Time Swappers is a blockchain-based P2P marketplace application to give freelance service providers a convenient place to connect with potential clients and offer services. But before we try to understand the benefits of using TimeSwappers, let’s first try to understand what a freelancer is.
Freelancers and Freelance Websites
A freelancer is an individual who uses his/her specific skills or talent to help others perform a job. In exchange, they charge a fee for this service. For instance, if someone needs a website they can hire a freelance developer for the job and pay them for the service. Now, the question that comes into mind is how to find a freelancer. Well, there are platforms for that.
A freelance platform is a marketplace where potential clients looking for services can find and connect with the right freelancer offering that particular service. They can interview and hire that person for the job by determining a payment term. This is how freelance platforms usually work. So, what’s the problem?
Why do we need Time Swappers?
If you’re wondering why there is a need for another P2P Marketplace for buyers and sellers when there are already too many of them out there, here’s the answer. It is true that there are many conventional freelancing platforms but none of them is nearly perfect. There are a number of problems with traditional freelancing, as explained below.
- Freelance platforms charge heavy commission (anywhere between 10-30%) from freelancers
- It is not easy to trust just any freelancer you find on these platforms
- The payment security is another big concern
- Selecting a freelancer for any job is another challenge.
The Time Swappers platform has been built to provide a solution to all these problems. Wondering how? Let’s find out.
About Time Swappers
Time Swappers is a peer to peer blockchain based marketplace for service providers to trade their services with potential buyers in the form of tokenized time. It was developed as a marketplace especially for freelancers to provide services in a secure, reliable and hassle-free manner.
The Time Swappers platform is free to use, convenient, highly secure, trustworthy and transparent, but these are not the only advantages. Unlike traditional freelance networks, Time Swappers platform does not charge any commission from the earning of service providers. That means you can keep all your hard earned money and keep providing the quality services to the platform users.
The blockchain technology on Time Swappers platform enables users to perform high-quality and secure transactions at a nominal cost. Security and transparency is also an important aspect which is maintained through encryption and smart contracts. Each new project listed on the platform is stored as an asset in the blockchain. Each file is stored with a reference in the blockchain rather than the actual data to avoid unauthorised access. Insecurities are eliminated by storing the project value/budget in a smart contract in Era Swap. The platform is so secure that it cannot be penetrated by unauthorised agent and keeps the freelancing process free of middlemen.
