This story was originally posted on our Medium account here, but we are working to increase our reach to serve the cryptocurrency community better through crypto-social platforms as we continue to grow before our ICO launches. Follow us as we announce our ICO launch date soon.
We are happy to announce that Blocklancer and Starbase have entered into a strategic partnership! Using the power of blockchain, Starbase aims to connect people all over the world, introducing those who are passionate about conquering difficult challenges with the necessary team and funding to accomplish their goals. Starbase will work like a crowdfunding platform, but has a major focus on using blockchain technology to enable startup projects to offer long-term incentives immediately for those working on projects in their ecosystem.
We see a major opportunity to align incentives here. At the center of Starbase’s ecosystem is a crowdfunding platform for ICO projects to raise funds. Newly funded startups and projects are going to need specific skilled labor — this is where the Blocklancer platform comes in. Starbase project creators and startups will benefit by leveraging our platform to find the skilled labor they need by listing the job requirements on Blocklancer. This, in turn, will help create an increased supply of opportunities for freelancers on the Blocklancer platform.
Starbase also has their own rating system which rates each individual team member working on projects. Blocklancer’s rating system can act as an indicator for Starbase project creators to check if the freelancer is competent before hiring them. The STAR token is their ecosystem currency and can be integrated into the Blocklancer platform so that Starbase project creators can search for freelancers who can be invited directly via the Blocklancer platform.
Finally, the core team of projects on the Starbase platform will gain access to the premium features on Blocklancer, empowering the project creators to better find the skilled labor necessary for their project.
We are excited to come together as we ramp up for our ICO. Starbase’s ICO starts November 9th, 2017. The Blocklancer ICO launch date will be announced soon. Stay tuned as we continue to bring blockchain to the mainstream!
