Welcome to the CanWork end-of-year blog. We discuss all the achievements of 2023 and what to expect in 2024.
Throughout 2023, The CanWork team and community implemented several key enhancements to the platform, driving forward technological capabilities, security, and user experience. Here's a summary of the major updates:
The CanWork Freelance Escrow V3 was introduced, focusing on enhancing security and limiting misuse, thus boosting trustworthiness for clients and freelancers.
A custom tech solution was developed to monitor BNB Chain blocks, detect escrow transactions, and update CanWork automatically.
Significant improvements in site performance and page load times were achieved by optimising database & search index usage and image sizes.
In a major feature development, Quick Escrow for verified freelancers was introduced, streamlining the payment process for clients with a one-page quick interface to our escrow smart contract
Following the Paxos announcement that BUSD will no longer be minted, we transitioned our payment service to USDT (BEP20), with all escrow payments now automatically swapped and settled in USDT.
We actively engaged freelancers for content creation, graphics, and video production, aiming to increase platform visibility and showcase community talent.
Importantly, we have created an extensive collection of content and media for curation in 2024. Keep an eye out.
Our rewards program continued with incentives for referrals and cashback for completed jobs, along with a successful community feedback competition that yielded the Quick Escrow feature idea.
CanWork upgraded to Angular 15, enhancing security, performance, and maintainability, with plans to progress towards Angular 17.
