Escrow-backed Streams
Fund agreements in XLM or USDC. The smart contract holds funds until work is verified and approved.
Verified Work Sessions
The CLI records active coding time and Git change statistics — never keystrokes or source files.
Exact Payments
Payment is calculated as
active seconds × stream rate, capped by the remaining escrow, and enforced on-chain.On-chain Reputation
Every approved session mints a portable attestation that builds your verifiable work history.
GitHub Verification
Final delivery sessions verify branch commits against the connected GitHub repository.
Privacy by Design
The CLI never uploads source files, captures keystrokes, or stores wallet secrets.
