FAQ

VibeMarket is a platform for clients and independent developers. It helps users publish a task, choose a contractor, communicate, and use technical escrow. The client and contractor enter into the work agreement directly with each other.

A client posts a task, compares bids, and selects a contractor. Once terms are agreed, both parties connect wallets, the client funds escrow, the contractor delivers the result, and the client either accepts it or opens a dispute.

Funds are sent directly to a smart contract on the TON network and remain locked until an outcome defined for the deal. On release, the contractor receives the amount less the Platform fee; on refund, funds go to the client. VibeMarket never asks for a seed phrase or private key.

The client and contractor agree the scope, timeline, price, rights to the result, and acceptance process themselves. VibeMarket does not perform the work or guarantee its quality, but keeps the deal context and may help apply an available dispute-resolution scenario.

Open a dispute in the deal and provide clear evidence: the brief, messages, result links, files, and comments. Only materials from that deal are reviewed. The outcome can be release to the contractor, refund to the client, or another scenario available in the smart contract.

After the client accepts the result or after the dispute is resolved under the deal rules. If a result was delivered but the client does not respond, the timeframe shown in the deal applies; do not rely on off-platform verbal arrangements.

A direct deal has a 0% VibeMarket fee. For a protected deal through TON escrow, VibeMarket deducts 5% from the contractor’s successful payout unless a different amount is shown before confirmation. TON network fees are separate and depend on the network and wallet.

Review the stack, portfolio, reviews, timeline, and the actual bid. A strong bid explains the work plan, concrete outcome, limitations, and questions about the task. Record every important term in the order and chat before funding escrow.

To operate an account and a deal, the Platform uses profile data, orders, messages, files, technical logs, and Telegram if it is connected. Public profiles and blockchain data may be visible to other users. See the Privacy Policy for details.

For a specific deal, use its chat and dispute flow so the brief, messages, and evidence stay together. Service notifications are available in the Platform, by email, and through Telegram when connected. For general questions: support@vibemarket.pro.

Vibe coding is an approach to development where the developer uses AI tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Bolt, Windsurf) as their primary working instrument. The actual delivery time depends on the task and is calculated only from completed orders.

A vibe coder works primarily with AI assistants and specializes in rapid product delivery. The delivery time depends on the task, requirements, and agreed terms of the specific order.

VibeMarket uses escrow on the TON blockchain: the client transfers funds to a smart contract rather than directly to a freelancer. Funds remain locked until an outcome allowed by the deal: release, refund, or dispute resolution.

Escrow is a mechanism where payment is locked by a neutral party until the conditions of the transaction are met. On VibeMarket, the neutral party is a smart contract on the TON blockchain, not the platform itself. Available releases and refunds are executed only through scenarios defined by the smart contract and the deal rules.

The cost depends on the complexity of the task and is determined when posting the order. A direct deal has a 0% VibeMarket fee; a protected deal through TON escrow has a 5% fee deducted from the contractor’s successful payout. TON network fees are separate. There are no paid bids or subscriptions.
