The Internet revolutionize not only the technological field but also, other important areas of life. One of the fields in which the Internet affected vastly is the work industry. The Internet brought about endless possibilities such as the ability to be self-employed, the ability to work from home, the ability to sell your goods and services to clients without meeting or getting to know them, the ability to earn without a college/University degree, etc. Due to the high rate of unemployment today, many individuals have been self-employed and able to earn a living via the Internet as freelancers.
One of the setbacks in freelancing is that freelancing platforms that serve as a medium to connect clients with freelancers charge huge fees. Top freelancing platforms such as Fiverr, Upwork, PeopleHour charges huge fees ranging from 20-30%, leaving freelancers with just 70-80% of the value of their work. This setback is what CanWork, a blockchain-based platform is here to solve.
Just like other freelancing platforms, CanWork is a global freelance market place for high-quality digital services such as content writing, coding, graphic designing, editing, software engineering, etc. CanWork is a decentralized application built on the etherium blockchain to help facilitate feeless, secure and trustworthy services between clients and freelancers. With the aid of Etherium smart contract, CanWork is able to protect both parties without any middleman through an upfront payment on an escrow smart contract. When the job is done, the client then releases the funds from the escrow smart contract to the freelancer. In comparison to other top freelancing platforms such as Fiverr, Upwork, etc that charges a 20-30% fee, CanWork charges no fee. Freelancers only pay a 1% on payment remittance which makes CanWork an oasis for both clients and freelancers. CanWork made it to the 2019 State of DApps MEW DApps ranking as one of the decentralized platforms which is MyEtherWallet supported.
In order to get started selling your talent as a freelancer, follow the easy procedures below:
The CanWork platform is built on the Etherium blockchain and uses the CAN token (an ERC-20 token) for payment. In order for freelancers to receive payment, they need an ERC-20 token supported wallet. MyEtherwallet is a secure and trusted wallet all over the globe that supports ERC-20 tokens. Below are easy steps to create MyEtherWallet.
CanWork platform is very profitable for freelancers all over the world. It is also a secure and trustworthy platform that eliminates middlemen between clients and freelancers. For these reasons, CanWork freelance platform is here to stay and has a very bright future. In addition to the web version, I suggest CanWork should develop mobile applications for iOS and Android devices. I am rating CanWork a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
