Hiring from emerging markets like Nigeria and SE Asia used to be risky. We fixed it. ZeppoPay uses smart contracts to hold your funds in escrow. Your money is only released when you approve the work. Access top-tier designers and developers at a fraction of the cost — with zero risk of being scammed. If something goes wrong and you win a dispute, you get your money back. Refunds are issued to your original payment method in EUR, minus payment processing and platform fees that have been settled.

Hey PH! 👋

I built Zeppo because I kept seeing the same problem. Talented freelancers in places like Nigeria and the Philippines doing great work but struggling to get paid reliably. Wire transfers fail. PayPal is blocked. Traditional platforms take 20%.

The fix seemed obvious: Escrow + Stablecoins With Zeppo, clients pay by card (EUR) just like normal. The funds sit in a secure smart contract escrow until work is approved. Once it's a go, the freelancer gets paid in USDC instantly. No banks, no 14-day delays, and no hidden exchange fees.

We’re already live with 140+ freelancers and have a built-in 48-hour review window to ensure everyone plays fair.

I’ll be here all day to answer questions about our smart contracts, the 0.3% transaction fee, or how we’re challenging the Upwork monopoly.

What’s the biggest headache you’ve had with international hiring? I’d love to hear your stories! 🚀
