SkillSwap

SkillSwap is a full-stack web platform that enables people to exchange skills instead of money. Whether you're a developer needing a logo or a designer needing a portfolio website, SkillSwap uses AI to intelligently match users based on mutual skill needs and offerings. The application was built entirely using Trae AI IDE, showcasing its ability to generate and orchestrate both frontend UI and backend logic. Users can create profiles, list skills they offer and need, get matched through a smart AI-driven engine, and collaborate via an integrated chat and request system. To encourage long-term use and growth, SkillSwap integrates a freemium model—offering paid features like unlimited swaps, verified badges, and profile boosts. In the future, we plan to add AI-curated micro-courses, tokenized skill rewards (SkillCoin), and B2B collaboration tools for startups and NGOs. SkillSwap helps freelancers, students, and professionals grow together through collaborative, cashless, skill-based networking—powered by AI.
