Interesting idea blending two worlds together. Intrigued to see how this helps grow the crypto community.

It looks like a really promising product for the HR industry, and I’d gladly recommend it to my friends who are in search of remote jobs. Can you explain how the gigs work and what they represent? Can't seem to find a pattern to them, salary, equity, and popular tags...Do you reckon this will replace competitors in the future?

Hello Manana,
my name is Florenz from Chrono.tech, the development company behind LaborX.com.
Thanks you for your interest in LaborX!
The Gigs module on LaborX follows a simple principle:
Everyone can create an offer, advertising their skills and services. You may add a headline, images, payment, explanation text and select the matching skills from a list of over 400 matching your Gig.
When done, your Gig will be published on the platform’s Gigs page, visible to a world of Employers and Contractors to choose - and can also be shared conveniently via popular Social Medias. The Freelancer can then be contacted directly by Employers on the platform with whom they may finalize the exact details for carrying out the job.
Here you can find an example of such a Gig from someone who’s expertise lies in Design & Illustrations: https://laborx.com/gigs/id18
Best Regards,

Guys, are you planning a "#favorite" collection?
Do you have a weekly email newsletter segmented to tastes?
@manana_samuseva
Hi Manana,
thanks for bringing this to our attention!
We will definitely consider adding a ‘Favorite’ section to LaborX.com!
Newsletters are a great idea, too! We are actually already looking into this and are tweaking on the perfect segment targeting for it still.
Best Regards,
Flo
@kugusha @vladimir_vahrushev it's absolutely for everyone, gigs of all types, shapes and forms are welcome🙌🏼
I’m the CEO of laborx, we have worked hard to bring out the truly decentralised work option. Now it’s possible to complete jobs and receive payments with your own crypto wallet. Hope you guys like it as much as we do. Would love to hear your feedback.
Hey Product Hunt 👋🏼
Alexandra here, Product Manager of LaborX. Thank you so much @kevin, for hunting our product!
Since we first launched LaborX, our blockchain-based freelance jobs platform, we’ve seen lots of interest from freelancers and customers alike. As a big ‘thank you’ for helping us get where we are, we have a special offer for the Product Hunt community to go with our latest update.
We’re very excited to announce a new feature ⚡️ LaborX’s Gigs module offers a convenient, simplified way of arranging work. Freelancers can advertise specific Gigs – popular tasks that are in constant demand, from designing a new logo to building a website or even writing a smart contract – and set a fixed price. Customers order the Gig they want, starting the process simply by depositing crypto to an escrow account, releasing funds to the freelancer on successful completion.
Just like other jobs, Gigs include all the protections that LaborX offers, from escrowed payments to reputation and dispute resolution systems. And because all payments are made in crypto, they’re fast, global, and efficient.
Thanks again for supporting us! To show our gratitude, we're giving free Premium account status for a month to all new users from Product Hunt 🎁🎉 Premium accounts offer all kinds of great perks on LaborX, from zero fees to increased referral bonuses.
We hope you’ll find Gigs a great addition to LaborX, and would love to hear your feedback on this update!
Cheers,
Alexandra
Hello @nerdfoxdesign, premium account offers great benefits such as:
Zero fees, forever – saving freelancers 5% and customers 1% on every completed contract
Better referal bonus (80% referral bonuses)
Reduced dispute resolution fees
and Cash back (customer receive 1% of the contract amount back to their wallets)
Looks rather useful and just about time! BTW Is there only ETH supported or it's possible to get paid in BTC?
@d_d9 hi, eth and it’s assets are supported, easy to add wbtc, plus binance chain and its assets
A great step forward and great timing it seems with so many people unemployed due to recent events. The whole employment sector needs improving and every bit helps. Great ideas coming from this project.

Thank you for your interest in our platform!
Indeed the current global situation highlights once more the need for innovation in the employment industry, wherever remote working can be applied. We have been pursuing this mission long before the recent Covid-19 pandemic and plan on continue doing so for decades to come.

@florenz_brunner Hi Flo, thanks for replying. That's a nice touch and I appreciate the effort. I've been following LaborX and Chrono.tech for a while now and I look forward to the project going well. I like the concept so much for it's potential that I shared it on a few remote working pages on Facebook and mentioned it many times to people. I am not a user yet as I am studying, but I will be using it in the future. Thanks for your hard work
Great template for recruiters and job searchers. Can help recruiters to automate the pre-screening process. I can see a lot of Small Businesses, as well as a new one, use this tool to find good staff. How do you plan to get the word out to employers?
