# Fundwork: The Marketplace for Paid Work on Base

> Fundwork connects clients and talent through contracts, bounties, and campaigns — all paid in USDC on Base.

Fundwork is a Base-native marketplace where clients post paid work and talent gets compensated in USDC. Whether you're hiring for a focused contract, running an open bounty, or launching a campaign, Fundwork gives you a clean, on-chain record of what was done, by whom, and what was paid.
