Hire skilled Solidity and Solana developers with transparent scopes and clean, tested contracts — and skip the connects, the bidding wars and the buyer fees. Buyers pay the price they see; developers keep more, with 0% on the first $500 and zero payout fees.
Yes — Zinn Hub is a fairer Upwork alternative for smart contract development. You hire verified Zinners — Zinn Hub's smart contract developers — with free proposals (no connects), no buyer fees, 0% commission on the first $500 (then as low as 7%), zero payout fees and 100+ crypto payment options.
Why people look for an Upwork alternative for smart contract development
Hiring a Solidity or Solana developer shouldn't mean paying to bid and racing competitors to the bottom. Here's where the old model gets in the way.
Connects cost to bid
Paying for connects just to send a proposal adds up before you've won any smart contract work.
Bidding wars
Open bidding drives a race to the bottom, not the best Solidity or Solana developer for the job.
Payout charges on top
Withdrawal fees stack on top of the platform's cut, shrinking what developers take home.
Slow, heavy hiring
Long proposal threads and interviews delay getting contract work into development.
Hard to vet real skill
Generic profiles make it tough to tell a battle-tested smart contract dev from a generalist.
Limited payment options
Card-led checkout shuts out crypto-native teams paying from a treasury or wallet.
