The Problem

One bad hire can drain your treasury — or your users' funds.

  • Generic platforms let anyone claim "Solidity expert" with no proof
  • Discord referrals are anonymous — accountability is zero
  • Protocol exploits have cost $4B+ in 2023 alone from sloppy code
  • DAO contributors vanish mid-project with no recourse
The Proofed Way

Every provider passes a dual-layer verification before going live.

  • On-chain credential verification — wallet history, deployed contracts, audit reports
  • Off-chain skill tests reviewed by domain experts, not bots
  • KYB/KYC identity layer with jurisdictional accountability
  • Escrow-protected payments, milestone-based release

Dual-layer verification — on-chain and off-chain

We pull every provider's wallet history, verify deployed contracts, cross-reference audit reports, then run domain-specific skill tests reviewed by practitioners — not automated scoring engines. The Proofed badge means something real.

Escrow-protected payments, milestone by milestone

Funds are locked in smart-contract escrow and released only when you approve each deliverable. Disputes trigger a structured arbitration process with domain-expert arbiters — not a generic support ticket.

Why Proofed

Not another Web3 job board

We built Proofed because the tools DAOs and protocols use today were designed for gig economy work — not critical blockchain infrastructure.

Feature Generic Platforms Proofed
Identity verification Optional / self-reported Mandatory KYB + on-chain
Skill validation Portfolio screenshots Expert-reviewed tests
Web3 specialization Broad / generic 100% Web3-native
Smart contract audit screening None Required for audit roles
Payment protection Basic escrow Smart-contract escrow + arbitration
Dispute resolution Support ticket Domain-expert arbiters
After a $600K exploit from an unvetted contractor referral, we swore we would never hire anyone again without Proofed-level verification. We found our lead auditor through Proofed in 48 hours.
