Braintrust — is a decentralized talent network/marketplace, unlike Toptal, Upwork, Fiverr and others Braintrust brings together hundreds of Fortune 1000 businesses that process millions of dollars in transactions every month. This ecosystem uses the $BTRST token, which can be used to hire freelancers, pay, etc. The token is listed on major crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, coinlist pro, Uniswap, etc.
From Upwork (web2) to Braintrust (web3)
The nature of work has completely changed thanks to the Internet. The new office — is your home. A recent survey found that more than 50% of workers prefer to be able to work from home and try different jobs. In less than a decade, there are more freelancers than full-time workers in the world. This growth is fueled in large part by technology and networks of freelance talent such as Upwork (founded in 1998 by MIT alumnus Beerud Sheth and Srini anumolu). Upwork is a typical web2 company with built-in challenges. Generally speaking, the gigantic economy, which is over $400 billion, is ripe for decentralization. This includes Braintrust, which is a web3 talent network. Braintrust’s business model charges nothing to talent or the enterprise, saving up to 70% transaction fees than traditional Web 2.0 talent markets.
What makes BRTST so unique?
Founded by Adam Jackson, BTRST really created a buzz among market participants due in large part to its benefits of providing a skilled workforce. This is happening especially at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic has hit businesses and they will need a good workforce. I also want to note the $BTRST token which is popular among crypto investors. The Braintrust token has been launched on the Ethereum mainnet using ERC20, which is the token standard. Since its inception, the project has raised a total of $31 million from investors, which include the largest venture capital funds. BTRST is traded on the largest exchanges: Binance, Huobi, Gate.io, Bittrex, KuCoin, FTX, and others.
