ZapWork is a freelancer platform built on Nostr, Bitcoin, and the Lightning Network, designed to make remote work more transparent and reputation-based. It connects clients with professionals through Nostr’s decentralized web of trust, where authentic interactions and zaps help users build visible reputations. The platform features opportunities across technology, design and creative work, marketing and sales, product management, finance, and operations, alongside profiles for browsing talent.

Clients can sign in securely with a Nostr key, describe a project with help from AI, receive proposals from freelancers, and select a suitable candidate. They can back jobs with sats held in a transparent wallet and release payment instantly when work is complete. ZapWork also offers job posting and discovery tools, professional profiles, and categorized career listings. Its model emphasizes direct Bitcoin payments, censorship resistance, and fewer intermediaries, giving clients and freelancers a way to establish trust and manage work through a decentralized network.
