How Bitlance works for freelancers

Use this page as your dashboard guide: find Bitcoin jobs, submit proposals, manage escrow-backed contracts, deliver milestones, message clients, and track sats from one place.

Find Bitcoin Jobs
1

Find the right job

Start in Job Feed. Search, filter, and save anything worth reviewing before you apply.

2

Send a clear proposal

Apply from the job page. Your proposal then appears in Proposals as pending, accepted, or rejected.

3

Work after escrow is funded

Accepted work moves into contracts and messages. Begin the current milestone once the contract shows funded escrow.

4

Submit and get paid

Submit the milestone with a note, link, or file. When the client approves, sats move from escrow into released earnings.

Common Questions

Go to Job Feed, open a job card with Apply Now, then submit your proposal from the job detail page.

Check Proposals for status changes. Accepted proposals can also create a conversation in Messages and a contract in Contracts.

Start work when the contract or chat shows escrow funded for the current milestone. If escrow is not funded, ask the client to fund it first.

Open the contract, add a delivery note, optional link, or attachment, then use Submit Work for the current milestone.

The contract will show an adjustment request with the client note. Make the updates and resubmit the adjusted work from Contracts.
