Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
Freelancers and remote teams in Asia (especially Hong Kong) suffer from high gas fees, complex on-chain operations, and lack of trust in milestone payments.
Proposed Solution: AIMilestone is an AI-powered milestone escrow system on Conflux eSpace. The Eliza-based AI Agent autonomously monitors task progress and proofs, provides release recommendations; the client gives final human confirmation; funds are released as USDT0 with zero gas via native CIP-30 Gas Sponsorship.
Alignment with Conflux Network
- Ecosystem Benefit: Lowers the barrier for Web3 payments, enabling more non-technical freelancers to transact on Conflux.
- Economic Benefit: Drives real on-chain activity — more USDT0 transfers and transaction volume.
- Current Priorities Fit: Perfectly matches AI/Agentic + Stablecoins + Infrastructure.
Competitive Edge
First project combining Eliza AI Agent + CIP-30 zero-gas + USDT0 in a practical escrow use case.
Zero-friction UX that Conflux wants for mass adoption.

Technical Introduction
The system uses Conflux eSpace smart contracts (MilestoneEscrow.sol with CIP-30 integration), Eliza Framework AI Agent for monitoring and recommendation, and USDT0 for stable settlement. It already has full deployment scripts, tests, and a chat-based demo interface.
Technical Proposal
Functional Overview: AI monitors proof → recommends release → approver confirms → zero-gas USDT0 transfer.
Non-Functional: Gas-free UX, high reliability (human-in-the-loop), fast performance on Conflux high TPS, simple chat interface.
Scope: Extend MVP to support multi-milestone projects, Discord/Telegram notifications, and basic reputation system.
Total Budget
Requested Grant: $13,000 USD (paid in CFX or USDT0)
Publish 8 educational posts / tutorials on X, WeChat, and Conflux Forum
Grow Discord community to 200+ members
Run 2 AMA / workshop sessions targeting Hong Kong freelancers
