Summary of the Flow with an Example
Imagine Alice is a freelance graphic designer and Bob wants a logo designed:
Listing: Alice lists a “Logo Design Service” for 50 USDC. The platform mints a service token (NFT) for this listing.
Purchase: Bob discovers Alice’s service and buys it. Bob’s 50 USDC goes into escrow on Solana, and the NFT is marked as sold (held by escrow).
Work Delivery: Alice gets notified, designs the logo, and sends the final files to Bob via CRE8 chat or file upload, then marks the job as delivered on-chain (perhaps calling a
deliver()method of the contract).Confirmation: Bob likes the work and clicks “Complete.” The smart contract then releases the 50 USDC (minus fee) to Alice’s wallet automatically. The NFT is burned, since that service instance is completed.
Review: Bob leaves a 5-star review. Alice’s on-chain reputation score improves, attracting more business in the future.
Everyone is happy: Bob got his logo without worrying about losing money upfront, and Alice got paid instantly upon completing the job – no withdrawal delays or high fees, and her reputation is strengthened on an immutable ledger.
This seamless flow shows the power of CRE8’s model: combining the security of escrow, the speed of blockchain payments, and the trust of transparent reputation. The next sections will dive into the features that make this user experience possible and the tokenomics that drive the ecosystem.
