Players already make deals with each other, for example a ride to Paleto, twenty steel for a builder or a lawyer for Thursday's hearing. Most of those deals run on trust, and when one side doesn't pay, staff get a ticket with no record of what was agreed.
Contracts puts those deals on a board. The poster sets a reward and it leaves their bank straight away, held with the contract. Another player takes the job, does it and hands it in, then the poster confirms and the worker gets paid. If the poster goes quiet, the contract completes on its own after a day. If something goes wrong, either side opens a dispute and the money stays held until staff pay the worker, refund the poster or split it.
Every listing shows the poster's record (completed contracts, average rating and how often their contracts end in a dispute). Workers build their own record the same way.
The money is the part we were careful with. Every change to a contract is a single guarded database update and every payout is claimed before it's paid, so double clicks, two players racing for the same job or two servers on one database can't pay anything twice. Also, money owed to someone offline waits for them and is paid when they log in.
