Our Vision

Our vision is two-fold, solving for both supply and demand. Engineers should imagine the platform as an API that returns payment for correct inputs (code) over a given period of time. We envision a diverse marketplace, with jobs of all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to maximally reduce friction in your quest to trade time for money - be it a 30 minute lunch break, 2 hours after work, or a full-time endeavor.

Our mission is to reduce risk and align incentives. Suppliers (those with work to be done) will recognize a new paradigm on the platform. When an engineer accepts your project, they put “skin in the game” via a buy-in. Together, the supplier's bounty and the engineer's buy-in are locked in a smart contract. If the engineer fails to deliver, the buy-in is forfeited to the supplier. Although not the ideal scenario, the supplier is at least compensated for their time. This is how we align incentives and level the playing field.

Our system solves for the "parallel work" problem. Engineers are often hestiant to start a job if the contract is "open" - ie. anyone can start and submit work. With the buy-in system, the contract is singularily awarded to the engineer who pays the buy-in. No approvals required, no risk of wasted effort.

In a successful scenario, the bounty + buy-in are transferred to the engineer upon contract completion. Completion is initiated either by the supplier or expiration of the contract timeframe without supplier objection.

No profiles. No reputation. No gatekeeping. No permission necessary.

If you think you can do the job, buy-in and get paid.
