ICO Talao is a new decentralized platform on the blockbuster, where companies will interact with freelancers and talents. The new project will provide an opportunity to find and mobilize the best talents in the industrial and technological sectors. According to the developers, companies will be able to find experienced freelancers in the talent market, based on their experience, skills and abilities, while the interaction will be carried out without intermediaries, and without commission

Key features

+ The Protocol of Certified Professional Reputation
Talao introduces a unique way for talent to own their professional reputation data thanks to a secured digital vault storing certificates on the blockchain.

With Talao, Freelancing Talent own their professional reputation, not the platforms. Sharing plans with agents are also available, allowing job boards and other marketplaces to use this unique feature.

100% on the blockchain, 100% own by Talent. Only usable with the TALAO token. Any Marketplace. Any job board. Anywhere.

+ DAO
Talao is the first international and fully decentralized organization managed by Talent. The Talao reputation system is designed to enforce professionalism and fairness in the ecosystem. It includes client satisfaction and community contribution. The Talao decision making system is made up of smart contracts to propose, vote and finally to change data used by the marketplace, the Reputation Vault and the DAO itself. All decisions are supported by Talent reputation.

+ 0% Commission, Middlemen-free marketplace
From escrow to payment, the marketplace uses Ethereum smart contracts. There are no middlemen and 0% fees taken by the platform. The marketplace business model is a Freemium model with feature prices set by Talent communities.

+ The Talao Token, fuel of the platform
The TALAO token is a utility token and ERC20 compliant. It is needed to access marketplace services, DAO functionalities and to manage a personal Reputation Vault.
It has 2 types of usage.
Tokens are either stacked as deposits (protocol stacking function written in the token smart contract) or transferred from client wallets to talents’ or community wallets (protocol transactional function).

+ Transparent and fair governance
Although it is incorporated as a company, Talao is not structured to distribute profits to its shareholders. If anything, profits are to be reinvested in the company to finance its future development. Company articles of association are public and a copy is uploaded to IPFS. The DAO voting process is a public smart contract too. As provided by Talao’s articles of association, the Board is composed of members who are appointed by the founders and DAO communities.

+ An escrow system with tribunal for conflict settlement
When fixed price contracts are paid with tokens and signed between
Talent and clients, funds are escrowed.
In case of conflict, a reputation based tribunal will settle the issue.

+ Multiple means of payment
Payments can be made in fiat or with crypto-currencies. This makes the platform adoption quick and easy and functionalities closer to the needs of client and talent.

Market strategy

The go to market strategy is focused on ensuring quick and optimal adoption of the TALAO token from very specific communities. The Talao marketplace has client and talent as users, and the entire approach to success centres on the concept of a “virtuous cycle.” Satisfied clients attract more clients, mostly through word of mouth.

The best talent attract clients. Our conviction is that a new network effect boosted with tokens has to be at the heart of the go to market strategy. The opportunity to incentivise early adopters with TALAO tokens and to develop an efficient go to market strategy is a key driver.
