Out-of-the-box Integrations

What about integrations? Out of the box, StarterKit has optional modules that help you build custom features with…

🌱 @LensProtocol for social features

🎭 @Sismo_eth for privacy features

💬 @xmtp_ for messaging features

and more!

We’ve got the basics covered, so you can focus on the DIFFERENTIATING FEATURES that matter to you!

Built on TalentLayer

What’s on the backend? StarterKit uses @TalentLayer — a low-level protocol for interoperable hiring platforms.

TL helps builders with:
1. Shipping fast with out-of-the-box components
2. Growing fast with shared network effects — making it easier to bootstrap new platforms

You: “But what can you build with StarterKit?”

Me: “Glad you asked. Let me show you.”

BeeTogether

BeeTogether is a 🏆 prize-winning hackathon project from @EthPrague built using StarterKit.

🐝 “BeeTogether is your all-in-one platform to launch and manage your own service DAO or freelance collective in web 3.”

Freelancing and gig work is taking the world by storm! But, freelancing doesn’t mean working alone — that’s why work networks like freelance collectives and service DAOs have been growing in popularity. When workers come together, they can take on bigger clients, complete their skillset, pool expenses, and find work more easily! If only there was an easy way to create, grow, and manage this new kind of organization…

Meet BeeTogether! BeeTogether solves the biggest issues facing organizing a work network:

  • Job sourcing: Finding gigs for the network to do. BeeTogether helps by sourcing jobs from TalentLayer’s protocol for interoperable job platforms.
  • Governance: Managing decisions around what jobs to take, how to spend group funds, etc. BeeTogether helps by letting workers vote on what proposals to submit and manage a shared treasury.
  • Payment management: Distributing payment to contributors fairly and securely. BeeTogether helps through an automated payment splitter that automatically pays out contributors based on work done after a job has been completed.
