Acorn Protocol: Revolutionizing the Gig Economy with Decentralized Blockchain Technology
Acorn Protocol DAO governance: anyone can participate
Decentralized platform Acorn Protocol addresses data tagging challenges in gig economy, aims to ensure fairness for workers and employers
SINGAPORE, Jan. 24, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Two weeks ago, Acorn Protocol, a decentralized platform that aims to address the challenges of data tokenization in the gig economy, was officially launched. In today’s episode of “Innovations in the Gig Economy,” we have the team behind it to discuss the issues that led to the creation of the platform, how it aims to solve those issues, and how it works in practice. They will also talk about how the Acorn Protocol ensures fairness for workers and employers and how it can help during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interviewer: Can you tell us more about the issues that led to the creation of the Acorn Protocol?
Acorn Protocol Team: Sure. As the demand for machine learning techniques increases, so does the need for training data. The process of data tagging is labor-intensive and is often outsourced to developing countries through multi-stage intermediaries. This practice has been criticized as resembling exploitation, as there are often significant power imbalances and information asymmetries in cross-collaboration, with intermediaries often retaining a disproportionate share of the profits. To cut costs, middlemen can lower employee wages, increase working hours, suspend accounts, or cancel projects, leaving workers in vulnerable countries with little choice but to comply in order to survive.
Interviewer: That sounds like a serious problem. How does the Acorn Protocol aim to solve these problems?
Acorn Protocol Team: Acorn Protocol is a decentralized platform that uses blockchain technology to create a trustless global labor market, enabling collaboration between employers and workers without physical or regional limitations. It breaks down work into small tasks that can be quickly deployed and completed, with results verified through worker inspection and rewarded or punished in real time. The Acorn Protocol can be a useful tool for companies looking to leverage the benefits of remote and outsourced work while ensuring fair compensation to workers.
Interviewer: That sounds like a very innovative solution. Can you tell us more about how the Acorn protocol works in practice?
Acorn Protocol Team: For workers, they can participate in the platform by downloading the app, registering and choosing a project. After receiving training and completing assigned tasks, workers can receive real-time rewards in the form of floating tokens. The results of the tasks are verified by the platform through cross-checking between workers and are then given quick feedback and awards or punishments based on the results.
Interviewer: Thank you for explaining that. How does the Acorn Protocol ensure fairness for workers and employers?
Acorn Protocol Team: Acorn Protocol uses a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure that allows all members to participate in decision-making through stakes and voting. This ensures that all parties have a say in how the platform works, and that all decisions are made in the best interests of society as a whole.
Interviewer: How can the Acorn Protocol help during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected the job market, with many people losing job opportunities and seeking new ways to earn a living. The decentralized nature of the platform allows for more transparency and fairness in the labor market, which can be beneficial for low-income workers in the country who may have limited job opportunities in their local area.
