GigTricks - An Integrated 360° Freelance & On-Demand Ecosystem

The freelance and on-demand economy are lacking the principle standards to form a trusting business relationship between clients and freelancers. To solve this problem, GigTricks has built a blockchain-based ecosystem to increase transparency, trust, and reliability among the platform participants. Every action including review and skill ratings will be verified within the immutable blockchain. As such, nothing can be forged within the ecosystem. The GigTricks objective is to create the world’s first 360° freelance and on-demand ecosystem which will be trusted by a community of millions. Ultimately, we’ve built the GigTricks platform to help fight global recession by creating unlimited opportunities for talented individuals so that they can simply find the gigs, work from home, generate income and spend on their consumer needs resulting a true economic growth.

GigTricks is founded by industry veterans Amir Shaikh, Omair Latif and Sadiq Hameed as they wanted to disrupt the way things are running in the freelance and on-demand economy and offer them with a solution that will align the unconventional workforce in a way to leverage the overall global economy. In essence, it is an ecosystem whose foundation is formed on the blockchain technology to strengthen the security and increase the transparency among the community members.

The aim of GigTricks is to come up with a 360-degree ecosystem for the on-demand and freelance economy. GigTricks is also a useful platform for fighting global recession. It ensures that talented young people have opportunities to find gigs at home and generate an income. To achieve this goal, GigTricks has utilized various advanced technologies. Here is one of the advanced technologies used by this platform.

GIGTRIKCS FEATURES

GigTricks has various reasons why it settled on the Hyperledger fabric. The aim is to ensure the ecosystem is trusted, secured, and scalable for the members of the community.

Better Data Security
The Hyperledger fabric will allow participants in the ecosystems to store and share data and information privately within nodes on the blockchain. The fabric is modeled on the permission blockchain. It will incorporate a control mechanism, which will allow other participants in the ecosystem to gain access to data or protect data from others based on set protocols. Consequently, personal data and information are secured from public and unauthorized access, thus eliminating malicious activity.
For Transparency
The other reason to use the Hyperledger fabric is that it ensures transparency. In short, it does not allow public access to personal data but will let others in the ecosystem access certain data based on protocols and settings defined.

For example, when a user sets up his profile and completes orders over time, then the reviews by other clients, skill rating, and profile will be visible to all participants. However, others will not have access to the gig budget and private messages with clients. Thus, the Hyperledger will let GigTricks strengthen security and transparency at the same time.

Limiting Transaction Fees
For secure transactions, GigTricks will utilize the Ethereum blockchain. However, to ensure there are no transaction fees, the Hyperledger fabric will power the ecosystem. Thus, all transactions are stored on the Hyperledger fabric.
