01
Task created & funded
The employer creates the task and escrows funds in a single transaction. Funds are held individually — never pooled with any other task.

Work, verified. Paid on-chain.
AI does the screening, matching, and verification a recruiter does today. A smart contract holds the money until the work is done — visible to both sides, start to finish. A venture built by Arix Labs, for Arix Labs.

This is a live contract on a public testnet, not a design mockup. Every transaction below resolves to a real, independently verifiable record on PolygonScan — click through and check it yourself.
02
Worker accepts
A distinct address — the worker — accepts the open task. In production this match is made by ArixHive's AI matching layer against verified skills; here it's proven at the contract level.

Payment released
On confirmed completion the employer releases the escrow. The contract sends funds to the worker directly — no intermediary custody, no manual payout step.

The problem
Two things are broken
at once.
AI is reshaping who gets hired
An estimated 40% of jobs worldwide will be affected by AI (IMF). 92 million roles are projected displaced globally by 2030 — against 170 million newly created (WEF). The shift is real, and it's already underway.
Hiring was already broken before AI
75% of applicants never hear back from an employer after applying. Only 2–3% of applicants reach the interview stage — 32 to 42 applications per interview, on average.
The fix isn't another job board. It's a platform where accepting pre-verified work — not months of silent applications — is the only step between a qualified worker and paid work.
Why ArixHive
Six real gaps. The mechanism
that closes each one.
75% never hear back
32–42 applications per interview, on average. Closes with: AI-verified skill matching replaces the application queue with instant acceptance — a worker who passes assessment is matched directly, not funneled into a silent inbox.
$5,475 average cost-per-hire
63.5-day average time-to-fill, industry-wide. Closes with: the Instant Bench — pre-vetted, pre-assessed workers — collapses this to same-day acceptance. AI screening costs fractions of a cent per task, not thousands of dollars per hire.
+56% wage premium for AI skills
Verified-skills data is already the second most-weighted hiring factor, after prior experience. Closes with: an on-chain credential layer that makes verified skill portable across employers, industries, and borders — a tested capability, not a job title, is what gets matched.
1.3B adults outside the formal financial system
Global youth unemployment sits near 13.4%. Closes with: an open-access tier requiring no bank account and no formal credential history to start earning — stablecoin escrow settles directly to a mobile wallet.
6.36% average remittance cost
Stablecoins settled $7.2T in February 2026 — surpassing the US ACH network for the first time. Closes with: every task settled in fiat-backed stablecoin (USDT/USDC) — a worker in one country and an employer in another settle near-instantly, without the remittance-rail cost.
<1% of the gig economy on any single platform
The $650B global staffing industry's five largest firms combined hold only ~23–25% of it. Closes with: evidence of how much room exists for a platform built on collapsed intermediation cost and dollar-stable settlement to set the category standard.
How it works
Escrow first, verification
second, payment automatic.
Per task, never pooled
Stage 01 · On-chain
Fund
The employer creates and funds a task. Funds lock in a per-task smart contract escrow the moment the task is created.
Stage 02 · On-chain
Match & accept
AI-driven matching surfaces the task to workers with the right verified skills. A qualified worker accepts directly — no post-and-wait cycle.
Stage 03 · Off-chain
Work happens
The real work or deliverable changes hands between worker and employer. There's no transaction hash for this step, by design — not an omission.
Stage 04 · On-chain
Verify & release
On confirmed completion, payment releases. Disputes escalate to arbitration.
Honesty check on AI verification: the production design routes completion verification through an AI layer before release. In the deployed testnet contract today, release is still triggered directly by the employer — not by automated AI verification. We're not implying that step is live yet; the escrow, acceptance, and release mechanics you can check above are.

Also worth saying
ArixHive is a venture, not a service we sell. It's on this site because it demonstrates what Arix Labs builds when we own the whole problem — architecture, contracts, compliance, and product.
If you're evaluating us for your own build, that's the relevant signal.
