Phase-based payment structure
Create a project, split it into phases, define milestone deliverables, and keep payment actions tied to approved work.
Smart-contract-controlled crypto payments
For crypto payments, DEELO uses smart contracts to control funding and release conditions without DEELO holding user funds.
Marketplace-free client/vendor workflow
Use project payment protection with existing clients and vendors without moving the relationship into a freelance marketplace or payroll platform.
Payment model
Project → Phase → Milestone Deliverable
DEELO is not a bank, payment institution, crypto exchange, payroll provider, or external legal dispute-resolution service. It is project-payment coordination software for phase-based work.
Project
The top-level client/vendor work arrangement.
Phase
A protected project-payment unit inside the project.
Milestone deliverable
The specific output reviewed before payment release.
Built for clear project roles
One payment workflow, clear responsibilities.
Every role sees the projects, phases, milestone deliverables, payment status, and actions relevant to them.
Client
Create projects, fund Project Phases, review Milestone Deliverables, and approve payment release when the work is accepted.
Vendor
Track assigned Project Phases, submit Milestone Deliverables, and follow funding, review, and release progress.
Project Reviewer
Review raised Project Phase or Milestone Deliverable issues against the agreed project conditions and record platform-review outcomes.
Escalated Reviewer
Support higher-level Escalated Review cases and record platform-level recommendations without automatic fund movement.
Wording guardrail
DEELO should be described as project-payment coordination software. Use conservative product wording: DEELO coordinates project-payment workflows, smart-contract-controlled crypto payments, and platform-level review outcomes without overpromising payment, release, or enforcement.
