DAO Capital is proud to announce our recent investment in Freela, a DeFi powered and self–governing DAO designed to act as a broad platform for freelancing. Freela is introducing a game changing strategy in this space, aiming to provide the best experience for Business to Business (B2B) and Peer to Peer (P2P) interactions.

Freela’s intuitive user interface accommodates a large variety of players in the open market to match skilled freelancers for the job postings worldwide with a commission free transition. Freela’s innovative model assures a professional mediation and a fair dispute mechanism, while its platform bridges the gap between blockchain technology, DeFi liquidity pools, and DAO Governance.

Issues facing the Freelancing Industry Status Quo

There is a wide-ranging problem in today’s global labour market in distributing jobs equally and matching the skills of an employee suitably with an employer. Numerous online job boards and platforms have emerged in the wake of technological growth; however these platforms lack an efficient and trustworthy mechanism to match employees and workers around the world.

Traditional employment agencies suffer significant disadvantages that are yet to be addressed:

  • Centralization & Bias: Popular platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr are centralized organizations, and as such the data that is exchanged in the course of an employment contract can be accessed by the company or in the event of a data breach by unauthorized parties, exposing employers to the risk of intellectual property (IP) theft. These companies also have a flawed dispute resolution mechanism which is slow, inherently biased in favour of a trade occurring, and not specialized enough to understand the intricacies and details of every single employment field.

The Solution: Freela Model

Freela’s innovative platform, along with its integration into blockchain technology and independent arbitration model, improves on the current traditional offerings in the freelancing marketplace to solve a number of current state challenges within the gig economy

Platform Integrated into Blockchain

- Any information stored on the Blockchain is immutable. This provides the means to ensure that important information has not been altered. Further, no party will be able to hide or deny presence of a previous agreement or negative review will always remain stored on the Blockchain.

  • Blockchain provides for commission free interface and virtually zero cost frictionless transactions in making payments for jobs, regardless if they are on the other side of the globe.

No middlemen

  • Freela uses smart contracts between the parties which assists in reducing middlemen costs by automating financial transactions, making them quicker, more efficient and affordable.

Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

  • Freela’s platform will include a dedicated dispute mechanism that has resolution & arbitration as its primary and sole purpose.
