Fragments: The Decentralized Blockchain Platform For Expanding Micro Services!

The current micro-task services are usually close-ended and have a limited expandability thereby making the integration of other areas future plugins very difficult. As the micro service environment grows, there is need to overcome this limit barrier and create a platform where additional plugins are interconnected when the need arises.

Where open-ended micro-services platform is available, entry fees, commissions, and good-quality workers fees, are most of the time very high for these services. Lately, though, new platforms have been developed which are open to pluggable open-source modules. These new platforms aimed to tackle these issues as mentioned above and others. The Fragment Network is one such platform.

What Is Fragments All About?

Fragments is a micro service platform that aims to enable micro-task services to expand, by combining an open platform that is built on blockchain, with incentives for the developers who extend it, thus building a transparent platform that is easy to access and build upon for everyone, which also rewards developers who are able to create successful services on top of it. This platform will be a mobile-first decentralized platform, and it would incentivize developers to build future micro-task applications that probably may not be imagined today.

The goal of Fragments is to create a trusted platform, by implementing identity-management and agreements on the blockchain and providing self-hosted solutions, while reducing costs and barriers to entry for all requesters, annotators, and developers.

Fragment platform is going to handle the “mundane services such as task distribution, payments, identity verification, and agreements. It also provides frameworks for easy integration even to mobile platforms, while developers can focus on the core of their apps such as task completion, and earning tokens if their apps are used.” says the whitepaper. The Fragments platform is an open-ended platform by design as against most of its contemporaries which are single-purpose service.

THE FRAGMENT TOKEN

Fragment token is standard ER20 token powered by the Ethereum blockchain. It the vehicle of interaction on the Fragment ecosystem, created to facilitate payments and trust in the network. The Fragment token is a utility token. The token will basically be for: payment of commission to successful micro-task app developers, payment of engaged workers on the platform, staking mechanism of Task Repositories, fess of Enterprise edition support providers, and payments to Task Repositories hosting.

The Fragments platform also aims to provide the following value to its users.

Requesters: This group represents the core of the Fragment network. They are the sponsors of the tasks to be carried out. Fragment will provide them with a ready-to-use micro-task app that is available on the platform. The app will facilitate a flexible and scalable human workforce for their project. Being an open source decentralized platform, Requesters can decide what micro-task apps they want to use based on the value they provide and the commission they take, or build on the bare bones fragments platform with zero commissions.

Annotators: The barriers to entry are very low (no bank account or computer is required). Annotators can complete tasks on their device of choice and pick a micro task app which features interesting tasks and allows them to be efficient. Payments are also received in tokens that can be converted to other cryptocurrency or real-world money.

Developers: Using provided frameworks; developers can easily build apps on top of the platform. Creating innovative apps and releasing them to the general public is encouraged, since developers are able to take commission from tasks completed through their apps.

The Fragment team believes that with developers who are motivated to create apps that cannot be imagined, would make it possible for annotators to be able to earn crypto tokens online with low barriers to entry. The Fragments platform will be a decentralized hub for human intelligence that has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of the computational industry.
One of the things that make fragments unique is that it offers services and solutions that provide human intelligence.
