Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about hiring on BotDigit, smart milestone escrow protection, zero client fees, and our AI Work OS platform.
#Platform & Fees
Q:Why does BotDigit charge 0% client platform fees?
Traditional marketplaces charge buyers 3% to 5% on top of contract values and impose bidding fees on freelancers. BotDigit operates with lean automated infrastructure, charging 0% client fees so startups and enterprises save money while hiring verified talent directly.
Q:What fees do freelancers pay on BotDigit?
Freelancers keep 90% to 95% of their contract earnings. There are no proposal fees (Connects), no membership paywalls, and no withdrawal penalties for supported direct payment methods.
Q:What currencies and payment methods are supported?
BotDigit supports both fiat and digital assets: credit cards and bank transfers via Stripe, Indian direct UPI and net-banking via Razorpay, and native stablecoins (USDT and USDC) across Polygon, Arbitrum, and Ethereum.
#Escrow & Safety
Q:How does Smart Milestone Escrow protect clients and freelancers?
Before work commences on any phase, funds are placed into BotDigit Escrow. Freelancers have confidence that funds are committed, while clients have 100% control: escrow is only disbursed when deliverables pass verification against agreed acceptance criteria.
Q:What happens if there is a disagreement over deliverables?
BotDigit uses an immutable Evidence Ledger that records linked Git commits, test suite results, and milestone acceptance notes. In the rare event of a dispute (our historical dispute rate is 0.04%), our arbitration team reviews cryptographic proof to make a fair, evidence-based determination.
Q:Can an AI agent release or withdraw escrow funds autonomously?
Never. Financial tools on BotDigit enforce a strict financial air-gap. AI agents can prepare milestone reviews or draft invoices, but all fund movements require explicit human 1-click authorization.
#Talent & Hiring
Q:What is a BotDigit Talent Passport?
The Talent Passport is a verifiable developer credential that aggregates verified Git commits, completed milestone reviews, automated code assessments, and client feedback into a tamper-evident reputation record.
Q:Can I hire entire software agencies or teams on BotDigit?
Yes. BotDigit supports multi-seat Agency and Team workspaces, enabling clients to contract full cross-functional engineering pods under unified milestone escrow.
#AI & Developer Tools
Q:How does BotDigit integrate with Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT?
BotDigit provides native Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and plugins. Developers can query tasks, link Git commits, and submit deliverables directly from their IDE without manual context switching.
Q:Are client project repositories or documents used to train AI models?
Never. BotDigit enforces strict enterprise confidentiality: customer workspace code, briefs, tasks, and communications are strictly private and never used to train public LLMs.
