Blocklancer ICO: Roles on the Freelance Marketplace
Blocklancer’s CoinMarketCap Profile:
Tokenholders: Platform Governance
Perhaps the most critical role on the Blocklancer platform is that of the Tokenholder. Those holding Lancer Tokens (LNC) are Tokenholders and, therefore, subject to certain benefits and responsibilities on the Blocklancer platform. The Tokenholder on the Blocklancer platform is synonymous with shareholders within a corporation. The difference between Blocklancer and the traditional corporation is that Blocklancer is decentralizing platform governance features, allowing them to be voted and decided upon by Tokenholders.
Tokenholders will receive 100% of the 3% of fees charged by completed employment contracts on the Blocklancer platform and will be responsible for voting in the dispute resolution process should disputes occur between Freelancers and Clients. This puts the decision-making power in the hands of those holding LNC — allowing for more fair way to handle disputes on the platform.
Tokenholders have an incentive to participate in the dispute resolution process, decided by majority vote, because the Tokenholders who vote with the majority-side receive LNC FROM the Tokenholders who voted on the losing side, resulting in lost LNC from those who vote against the majority.
Freelancers: Perform Skilled Work
Blocklancer project has emerged as an innovative decentralized business model called the Distributed Autonomous Job-Marketplace (DAJ) because of the problems Freelancers face on a daily basis on present-day freelancing platforms. For these reasons, Blocklancer aims to help solve problems skilled workers face in order to create a more efficient global job market, reducing the friction experienced in the present-day freelancing process.
Freelancers are also a critical component to the success of any freelancing platform. Thereby, creating a more dependable platform with innovative employment opportunities, Blocklancer will attract more freelancers who are serious about their work. Some of these problems are outlined in our White Paper which can be found in detail on the official Blocklancer website, but are listed succinctly below:
- Unnecessary difficulties receiving payments from clients:
2. Unlimited centralized power on current freelancing platforms:
3. High fees on current freelancing platforms (Blocklancer = ONLY 3%)
4. Clients leaving undeserving/negative profile reviews or unfair dispute settlement:
Blocklancer is aiming to make job proposals as easy as possible for Freelancers within and outside of the blockchain industry. With an initial focus on becoming a resource for the blockchain community’s needs, Blocklancer will then branch out to non-blockchain markets with a focus on becoming the Freelance platform of the future.
Clients: Find Low-cost Freelance Work
While Blocklancer focuses more on helping the individual Freelancer than the corporation, the Leadership Team understands the symbiotic relationship within the ecosystem and, thus, will be far more affordable than any currently available option for businesses.
Blocklancer employs ONLY a 3% fee on Employment Contracts created by businesses, but the fee is paid by the Freelancer for having the opportunity provided by the Client. These are essentially projects or gigs a Freelancer can scan the Blocklancer platform for, evaluate, and submit a proposal to be reviewed by the Client.
Below is a comparison of platform fees charged by present freelance job platforms:
As you can see above, Blocklancer will be very attractive to companies seeking Freelancer’s for specialized, niche work. The fees are non-existent for companies, which should result in a major increase in employment opportunities. We expect this to, in turn, attract Freelancers to the Blocklancer platform seeking fair employment opportunities.
Another important feature to note in the red box — just look how how much existing freelance platforms gouge their Freelancers…10–20% of the employment contract PLUS withdrawal fees, conversion fees, and 3–4 days time for funds to hit your account. Blocklancer was developed with these key negative features in-mind for you to have a better Freelance experience!
