Honest Reviews & Fair Dispute Handling
No Fake Reviews – Employers must provide genuine, unbiased feedback based on actual work quality.
Fair Dispute Resolutions – If disputes arise, employers must engage in community-driven arbitration and accept final DAO governance decisions.
No Freelancer Blacklisting Without Cause – Employers cannot falsely accuse freelancers or attempt to exploit arbitration systems.
