Problem

The freelance industry has been rapidly growing, and it has become a popular career option for skilled professionals, providing flexible and cost-effective solutions to small businesses worldwide. However, relying on third-party platforms to resolve conflict has become a significant issue for freelancers and clients. This often leads to disputes being resolved unfairly or incompletely. As the demand for freelancers rises, the need for a swift, fair, automated, and transparent conflict resolution mechanism becomes more critical.

That's where FreelancoDAO comes in. By providing a decentralized autonomous organization for freelancers and clients, FreelancoDAO offers a fair and transparent voting mechanism for conflict resolution. Members of the FreelancoDAO can review conversational evidence and documents to facilitate a fair agreement to resolve disputes in favor of the client or the freelancer. This voting mechanism is supplemented with a state-of-the-art automated AI model, which independently reviews the provided evidence to decide how to resolve the conflict. The model's decision is considered in tandem with the popular vote results to decide which party is ultimately in favor, thereby negating any bias or collusion among the members of the DAO. The use of AI technology ensures that at least one vote is constantly cast, even in the absence of members, providing a fast and reliable conflict resolution mechanism for freelancers and clients alike.

With the freelancing industry expected to surpass $12 billion by 2028, FreelancoDAO presents an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to capitalize on this growing market while supporting fair and transparent conflict resolution for freelancers and clients.

Over the last ten years, platforms have emerged from the success of big tech, which now dominates entire industries — think Airbnb, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. Platforms connect buyers and sellers, creating economies of scale on both the demand and supply side, creating a fly-wheel-based growth engine.

For any business, one of the reasons to want a platform is for control. The alternative is to accept a growing portfolio of technology that doesn’t work together and can’t be re-used, leading to increased operating costs and lower agility. A platform brings with it both opportunities and challenges — none more pressing than that of trust.

For a company with a platform, apart from the apprehension business units may have in losing control, there is also an element of concentration risk, i.e. even with the best (and most expensive) defense in place, no system is foolproof, and the impact of a breach for an organization could be catastrophic. Regulatory penalties and the reputational damage of a substantial breach are the most apparent impacts, but failing to comply with regulations when there has been no breach, can be costly.

Security and compliance are probably the most prominent challenges with the next-generation platform, but there are others. Today's proprietary and centrally controlled outlets must be replaced with decentralized, open ones; trusted parties replaced with verifiable computation; and inefficient monolithic services replaced with peer-to-peer algorithmic markets.
