Jobs

A job is paid work your project posts outside its campaigns: one person, a fixed reward, and a review by your team. Jobs are under Jobs in Studio's project menu. Earners find public jobs on the app's Jobs board (see Jobs from their side).

	Task	Opportunity
What it is	one delivery, paid once	the same work every period, for one person
Pay	the reward, once	the reward every week, two weeks, month or N days
Schedule	a fixed deadline, or a number of days after you hire	a start (when you hire, or a date) and a number of periods (empty: open-ended)

Fees

Dyma charges a fee per task or per period, never per round of changes: 5% by default, or the rate your project negotiated with Dyma. You pay it on top of the reward, so the worker receives the reward you advertise. The editor shows the fee and what you pay before you publish.

Post a job

1. Jobs → New job, then choose a task or an opportunity.
2. Fill in:
   • the title and a one- or two-sentence summary, shown on the board card;
   • the description: the brief, in Markdown, with a live preview;
   • up to 8 skills, which earners filter the board by;
   • what the worker must deliver: a written report, links, code links (commits, pull requests, repositories), files, images;
   • the reward and its asset: ADA, USDM or USDCx;
   • the funding (below);
   • the schedule;
   • public (listed on the board, earners apply) or private (you invite one person by username or Cardano address);
   • optionally a minimum reputation tier, a cap on rounds of changes, and a date when applications close.
3. Save draft: nobody sees a draft until you publish it.
4. Publish: public jobs go on the board, and private ones send their invitation.

Once published, the text can still change; the reward, asset and funding are fixed.

Funding: escrow or direct

	Escrow on Cardano	Pay directly
When you publish	your wallet locks the reward and Dyma's fee in the job escrow (Fund and publish), plus a refundable ADA deposit Cardano requires	the job opens at once
The board shows	Funded on Cardano, once the funding confirms	no escrow badge
Dyma's fee	taken from the escrow at each payment	paid in advance: when you hire for a task, before each period for an opportunity
Paying the worker	the worker claims each approved task or period from the escrow; Dyma pays the network fee	you send the pay and record the transaction, which Dyma checks on chain

For an opportunity in escrow, choose how many periods to lock now (at least one) and top up later. When the escrow is short of the next period, that period waits ("awaiting funds") and the worker is told not to start. With direct funding the same happens until you pay the period's fee. Fees you prepaid for work that ends unapproved become a fee credit, used first for your next fee.

Hire

Applicants lists the applications to a public job: each pitch with its links and files, and the applicant's reputation tier, Dyma Points, completed jobs and verified accounts. You can:

• Shortlist an applicant, or Decline one, with a reason the applicant reads if you give one.
• Hire one person. A worker needs a Cardano payout wallet first; the applicant's card says when one is missing.
  • Escrow: Hire and sign. Your wallet signs the assignment and Dyma pays its network fee.
  • Direct: Hire and pay the fee, unless your fee credit covers it.

The job then shows Assigned on the board, never who took it, and the other applicants are told. For a private job, the invitee accepts or declines; if they decline, invite someone else.

Review the work

Work shows each task or period with its deliveries, round by round. For each delivery:

• Approve: the task or period is done. The worker earns its pay, Dyma Points and reputation.
• Request changes: list what to fix, one point each, with details if useful. The worker resubmits and earlier rounds stay visible. If you set a cap on rounds and it is reached, you approve or reject.
• Reject: give the reasons; the work stays unpaid. The worker can contest a rejection (below).

Review within the review deadline (7 days by default): after it, the worker may report a review that never came.

For a direct job, approved work shows To pay. Send the worker's pay to their payout address, then record the transaction hash; Dyma checks on chain that it pays what is owed. Pay within the payment deadline (7 days by default).

The escrow

Overview shows the escrow, read from the chain:

Line	Meaning
In the pool	rewards and fees locked
Claimable	approved work the worker has not claimed yet
Reserved	work in progress, submitted or approved
Withdrawable	what no work needs: you can take it back with Withdraw funds
Deposit	the refundable ADA deposit, returned at the end
Expires	after this date you can Reclaim everything without Dyma

Top up the escrow adds periods or an amount and pushes the expiry later. The expiry is the last deadline the escrow funds plus a claim margin (60 days by default). Until then, Dyma cannot send the funds anywhere but to the worker you hired, and only with the worker's signature. You cannot take back approved pay before the expiry. If Dyma ever disappeared, the expiry would still let you reclaim everything.

End, withdraw or reopen

• Withdraw the job before anyone is hired: it leaves the board. An escrow job's funds come back with Withdraw funds on the Overview.
• End the job while someone works on it, with a reason the worker reads.
  • An opportunity can end now or after the current period.
  • Approved work keeps its pay.
• Reopen to hire again: an opportunity that ended can hire someone new.

Disputes

A worker can contest within the dispute window (7 days by default):

• a rejection;
• a job you ended while their delivery waited for review;
• a review that never came;
• a direct payment that did not come.

Dyma decides in its console, with a note both sides read:

• Release all or part of the reward to the worker. In escrow they claim it; in direct you owe it.
• Return it to your project. In escrow its funds become withdrawable; in direct its prepaid fee becomes a credit.

While a dispute is open, the funds it covers cannot be withdrawn.
