Why GIG9 Was Born?

More than 1 billion workers will find themselves in vulnerable jobs this year. To simply enter into the job market is considered a feat on its own so this added statistic is one that needs to be noted. This is what makes the gig economy shine brightly as various factors such as your gender, nationality, age and even any disability factors do not play any roles in GIG9; all that’s needed is your willingness to get the job done.

So, any predetermined stigmas that are present in the modern-day workforce such as women entrepreneurship, workers with disabilities, young business leaders and older skilled workers have just much potential as everyone else. Additionally, GIG9 will actively campaign for these groups in the hopes of eradicating any preconceived notions.

Identity verification through the utilization of blockchain technology and a decentralized network to establish trust and transparency between parties.
Providing an intelligent system leveraging both blockchain technology and artificial intelligence to assess performance. furthermore, GIG9 will provide affordable enterprise tools to measure, track and accomplish task.

We do not claim to “know it all” or “solve it all” but we are definitely proactively addressing each problem at a time rather than placing a band aid where a fix is necessary. The beauty of blockchain is its empowerment to the users through processes like consensus mechanism and proof of stake, among other things, thus ensuring an organization is democratic in the trust sense.
