wasn't sporadic; it was an annual ordeal that significantly impacted our financial stability. Clients would, without justification, abruptly stop fulfilling their payment obligations, leaving us in a lurch. This issue was not a reflection of the quality of our work but rather their decision to default. These experiences were not just setbacks; they were a call to action. The final straw came from a particularly delinquent client who owed us $60,000. This wasn't just a number; it represented a considerable amount of effort, resources, and faith placed in a system that consistently failed to protect us. Our reliance on freelance platforms, notably Upwork, offered little solace. Despite its vast marketplace, Upwork's mechanisms for dispute resolution and financial protection were insufficient, especially when faced with the daunting prospect of pre-court and legal battles. The platform's decision to double the minimum commission from 5% to 10% only added insult to injury, illustrating a growing disconnect between the platform's interests and those of the freelancers and agencies it served. Our story is one of transformation, driven by the frustration of unjust financial losses and the inadequacies of existing freelance marketplaces to provide a fair, secure contracting environment. > Midcontract was conceived from these challenges, with a clear goal: to create a platform that not only addresses the risk of non-payment but does so in a way that is fair, transparent, and equitable for all parties involved. > > We envisioned a system that provides more than just a marketplace for projects; we aimed to build a community where financial integrity and trust are paramount. Midcontract represents our commitment to turning our adversities into a solution that benefits the wider freelance and contracting community. We're not just another platform; we're a response to the unmet needs of freelancers and agencies tired of fighting the same battles we faced. By offering escrow-backed contracts, lower fees, and blockchain-verified professional passports, we're not just addressing the symptoms of the problem; we're redefining the landscape of freelance work. Our story, rooted in real-world challenges and the pursuit of justice, is what drives Midcontract. We invite you to be part of a platform where your work is respected, your rights are protected, and your professional growth is supported. Welcome to Midcontract, where we're not just changing how contracts are managed; we're building a community that values fairness, security, and trust above all. # Use Cases
Seamless contract creation and management for freelancers and agencies Without Midcontract: freelancers and agencies often face complex and time-consuming contract creation processes, especially when dealing with international clients. They must navigate through various legal requirements and ensure that their contracts are compliant with the laws of both parties' countries. Additionally, managing these contracts and ensuring timely payments can be a hassle. **With Midcontract:** freelancers and agencies can easily create, manage, and execute contracts with clients from anywhere in the world. Midcontract's platform offers industry-specific contract templates that are compliant with international laws, simplifying the process. The platform's escrow service ensures that payments are secure and released upon work completion, providing peace of mind to both parties.
Secure and prompt payment processing Without Midcontract: payment delays and non-payments are common issues that freelancers and agencies face, especially when working with new clients or on large projects. These issues not only affect their cash flow but also consume time and resources that could be better spent on other projects. **With Midcontract:** every transaction is backed by an escrow service, ensuring that funds are securely held until the work is satisfactorily completed. This system drastically reduces the risk of non-payment and delays, ensuring that freelancers and agencies receive their payments promptly. The platform supports both fiat and crypto payments, offering flexibility in financial transactions.
On-chain Professional Passports for reputation-building Without Midcontract: freelancers and agencies often struggle to prove their reliability and quality of work to potential clients, especially when they lack a centralized platform to showcase their professional history and feedback. **With Midcontract:** the introduction of on-chain professional passports allows freelancers and agencies to have verifiable proof of their work history, reputation, and experience. This blockchain-based feature provides a transparent and immutable record of their professional achievements, making it easier to build trust with new clients.
Cross-border payments simplified Without Midcontract: cross-border payments can be fraught with issues, including high fees, slow processing times, and compliance challenges. Freelancers and agencies working with international clients often have to navigate through these obstacles, which can be both time-consuming and costly. **With Midcontract:** the platform simplifies cross-border payments by integrating with various payment gateways and supporting multiple currencies, including crypto. This approach not only reduces transaction fees and processing times but also ensures compliance with international payment regulations.
Reduced dependancy on traditional freelance market Without Midcontract: freelancers and agencies heavily rely on traditional freelance marketplaces, which often charge high fees and exert control over client relationships. This dependency can limit their growth potential and profitability. **With Midcontract:** by offering a comprehensive suite of services that includes secure contract management, escrow services, and professional passports, Midcontract reduces the dependency on traditional marketplaces. Freelancers and agencies can directly engage with clients, retain a larger portion of their earnings, and have greater control over their professional relationships.

