KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- CanYa recently completed the second largest ICO in Australian history for $12M
- The company is preparing to launch the world’s first blockchain based services marketplace, with the option to pay in cryptocurrency.
CanYa is the world’s first blockchain-based platform for services. CanYa brings the benefits of crypto payments and the blockchain to a digital services marketplace, for a cheaper and more transparent experience for providers & users.
CanYa also owns Bountysource, the world’s first open source platform to fulfil peer-to-peer software bug bounties and audits.
CanYa services marketplace and Bountysource Open Source Developer platform will soon both integrate with CanYa Coin CAN Token as a payment option.
CanYa will completely change the world’s $2 trillion ‘gig economy’. CanYa will be a fully decentralised, international platform for people to book and pay (or be paid) for both digital and home services. Want to get a graphics designer from overseas for your new website? Use CanYa. Need an app developed? Book the developer through CanYa. Need a plumber? Book them on CanYa! CanYa aims to use all of the amazing benefits of cryptocurrencies and token economics to massively disrupt this industry with up to 20x reduction in fees when compared to incumbents like Upwork and Fiverr.
CanYa already has a working platform with thousands of jobs completed. The road map will move the platform to a completely decentralised ecosystem where payments, governance, storage and eventually compute will all become decentralised. This has never been done before and will revolutionise the way we book and pay for services.
