Two observations I made as I visited your website :

1. The use of smart contracts to ensure that work is done before payment. Other freelance sites have job milestones that are completed and part payment made after completing each member milestone. How is your method better than the milestone method?

2. On one part of the website, you indictated no more banking no fees but barely scrolling down I can see that laborcrypto charges users about 3% fee. Can you reconcile these two contradictions?

Thank you.

They will be a milestone in LaborCrpto as well, and once each milestone is achieved the smart contract will release funds based on those, those milestones of course are set prior to the job starts.

as for fees, 3% is a lot less than what Upwork freelancer and many more charges ( 20-30%) 3% is exactly what credit cards or PayPal would charge but don't come with any protection if there is a dispute between client and freelancer,  but what more is, the revenue sharing every quarter. so users that are active in the platform will share 50% of the revenue collected from ( 3% transaction fee + Ads revenue) proportionately based on each individual contribution. so as the platform grows so does the Ads revenue and that will be shared with the users and if you do the math, you will find it worth much more than 3% of the transaction fee, this would be build loyalty and repeat business.

This project is already in the making, check out the website soon as well will be sharing the progress soon.


thank you for your question.

Ok but then this is still the same method as other freelance sites. My question was how it was better than the others?

This is quite a good strategy, as I am sure such incentives will boost commitments among users.

This seems to be a good strategy. but the question is will the freelancer will get to work in different field and who are gonna hire is it only related to crypto ?

Up to 50% bonus to presale investors!! That's kinda crazy.
The crypto freelance platform idea is actually not new. Projects like Storm are already on it. But saying that your platform is better than Upwork is a big claim. You can't beat a giant like that with just low fees. The main issue is of getting the clients. And since your platform only accepts your native token, getting traditional clients will be very difficult. Less clients = less work = less freelancers = less revenues. Have you thought about this?
