Hi Steemians, I found a great project with huge potential to enter the world of workforce using the blockchain technology. This article will discuss all about workchain.io including their technology, solution, team strategic partnership as well as the details of their token.
In the world of work economy, the main problem lies on the payroll system. Employees work 8 hours without getting paid at end of the day and usually takes about a week for some company but most likely every 15 days of a month. Aside from it, there are also delays in the payroll system that creates more problem in the work economy.
By using the blockchain technology, workchain.io replaces the slow traditional payroll system with real-time cryptocurrency payroll. It creates the building block of a simple and efficient process of work to payout and employees will have intant access to their salaries based on the amount of working hours they have completed. It's like working 8 hours a day with instant payout. And for the employers, workchain.io will have a big impact on the efficiency of the payroll system because it lessens the process time with cost-effective and will no longer relies on the bank's process.
Traditional Payroll System vs. Workchain

Workchain.io address the following issues in the work economy and translate it to their application:
- Identity ---> workID
- Payroll ---> workPAY
- Lending ---> workPAY Advance
How It Works
- An employee’s hours, shift or attendance is verified through the WorkChain.io app.
- Each time they clock out, the earned funds become available for instant withdrawal.
- WorkChain.io pays workers what they’ve earned in cryptocurrency.

Technology
Workchain has two components in their platform:
https://workchain.io/whitepaper/platform
Work Records
Work entities and individuals share and verify records on WorkChain.io to create complete, trustworthy work histories for users, which can then be called upon instantly for streamlined, accurate recruitment.
Payment Records
WorkChain.io builds a financial profile of individuals based on the payment settlements of the verified work records stored on the platform. These payment records form an accurate, evolving financial position based on past and future earnings that can be used for accessing capital.
How WorkChain.io Protocol Uses Blockchain Technology
https://medium.com/workchain-io/a-look-inside-the-workchain-io-protocol-286225e13f69
To automate payroll and make it instant and in real-time, we need certain things:
(Note. The bracketed text is what this step traditionally involves.)
- Work records linked to individual employees (An employee clocking in/out, or submitting a time/attendance sheet)
- A way to validate work records to create “proof of work” (A manager manually verifying an employee has worked)
- The ability to trigger payments based on this proof of work (HR or Payroll processing time and attendance weekly, bi-weekly or monthly)
- A decentralized, frictionless mode of payment (Banks processing payments)
Token details
WorkChain.io App Tokens (WATT).
The main role of the WATT token is to empower the transactions of workID and workPAY. This needs a service provider (AKA bonding) Worchain creates a token model wherein a service provider stakes (AKA bonding or more like Masternode for some blockchain applications. ) WATT tokens to earn the right to perform work for the network.
Token Information:
Supply: 1,000,000,000
Symbol: WATT
Decimals: 18
Type: ERC20
Address: 0x829a4ca1303383f1082b6b1fb937116e4b3b5605
Staking Tokens
as indicated in their websitehttps://workchain.io/watt
WATT Is used as a Staking token as:
- Membership for employees - they need to own one to have access to platform.
- Replacement for subscription for employers - employers are currently paying subscription to use payroll software. We are changing this model to staking.
- Acces to work for validators - Workforce managemnt softwares like Humanity.com and WorkPuls.com will need to stake WATT proportional to number of Proof of Work records they want to provide.
- First in line for lenders - if there is more funds available on the network than there is demand, funds from lenders that are staking more tokens are going to be used first.
