        abstract = {The rapid evolution of the freelance economy 
has created a demand for platforms that provide secure, 
efficient, 
and transparent work environments. 
Traditional freelance marketplaces often rely on 
centralized control, introducing issues such as high 
transaction fees, data insecurity, and limited trust. This 
paper proposes a blockchain-based decentralized 
freelance platform using Ethereum, which leverages 
smart contracts, immutable ledgers, and transparent 
operations to resolve these limitations. The proposed 
system supports job posting, bidding, automated 
payments, and dispute resolution through smart 
contracts. By removing intermediaries and introducing 
tamper-proof reputation systems, this decentralized 
architecture ensures cost-efficiency, security, and 
fairness for both clients and freelancers. The paper 
presents an overview of system design, methodology, 
implementation, and performance evaluation.},
