Laika Super App

Creator Hub

Creator Hub is Laika’s plug-and-play talent layer, a curated marketplace of builders (design, dev, growth, community, legal/ops) that lets projects hire fast with on-chain briefs, escrowed budgets, milestone payouts, and reputation.

It removes DM chaos and turns “who can help?” into a repeatable, auditable workflow.

What Creator Hub solves#

  • Scouting & trust → vetted rosters, on-chain reputation, clear pricing.
  • Messy ops → standardized briefs, SOWs, milestones, and payout rails.
  • Unpaid work / delays → escrow, delivery checks, and milestone-based releases.
  • No alignment → payments in $LAIKA/$DOGE or token-denominated packages, with optional vesting and EquityOS grants.

Roles#

  • Projects/DAOs: post briefs, fund escrows, review work, release payouts.
  • Providers (studios, freelancers): apply to briefs, deliver milestones, build reputation.
  • Reviewers/Oracles: verify objective acceptance criteria (where applicable).
  • Governors: fund programs (e.g., growth grants) and set default policies.

How it works (end-to-end)#

  1. Post a brief
    • Choose a template: Brand kit, Landing page, Smart contract audit, Community ops, Go-to-market, Content pack, etc.
    • Define scope (deliverables), acceptance criteria, timeline, and budget model (fixed, milestone, retainer).
  2. Escrow the budget
    • Lock funds in $LAIKA / $DOGE / USDC / project token. Optional: split into milestones; add bonus/penalty clauses.
  3. Match & selection
    • Providers see the brief with budget range, required skills, and deadlines.
    • Shortlist, request samples, or run a quick RFP inside the app.
  4. Deliver & verify
    • Provider submits artifacts (files, repos, links).
    • Acceptance checks: objective (hashes, deadlines, checklist), plus optional reviewer sign-off.
  5. Payout & reputation
    • Milestone release or full payout.
    • Both sides leave ratings; completion and dispute rates update the provider’s score.

Everything is visible in dashboards: who delivered, what, when, for how much.

Work types & presets#

  • Design & Brand: logo/identity, UI kits, motion, pitch decks.
  • Frontend/Backend: dApps, integrations, APIs, bots, indexers.
  • Smart Contracts: audits, upgrades, tooling, simulations.
  • Growth & Content: site copy, threads, video, PR/op-ed drafts.
  • Community Ops: mod playbooks, event ops, translations, L1/L2 migrations.
  • Legal/Compliance (lite): policy docs, ToS/privacy drafts (jurisdictional counsel remains project’s responsibility).

Each preset ships with a checklist (scope, acceptance tests, artifacts) and SLA hints (turnaround windows).

Payment models#

  • Fixed price: single release on acceptance.
  • Milestones: multiple releases tied to deliverables (design → dev → QA → launch).
  • Retainer: weekly/monthly streams with service caps.
  • Hybrid: fixed base + performance bonus (e.g., signups, conversion, uptime).

Alignment options

  • Bonus in $LAIKA or project token with vesting.
  • EquityOS grants (ECT/RCT) for core contributors.
  • ShillOS add-on for distribution deliverables (threads, memes, spaces).

Default parameters (governance-tunable)#

  • Escrow grace: 72h to resolve acceptance disputes before arbitration.
  • Delivery windows: milestone due dates enforceable with penalties/credits.
  • Payout currency: $LAIKA/$DOGE/USDC or mix; FX at execution block.
  • Retention & IP: default work-for-hire with IP transfer on final payment; open-source exceptions selectable.
  • Rating weight: recent jobs count more; disputes reduce score temporarily.
  • Provider caps: limit concurrent briefs per provider to avoid overload.

Active defaults appear in-app; changes require governance.

Reputation & discovery#

  • Public profile: skills, past jobs, artifacts, on-chain earnings.
  • Scores: completion rate, dispute rate, on-time delivery, re-hire rate.
  • Badges: Verified, Security-cleared, Gov-preferred, OG Cohort.
  • Search: filter by stack, budget, timeline, language, time zone.

Safety, compliance & plain-language notes#

  • Funds are escrowed and released by objective checks; avoid off-platform deals.
  • Laika provides infrastructure, not legal advice. Projects own jurisdictional compliance.
  • Default IP = work-for-hire; if open-source, ensure license is set in the brief.
  • No keys or credentials should be shared outside agreed secure channels; rotate secrets on delivery.
  • Disputes escalate to an arbitrator set by governance; rulings release funds accordingly.

TL;DR

Creator Hub turns “find someone” into hire, deliver, pay on-chain.

Projects get speed and accountability; providers get reliable payouts and reputation; the ecosystem compounds because execution becomes a repeatable primitive inside the Super App.
