We have all heard of freelancer, elance, odesk and many more but another revolution of freelancing platforms is about to takeover the whole freelancing arena by storm. J I wonder if this would be called blocklancing.
Blocklance is a freelancing platform with the intent of revolutionizing the process of freelancing and improve the cooperation between the freelancer and the Client. Blocklancer is a Distributed Autonomous Job Marketplace (DAJ) operating on the Ethereum Blockchain. Is is a collective vision of an entirely self-regulatory (decentralized) platform for finding clients/projects and ensuring jobs are completed efficiently and fairly. Blocklancer is concentrating on building a trustworthy platform that the freelancer and the customer will rely on. This is done by minimizing fees and the introduction of a decentralized tribunal system that guarantees the dealing of dispute cases in a fairly manner with no one losing out.
Above is a sneak preview of the current running demo and visiting the demo, one cannot help but wait for the actual system that will be a game changer in the freelancing industry platform with this introduction of a crypto based platform. Good news to all the freelancers out there. No more tussles about FIAT payments. One can be paid in crypto, hold it as it appreciates value or trade it for FIAT and enjoy the fruit of the sweat.
The dashboard was a well thought out design and the user interface is very sleek and easy to master for newbies and the incompetent. The platform will be open to everyone but the premium features will only be accessible to the token holders of the LNC token, which is also a tradable token. A holder of the Lancer Token benefits from the Blocklancer platform in two ways;
More features and benefits of the premium account can be found on https://blocklancer.net/ or in the Blocklancer’s whitepaper https://blocklancer.net/static/main/docs/lancer_whitepaper.pdf.
Blocklancer users (freelancers and clients) will be able to review each other and provide feedback on each other and this will help other platform users in deciding freelancers or clients to work with. Ratings of a scale of 1–5 is provided to enable freelancers and clients to rate each other based on their working relationship.
Separate ratings per each skill are also provided for freelancers, minimizing firing of freelancers using a blanket rating. This will help clients in having more scrutinizing details before hiring a freelancer for a particular job based on different ratings per each skill.
Blocklancer is the first decentralized and serverless job market. It has accomplish this by combining existing technologies like Ethereum and IPFS. Because the Blockchain technology is still in the architecture building phase Blocklancer has also implement its own, proprietary solutions.
