An article about CanYa - A new blockchain application set to disrupt the service economy

Blockchain technology is set to change the world. Bitcoin is just the proof of concept - everyday new coins are being developed that have the potential to change the world with their revolutionary use-cases.

The future is now

I have been invited by one such coin, CanYa, to write an article about the future of everyday life with their new blockchain technology.

One of the biggest issues facing our human systems in this very moment is a problem of employment - more and more traditional tasks are being replaced by automation, while rural people clear more priceless forest land to be able to sustain themselves through low-income agricultural production. Some claim it's the end of work, but everywhere we look there is so much to do.

We see this clearly in the gig economy, or freelancer space - in terms of employability, skills reign supreme. Those that know how to do concrete tasks will always be valued, as long as they can integrate into a system. But currently, inefficiency exists in the ‘gig-economy’ in both market-making and in payment. CanYa seeks to address both these problems.

Making a Market

To make a market in rural areas, the antequated method of word of mouth, combined with manual trust, is used. CanYa proposes to digitalize and distribute this task. Local service provides, like fixers of agricultural machinery, can offer their services and show their portfolio of satisfied customers, visible and available right on any phone.

Instead of trusting a total stranger, and the web of rumors that led me to them, I can use distributed trust and reputation to gauge experience level and risk of hiring an outsider and bringing him or her to our farm.

With more than two years of testing in real cities in Australia, CanYa is well positioned to rapidly expand, occupying new market space as well as taking market share from the established players such as UpWork and Freelancer. What makes CanYa so special that it could enter the markets so strongly?

Integrated Payment Solution

CanYa is building an international decentralized payment ecosystem, where CanYa coins serve as the lubricant to convert any form of payment into any form of service. This is immediately beneficial for the millions of cryptocurrency lovers who now can spend in crypto for the services they need. It also boosts the entire cryptocurrency economy by allowing another market use case to come to life.

Making this kind of integrated payment system a reality, and remember it is already working on a small scale in Australia, immediately launches CanYa to the front of the global gig economy. Other sites just do not have the convenience of their own payment systems integrated into the platform, in fact they often charge additional fees on top of those that their payment partners charge.

For this reason alone CanYa can be seen as a revolutionary application of blockchain technology focused on the growing 'future of work', the service economy. Take some time to think about how CanYa could change your workflow, your small business, even your life, now.
