CryptoTask will integrate UTU’s trust infrastructure into its freelancing platform.

Since the dawn of the internet, online reputation and user trust has been a massive issue. Reviews are easily fabricated, which is especially problematic in a high-trust environment such as online freelancing. Solving this issue would help build trust between freelancers and clients and give both peace of mind.

That’s why we are proud to partner with CryptoTask to transform online freelancing.

CryptoTask is the first fair freelancing platform. Their goal is to automate manual work, lower freelancing fees by 90%, and make freelancing easier for both gig workers and the people hiring them.

The way they accomplish this is by automating jury reviews, making dispute mechanisms more effective, and expanding platform scalability.

UTU and CryptoTask are two different platforms with the same goal — user trust.

CryptoTask CEO Ivan Nanut noted, “We contacted the leading platform that ensures user trust — UTU. What they have accomplished across Africa impressed us deeply. In our opinion, this is how crypto should and will be used. By putting trust in the first place, they hit gold — what users are looking for.”

UTU is transforming digital trust with its AI-powered decentralized Trust Infrastructure as a Service. With this partnership, we make our first foray into the digital gig economy market which will ultimately be one of our most important sectors, with an estimated $1.5T market size.

“This partnership is incredibly exciting as it takes UTU into critical new markets in Europe and North America and in a sector where we can have a huge impact on the quality of experiences that people get,” said UTU CEO Jason Eisen noted.

“Imagine if every freelancer you hired ended up being the perfect person for the job — no scams, no hassle, no lost time. We have tremendous confidence in what Ivan and the CryptoTask team are building and the vibrant community they’ve already built. Users on CryptoTask will get personalized recommendations from people they trust, rather than anonymous recent reviews, with full privacy control.”

We look forward to working with CryptoTask to improve the reputation system of the freelancing world!
