ChronoTrade

ChronoTrade is a decentralized time-based service exchange platform that empowers individuals to trade skills and services using TIME tokens, where 1 TIME = 1 hour. Every user starts with 24 TIME tokens and can offer services (e.g., tutoring, design, development) or request services from others using these tokens.

Built with Solidity and deployed on the Flow blockchain, ChronoTrade ensures transparent and trustless peer-to-peer time trading. The platform features secure service listings, smart contract–driven escrow for TIME tokens, dispute resolution mechanisms, and reputation tracking via user ratings and feedback.

ChronoTrade is a step toward a future where time is a currency, enabling a collaborative, skill-sharing economy without relying on fiat.

Key Features:

• Tokenized time exchange (1 TIME = 1 hour)
• Smart contract–secured service agreements
• User profiles with ratings and reviews
• Dispute resolution via reporting and approvals
• Clean UI with WAGMI-integrated frontend

ChronoTrade reimagines the gig economy with fairness, accessibility, and decentralization at its core.

ChronoTrade is built with smart contracts written in Solidity and a frontend developed using React. The contracts were developed with Hardhat and deployed on Flow’s EVM-compatible network.

The smart contracts handle user registration, service creation and purchase, time slot management, and approval workflows. TIME tokens, which follow the ERC-20 standard, represent one hour of real-world time and are used for trading services.

On the frontend, React is used alongside wagmi and ethers.js to interact with the blockchain. Users can connect their wallets, create services, purchase services, and transfer TIME tokens.

Additionally, Blockscout is used as the blockchain explorer to facilitate clear and accessible on-chain data visualization for users and developers.
