How Do I Get Started?

Four steps to better work.

Create Your Profile

Sign up as a Maker (freelancer) or Initiator (business). Your profile becomes your digital identity — verified on-chain and owned by you.

Connect & Collaborate

Makers find opportunities and Initiators hire through open projects. Everything happens directly — no middlemen, no platform interference.

Secure Payment in Escrow

Funds move into escrow before work begins. Once milestones are approved, payment is released automatically. Both sides protected, start to finish.

Build Your Reputation

Every completed project strengthens your verified on-chain record. Makers earn proof of skill. Initiators earn proof of trust. Your reputation stays with you — forever.

The Lyriem Difference

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Keep or spend 100% of your money. No commissions, no hidden deductions — ever.

Escrow-Secured Payments

Funds are locked until work is delivered and approved. Both sides protected, always.

Verified Reputation

Freedom to Work Your Way

No locked messages. No forced payment methods. Work how and where you want — Lyriem just keeps it fair.

Why Lyriem Is Free

We don't believe in taking a cut of your work.

Lyriem runs on anonymized, aggregated insights about the freelance economy — not commissions or hidden markups. That means no platform fees, ever. Your money funds your work, not ours.

How We Protect Your Privacy

All data is anonymized and aggregated — individual information is never exposed. We comply with global data protection standards and use robust encryption to safeguard every transaction. Your data is private. Your work is protected. Your reputation is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lyriem really free for both sides?

Yes. Lyriem charges zero platform fees to Makers or Initiators. The only optional costs are third-party processing fees for certain payment methods, which we negotiate to keep as low as possible.

How do escrow payments protect both sides?

Clients pre-fund the project before work begins. Funds are held securely until the work is delivered and approved. Freelancers know the money is guaranteed. Clients know they'll receive what they paid for. No ghosting, no unpaid invoices.

What is on-chain reputation?

Every project you complete builds a verified record of your work history on the blockchain — permanent, portable, and yours to keep even if you leave the platform. It's your reputation, not ours.

Do I need crypto or digital wallets?

No. Lyriem runs on blockchain technology in the background, but you don't need any tokens, coins, or digital wallets. If you can use Upwork or Fiverr, you can use Lyriem. Just without the fees.

Why is Lyriem free to use?

Lyriem doesn't charge users. Instead, anonymized, aggregated data about freelance trends helps power broader industry insights. That's how the platform stays free while keeping your personal and project information completely private.

Is my data private?

Always. Lyriem never sells personal or client data. Only anonymized, aggregated patterns are collected — things like average pay rates for developers in Austin. No individual names, projects, or financials are ever shared.
