Overview

The Gig Marketplace is a decentralized platform where users can post gigs. Each gig includes:

• A unique ID
• Description of the work to be done
• Stake amount (in lamports)
• Deadline for completion
• Status tracking (Open, InProgress, Completed, Failed)

Program Structure

The program is built using Anchor 0.31.1 and includes the following components:

• Gig account: Stores all gig data on-chain
• PostGig instruction: Creates a new gig with all required parameters
• Program Derived Addresses (PDAs) for gig accounts, created using the gig ID as a seed

Smart Contract

The main smart contract logic is in lib.rs and includes:

• Account structures and data validation
• Instruction handler for posting gigs
• PDA generation for account creation

Testing

The program includes comprehensive tests that verify:

1. Creating gigs with valid data
2. Preventing duplicate gig IDs
3. Multiple users creating gigs
4. Querying gigs by owner
5. Retrieving all gigs in the program

To run the tests:
