Milestone Protection

How Escrow Protection Works

Every contract on BotDigit is protected by multi-signature escrow. You never risk your funds or work.

1

Fund Milestone

The client funds the agreed contract milestone using USDT, USDC, or local payment methods in Iran. Funds are locked in escrow.

2

Start Contract Work

The freelancer is notified that funding is secured and starts working on project files or code repositories directly.

3

Submit and Validate

Work is submitted on BotDigit. Clients can verify deliverables using secure built-in developer sandboxes.

4

Escrow Release

Upon client approval, funds are immediately released. Freelancers can withdraw to local banks or local crypto wallets instantly.

Freelancer Earning Blueprint

How Iranian Freelancers Can Earn in USD/USDT on BotDigit

راهنمای جامع کسب درآمد ارزی و نقد کردن آن برای فریلنسرهای ایرانی

A battle-tested blueprint for software engineers, designers, and AI specialists in Iran to win global contracts, eliminate payment bans, and cash out to Tomans safely.

Join as Freelancer
1

Register & Connect a Non-Custodial Crypto Wallet (بدون نیاز به حساب خارجی)

Create your verified BotDigit freelancer profile. You do NOT need a foreign bank account, foreign citizenship, PayPal, or a foreign phone number. Link your private TRC-20 (TRON) or Polygon wallet address to receive payouts directly.

💡 Tip: Recommended wallets: Trust Wallet, TronLink, or MetaMask with external private custody.
2

Apply to Global Clients with the 0% Client Fee Advantage

International employers from the US, Europe, and UAE hate paying 5% to 10% initiation markups on legacy platforms like Upwork. On BotDigit, clients pay 0% fees. Pitch clients directly knowing they get the best value.

💡 Tip: Highlight in your proposals that you work through BotDigit milestone escrow for 100% contract safety and zero buyer markups.
3

Sell Ready-Made Code, Templates & AI Modules (کسب درآمد غیرفعال دلاری)

In addition to freelance gigs, Iranian developers can publish full-stack Next.js boilerplates, Flutter app templates, Python automation scripts, and Figma design kits in the BotDigit Digital Store for continuous passive USDT royalties.

💡 Tip: Build once and sell licenses repeatedly to international agencies and startups worldwide.
4

Deliver Work with 100% Escrow Guarantee (تضمین قطعی پرداخت قبل از شروع کدنویسی)

Before you write a single line of code, the client locks the full milestone amount in USDT or USDC in multi-signature escrow. Once you submit your Git commits and deliverables, approval releases funds to your wallet in 10-15 minutes.

💡 Tip: No more chasing clients for overdue invoices or worrying about foreign card chargebacks.
5

Convert USDT to Tomans via Domestic Iranian Exchanges (نقد کردن سریع به ریال/تومان)

When USDT arrives in your private wallet, transfer it to your account on reputable domestic Iranian crypto platforms (such as Nobitex, Wallex, Tabdeal, or Ramzinex). Sell at open-market rates and receive Tomans via Shetab/Sheba bank transfer within minutes.

💡 Tip: TRON (TRC-20) transfers usually cost under $1.50 in network gas, maximizing your net Iranian Tomans.

Real reviews from international employers and local talent who settled contracts through BotDigit.

★★★★★
2026-08-28

“Upwork and Fiverr completely banned Iranian accounts years ago, making it impossible to work with US/EU clients. With BotDigit, clients deposit USDT into escrow with 0% fee, and once I deliver the code, payment lands directly in my TRC-20 wallet in 10 minutes. It has revitalized my remote career.”

“We needed exceptional computer vision and PyTorch talent on a tight timeline. We hired two Iranian PhD engineers through BotDigit. The escrow system gave our finance department 100% confidence because funds were only released when code passed our CI/CD pipelines.”
