Instant Pledge & User Directory

We introduced new features in June that continue to show the commitment of HYVE as a pioneering and dynamic platform in the freelancing landscape, as these enhancements are designed to simplify processes, improve interaction, and significantly enrich the overall platform experience.

While the Instant Pledge system guarantees that financial transactions are managed with the highest level of security and simplicity, which is crucial for fostering trust and reliability within the HYVE community, the User Directory enhances networking capabilities, facilitating an easier process for users to locate and connect with the appropriate professionals.

  • Instant Pledge - we have expanded our Escrow Account functionality, by introducing the Escrow now functionality. This allows clients and freelancers to create a secure escrow for payment, backed by a smart contract, allowing them to settle payments using our cross-chain infrastructure.
  • User Directory - a comprehensive user database, that allows you to browse and find out more information on clients, companies and freelancers. We have also introduced comprehensive filtering options, allowing you to easily find freelancers, based on education, skills and other differentiators.

Dev Update 1

Our First Dev Update focused on the listing-related improvement of the platform's UI/UX, as we eliminated redundancies and implemented listing related features.

  • Listing Analytics - All listings now benefit from their dedicate analytics, providing valuable insights into how many applicants there are for a job 0r how many clients have purchased the services of an offer. The use case for this varies from tracking performance and identifying trends to making data-driven decisions to optimize their listings and improve engagement. By understanding the dynamics of their listings, users can refine their strategies and enhance their offerings, leading to better outcomes and increased satisfaction.
  • Merger of Tasks and Jobs - We combined the two elements in one single listing type, as we aimed to reduce confusion and create a more streamlined experience for collaboration. This merger simplifies the process of posting and managing work opportunities, ensuring a unified and efficient workflow. By eliminating the distinction between Tasks and Jobs, we aim to make it easier for users to navigate the platform, find relevant opportunities, and engage in productive collaborations, therefore providing a more cohesive and intuitive interface.
  • Listing Type: Public / Private - Users can now differentiate between the type of listing and assign viewing rights to those they want to be able to apply to their listing. By allowing users to tailor the visibility of their listings, we ensure that sensitive information is protected and that opportunities are targeted to the right audience, improving the quality of applications and collaborations.
  • UI/UX Improvements - We implemented several bug fixes and several feature enhancements, as we aim to increase usability and improve user adoption by creating a simple, yet intuitive experience. Our goal is to create a simple, yet intuitive experience that meets the needs of our users. These improvements include refining the interface, enhancing navigation, and ensuring that the platform is responsive and user-friendly.
  • Simplification of existing flows - This is a continuous process which has already started. Most of the workflows from the platform will be streamlined, removing unnecessary steps, creating a much easier process for all platform-related items. By continuously evaluating and optimizing workflows, we strive to create a more efficient and user-friendly process for all platform users.
