## Review

**Privacy-first freelance marketplace where every payment settles in XMR.** Operator-published positioning: *"The only freelance marketplace where all payments are made in Monero (XMR). Find work that respects your privacy."* Two-sided platform (Find Work / Hire Talent) with **two signup tracks**: email-based or fully anonymous. **"No KYC, ever"** is the explicit operator promise (per the CR1337 endorsement post 2026-05). Listed at **Grade B** on first pass — the no-KYC-by-design + anonymous-signup posture is the right shape, but the operator surface is sparse (JS-only SPA, no published team / repo / license / Tor onion at submission time) so the upgrade-to-A path is conditioned on operator transparency improvements + a curator-side end-to-end test (post a fake job, complete it, settle a payment).

**What it is.** Web app at `monero.jobs` — a freelance marketplace where clients post jobs, freelancers bid, and **the only payment rail is Monero**. Clients use Email or Anonymous signup. Freelancers pick from posted jobs, deliver work, get paid in XMR. The signup form on the homepage exposes the anonymous mode directly — no "verify your identity" gate at any tier. Categories visible from the nav: Browse Jobs / Find Talent / Learn / Contact / Search.

**Background.** Newer project (homepage live as of 2026-05). Listed on monero.eco (the curated shortlist) which signals at least one editorial check from the Monero ecosystem community. CR1337 publicly endorsed it 2026-05-27 with the framing "no kyc, ever; guaranteed." We have not yet identified the operator — anonymous-operator tier is consistent with the product's framing. If the maintainer publishes themselves we will update this entry.

**What you trust.**

- **Payments settle in XMR, period.** Per the operator's own meta description: *"The only freelance marketplace where all payments are made in Monero."* No fiat ramp baked in, no USDT alternative — the choice forces both sides into the privacy-respecting rail.
- **Anonymous signup is first-class, not buried.** The signup form's two-tab UI (Email / Anonymous) is on the homepage itself, not behind a settings panel. The product's design says: anonymous is normal, not exceptional.
- **Public commitment: "no KYC, ever."** Endorsed publicly by CR1337 with that explicit framing 2026-05-27. The operator's own /privacy page exists (returns the SPA shell + JS-renders, content not yet curator-verified) but the homepage promise is unambiguous.
- **Marketplace, not custodian.** Clients and freelancers settle to each other; Monero.Jobs (as far as we can tell) doesn't hold escrow between legs. (Curator caveat — to be confirmed with a test trade.)
- **No operator-published team / repo / license** at submission time. Anonymous-operator posture; trust accumulates through uptime + community endorsement + cross-listing, not formal disclosure.

**Operational specs.**

- **Site.** React-style SPA — every route serves the same ~3KB HTML shell, content hydrates client-side. JS required.
- **Signup.** Email (with password) OR Anonymous mode. Anonymous mode visible on the homepage.
- **Payment.** XMR only.
- **Categories.** Browse Jobs, Find Talent, Learn, Contact, Search — visible from the top nav.
- **Tor.** No published `.onion` mirror at submission time. Site loads under Tor Browser; absence of a dedicated onion is a transparency caveat.
- **API.** No public API endpoint surfaced at submission time.
- **Light/dark.** UI theme toggle visible in the header — consumer-grade polish.

**Operator philosophy.** Direct from the homepage hero: *"WORK FOR XMR. STAY PRIVATE. XMR is the ultimate weapon if you are seeking a technological solution to secure your wealth, your financial privacy and hence your overall freedom. However, the best way to increase your freedom is to get paid directly in XMR."* That framing is the differentiator — most freelance platforms add crypto as one of N payment options. Monero.Jobs is **XMR-only by design**, which forces both client + freelancer into the privacy stack.

**Grade rationale.** **Grade B** on first pass because: (1) **no operator-published team / repo / license** disclosure; (2) **no Tor onion** advertised — clearnet only; (3) **JS-only SPA** with no SSR fallback or no-JS path; (4) **no curator end-to-end test trade** on file yet (curator needs to post + complete + settle a real test job to verify the no-KYC + XMR-only claims end-to-end); (5) **operator's exact platform-cut on each transaction not disclosed publicly** at submission time. The product's premise (XMR-only freelance marketplace, anonymous signup, no-KYC promise) is the right shape — Grade B floor is held by the operator-transparency gap, not by anything wrong with the design. Upgrade-to-A path: operator publishes team + repo + license + ships a Tor onion + curator runs a clean end-to-end test trade + the platform-fee structure becomes transparent.

**Useful when:**

- You're a **freelancer who wants to be paid in XMR** without depending on a client navigating a fiat-to-crypto offramp.
- You're a **client who wants to hire privacy-respecting talent** without the legal-team paperwork triggered by USD payment rails (KYC the freelancer, withhold taxes, etc.).
- You're explicitly looking for a **"no-KYC, ever" freelance platform** and want operator commitment, not just a checkbox.
- You want to **practice the anonymous-signup option** so the next time you actually need it for a sensitive job, the workflow is already familiar.

**Caveats:**

- **No curator end-to-end test trade yet.** First-pass listing — Grade B default per playbook. We need to post + complete + settle a real test job before upgrading.
- **No Tor onion at submission time.** Clearnet only; the operator + CDN see your IP + activity unless you route via Tor Browser.
- **JS-only.** No-JS users see an empty 3KB shell — every action (browse jobs, signup, post, message) requires JS.
- **No published team / repo / license.** Anonymous-operator tier; trust accumulates through uptime + community endorsement + cross-source verification, not formal disclosure.
- **Platform-cut percentage undisclosed.** Marketplaces always take a cut — Monero.Jobs's exact percentage isn't published on the surfaces we could fetch (operator's /about, /faq, /contact all return the SPA shell). Confirm via a test trade or operator contact before listing high-value work.
- **Dispute resolution mechanism undisclosed.** Standard freelance-marketplace question: when a job goes wrong, who arbitrates? Operator-published dispute policy not yet curator-verified.
- **Listed on monero.eco's curated shortlist** (positive cross-listing signal) but no formal kycnot.me / monerica entry confirmed yet — peer-cross-reference still narrow.
