Token generation event starts April 10th
Overview
We at Blok are democratizing the gig economy by empowering the next generation, on-demand workforce through the Ethereum blockchain. Blok connects on-demand workers with verified opportunities through our open source platform. Utilizing smart contracts we eliminate current frictions in the gig economy.
Working nine to five for a single employer will be the minority by 2020. The strategy for millions of people is to compile various income streams and being their own boss rather than in traditional employment. Escaping the cubicle is within reach for millions of workers, Blok will assist in helping them achieve this freedom.
How Blok Works
Blok leverages blockchain technology to connect employers and on-demand workers across the globe. The Blok directory uses smart contracts to eliminate friction in terms of time, cost, quality, and transparency in matching workers and companies.
A company creates a gig that is verified in the Blok directory. A Blokpreneur (an on-demand worker) can then search the directory and apply directory to the gig. This relationship provides a better and faster solution in fulfilling consumer needs in the on-demand economy. Blok allows consumers, companies, and workers all to benefit from blockchain technology.
Token Supply
Total of 360,000,000 tokens will be minted. Of the minted tokens, 65% will be sold during the initial token generation event. Further, 85% of the token supply will be used to further Blok’s mission through platform development, marketing, and operational expenses. A precise break is as follows:
- 4% for the bounty program, referral programs, community events and partnerships.
