Decentralized Freelance Marketplace

The Decentralized Freelance Marketplace is a smart contract-based platform built on the SUI blockchain, empowering clients and freelancers to engage in trustless transactions. The platform utilizes Move language for smart contract development, offering functionalities for creating freelance gigs, handling payments, dispute resolution, and various other features.

Features

1. Creating Freelance Gigs

Clients can easily create freelance gigs by providing a description of the job and setting the price. Each gig is represented as a smart contract on the SUI blockchain.

create_gig(description: vector<u8>, price: u64, ctx: &mut TxContext)

Bidding and Work Submission

bid_on_gig(gig_id: UID, ctx: &mut TxContext)
submit_work(gig_id: UID, ctx: &mut TxContext)

Dispute Resolution

dispute_gig(gig_id: UID, ctx: &mut TxContext)
resolve_dispute(gig_id: UID, resolved: bool, ctx: &mut TxContext)

Payment Release and Cancellation

release_payment(gig_id: UID, ctx: &mut TxContext)
cancel_gig(gig_id: UID, ctx: &mut TxContext)

Additional Functionality

The platform includes additional functions such as updating gig descriptions and prices, withdrawing earnings for freelancers, adding funds to gigs, requesting refunds, updating gig deadlines, marking gigs as complete, and extending dispute periods.

Installation and Deployment

Before we proceed, we should install a couple of things. Also, if you are using a Windows machine, it's recommended to use WSL2.

On Ubuntu/Debian/WSL2(Ubuntu):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl git-all cmake gcc libssl-dev pkg-config libclang-dev libpq-dev build-essential -y

On MacOs:

brew install curl cmake git libpq

If you don't have brew installed, run this:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Next, we need rust and cargo:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Install Sui

If you are using Github codespaces, it's recommended to use pre-built binaries rather than building them from source.

To download pre-built binaries, you should run download-sui-binaries.sh in the terminal. This scripts takes three parameters (in this particular order) - version, environment and os:

• sui version, for example 1.15.0. You can lookup a more up-to-date version available here SUI Github releases.
• environment - that's the environment that you are targeting, in our case it's devnet. Other available options are: testnet and mainnet.
• os - name of the os. If you are using Github codespaces, put ubuntu-x86_64. Other available options are: macos-arm64, macos-x86_64, ubuntu-x86_64, windows-x86_64 (not for WSL).

To donwload SUI binaries for codespace, run this command:

./download-sui-binaries.sh "v1.18.0" "devnet" "ubuntu-x86_64"

and restart your terminal window.

If you prefer to build the binaries from source, run this command in your terminal:

cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git --branch devnet sui

Install dev tools (not required, might take a while when installin in codespaces)

cargo install --git https://github.com/move-language/move move-analyzer --branch sui-move --features "address32"

Run a local network

To run a local network with a pre-built binary (recommended way), run this command:

RUST_LOG="off,sui_node=info" sui-test-validator

Optionally, you can run it from sources.

git clone --branch devnet https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git

cd sui

RUST_LOG="off,sui_node=info" cargo run --bin sui-test-validator

Install SUI Wallet (optionally)

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sui-wallet/opcgpfmipidbgpenhmajoajpbobppdil?hl=en-GB

Configure connectivity to a local node

Once the local node is running (using sui-test-validator), you should the url of a local node - http://127.0.0.1:9000 (or similar). Also, another url in the output is the url of a local faucet - http://127.0.0.1:9123.

Next, we need to configure a local node. To initiate the configuration process, run this command in the terminal:

sui client active-address

The prompt should tell you that there is no configuration found:

Config file ["/home/codespace/.sui/sui_config/client.yaml"] doesn't exist, do you want to connect to a Sui Full node server [y/N]?

Type y and in the following prompts provide a full node url http://127.0.0.1:9000 and a name for the config, for example, localnet.

On the last prompt you will be asked which key scheme to use, just pick the first one (0 for ed25519).

After this, you should see the ouput with the wallet address and a mnemonic phrase to recover this wallet. You can save so later you can import this wallet into SUI Wallet.

Additionally, you can create more addresses and to do so, follow the next section - Create addresses.

Create addresses

For this tutorial we need two separate addresses. To create an address run this command in the terminal:

sui client new-address ed25519

where:

• ed25519 is the key scheme (other available options are: ed25519, secp256k1, secp256r1)

And the output should be similar to this:

╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Created new keypair and saved it to keystore.                                                   │
├────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ address        │ 0x05db1e318f1e4bc19eb3f2fa407b3ebe1e7c3cd8147665aacf2595201f731519             │
│ keyScheme      │ ed25519                                                                        │
│ recoveryPhrase │ lava perfect chef million beef mean drama guide achieve garden umbrella second │
╰────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

Use recoveryPhrase words to import the address to the wallet app.

Get localnet SUI tokens

curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:9123/gas' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "FixedAmountRequest": {
        "recipient": "<ADDRESS>"
    }
}'

<ADDRESS> - replace this by the output of this command that returns the active address:

sui client active-address

You can switch to another address by running this command:

sui client switch --address <ADDRESS>

abd run the HTTP request to mint some SUI tokens to this account as well.

Also, you can top up the balance via the wallet app. To do that, you need to import an account to the wallet.

Build and publish a smart contract

Build package

To build tha package, you should run this command:

sui move build

If the package is built successfully, the next step is to publish the package:

Publish package

sui client publish --gas-budget 100000000 --json

Here we do not specify the path to the package dir so it will use the current dir - .

After the contract is published we need to extract some object ids from the output. Here is the list of env variable that we source in the current shell and their values:

• PACKAGE_ID - the id of the published package. The json path to it is .objectChanges[].packageId
• ORIGINAL_UPGRADE_CAP_ID - the upgrade cap id that we might need if we find ourselves in the situation when we need to upgrade the contract. Path: .objectChanges[].objectId where .objectChanges[].objectType is 0x2::package::UpgradeCap
• SUI_FEE_COIN_ID the id of the SUI coin that we are going to use to pay the fee for the pool creation. Take any from the output of this command: sui client gas --json
• ACCOUNT_ID1 - currently active address, assign the output of this command: sui client active-address. Repeat the same for the secondary account and assign the output to ACCOUNT_ID1
• CLOCK_OBJECT_ID - the id of the Clock object, default to 0x6
• BASE_COIN_TYPE - the type of the SUI coin, default to 0x2::sui::SUI
• QUOTE_COIN_TYPE - the type of the quote coin that we deployed for the sake of this tutorial. The coin is WBTC in the wbtc module in the $PACKAGE_ID package. So the value will look like this: <PACKAGE_ID>::wbtc::WBTC
• WBTC_TREASURY_CAP_ID it's the treasury cap id that is needed for token mint operations. In the publish output you should look for the object with objectType 0x2::coin::TreasuryCap<$PACKAGE_ID::wbtc::WBTC> (replace $PACKAGE_ID with the actual package id) and this object also has objectId - that's the value that we are looking for.
