Prior to it's global launch, Canya - a project born out of Australia which is on the mission to disrupt the freelance marketplace with tiny transaction fee (20x lesser than traditional platforms) by using cryptocurrency together with a stable store of value integrated in its hedge escrow function, was named among five others in the first ever JD blockchiain accelerator/AI program.
JD.com - an online/offline retailer is regarded as a major direct rival to Alibaba and has over 266 Million users with over $50 billion annual revenue. In it's quest to unlock the ‘transformative potential of startups demonstrating cutting edge talent in the blockchain space’, JD.com inaugurated a cohort of 6 blockchain startup projects (CanYa, Bluzelle, Nuggets, Devery, republic protocol and Bankorus).
CanYa along with others will be receiving
the full backing of JD international business development, immense marketing / PR resources and vast network. The program commenced with a signing ceremony at Nasdaq (NYC) where JD is traded.
CanYa is already in partnership with great companies like (Digix 'offering the store of value option', Gladius 'to protect against DDos attack, and MADANA - for data analysis) and had acquired the Bountysource platform - the world's first and largest p2p open source platform which have over 46,000 developers and a number of high profile teams including IBM, Facebook, Adobe, Ripple and Uber.
With a working product since 2015, great partnerships, and an established team, CanYa is on the mission to disrupt the freelance space and consciously accelerate the widespread use of cryptocurrency.
