The endgame for onchain work isn’t more tooling. It’s fewer decisions. I pushed a small bounty through an escrow on @base and it felt like the right abstraction: deposit $USDC, attach an EAS attestation to the deliverable, set a 24h timelock, and let release or dispute paths run without back‑and‑forth. Claimant had gas sponsored, I approved with a scoped session key, and the entire trail was legible. No invoices, no spreadsheets, just a clean balance moving when rules were met
Why this clicked on Base: fees are low enough that $10 $50 tasks make sense, EVM familiarity means simple contracts not custom machinery, and social‑native distribution turns a thread into a queue of valid claims. Settlement is predictable, receipts are public, and disputes have a schema instead of drama
Builders: ship a minimal escrow template, define attestation types for deliverables and acceptance, cap session keys, and add a small stake for disputes so noise is costly. Measure completion, not chatter.