Here's a detailed look at how Midcontract's Escrow Protection operates and its benefits: 1. **Secure funds holding.** Midcontract holds funds in an escrow account as soon as a client makes a payment. This means the money is securely set aside and cannot be accessed by either party until specific contractual conditions are met. 2. **Milestone-based releases.** Payments are linked to the successful completion of project milestones. Once a milestone is verified as completed and approved by the client, the corresponding funds are released to the service provider, ensuring progress is rewarded promptly. 3. **Enhanced trust.** By acting as a neutral third party, Midcontract's Escrow Protection builds trust between clients and service providers. Both parties have the assurance that funds are safe and will be handled fairly according to the agreed-upon terms. 4. **Dispute resolution.** In the event of a dispute, the escrow system provides a buffer, holding the funds until a resolution is reached.

For clients, it ensures that their investment is not released until they are satisfied with the work received, protecting against subpar or incomplete work. 7. **Flexible payment arrangements.** Midcontract's escrow system supports various payment arrangements, including upfront payments, partial payments upon reaching milestones, and final payment upon project completion, offering flexibility to suit different project scopes and sizes. 8. **Automated payment triggers.** Leveraging smart contract technology, payments can be automatically triggered once the platform verifies that milestones or terms have been met, streamlining the payment process. 9. **Regulatory compliance.** Midcontract ensures that its escrow protection complies with financial regulations, providing a secure and legal framework for holding and transferring funds within the platform. Midcontract's Escrow Protection is a testament to the platform's dedication to creating a secure, trustworthy, and efficient environment for conducting transactions within the service industry.

Is Midcontract a competitor of Upwork, Fiverr, etc.? We position ourselves not as a freelance platform, but as a lightweight alternative to Upwork and Fiverr, offering distinct advantages. Our approach is about convenience rather than solely encouraging users to migrate from these platforms. Upwork, for instance, is outdated in many aspects, including features and fees: * Upwork charges 10% from freelancers and 5% from clients, while our platform offers significantly lower fees and much faster money delivery. In contracts on our platform, payment is received about 5x faster than on Upwork or Fiverr. * Upwork's payment system has limitations. For non-enterprise clients, only bank transfers are available for payments, and freelancers can withdraw money only through PayPal, a bank account, or Payoneer. There's no provision for cryptocurrency payments. In contrast, we offer a broader range of financial interactions and payment options. We focus on enhancing interaction among agencies, including governance, payroll, and common contracts. We also support small groups of freelancers, facilitating financial transactions within these units. Our platform introduces a wider variety of contract types than Upwork and Fiverr, catering to companies that require multiple parties under different contracts for a single project. This approach simplifies budgeting and accounting processes. Another innovation is the introduction of insurance in the IT sector, a relatively new concept with limited current offerings. We aim to surpass existing services in this area, enhancing protection for our users.
Is Midcontract practically Upwork and Fiverr but without the marketplace feature? We have identified two major target groups in the service industry, particularly in the IT sector: * The first group includes companies that are unaware of marketplaces. They work with paper contracts and are accustomed to monthly post-payments. This segment, largely unfamiliar with escrow, advance payments, working with milestones, or fixed-price contracts, represents a huge market. However, it's more challenging due to the need to change their existing paradigms. On the other hand, the client's money is always safe. * The second significant segment comprises all the marketplaces. Our similarity to Upwork and Fiverr is intentional because it's easier to reach this audience. We aim to gain traction that is predictable, controllable, and scalable, and understand our earning potential. We want to test our product and processes, receive community feedback, and build our product based on this input, much like open-source projects. We aspire to offer such opportunities. For example, Upwork hosts several large communities that generate substantial insights for custdev (customer development). We want something similar because it's essential. Our analysis shows that on Upwork, it takes an average of two years from a good idea to implementation. We can do this faster with our scale and understanding of the huge task we're undertaking. Currently, we are a financial multi-app solving one problem at a time.
