Portable seller reputation
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
Freelancers on a niche skills marketplace lose their ratings when they move between platforms, and new sellers struggle to prove their track record.
// What we would build
Completed jobs and ratings issued to sellers as verifiable records on a public chain, which they can show anywhere and which no platform can quietly delete. Buyers check a seller's record without a wallet. If your sellers only ever work on your marketplace, a database is simpler, and we will say so.
