Pentonium Partners with Alchemy to Build a Decentralized Freelancing Platform

Decentralized freelancing platform Pentonium has selected and implemented Alchemy for the development of its DAO-structured, peer-to-peer (P2P) work community. Using the power of blockchain technology, Pentonium is creating an online freelancer community that is autonomous and impartial while remaining highly resistant to data manipulation.

As is often the case in the current centralized freelancer model, the client is favored over the worker due to a funding structure that takes a commission from the client. Regardless of who is in the wrong, the platform stands to lose more if the client chooses to leave rather than if the freelancer does. For this reason, if a work dispute arises, the platform is likely to be biased toward a lucrative client over an individual freelancer. As a decentralized app (dApp) with entirely transparent governance, Pentonium can eliminate instances of bias, achieving straightforward and equitable dispute resolution in an autonomous fashion.

Pentonium further solidifies its commitment to customer safety and anonymity through decentralized identity and access management that allows password-less authentication and verification. While a few blockchain-based competitors have already tried to enter the freelancer space, Pentonium goes one step further to provide P2P chat services, Decentralized Identifier (DID) authentication, and Private Jobs. With instant payments, no registration, and no risk of account manipulation, you get the full power of a truly fair, anonymous, peer-to-peer freelancing platform.

How Alchemy Is Helping

As the world's most powerful blockchain development platform and one of the most reliable node providers available, Alchemy was the obvious choice for Pentonium to facilitate the continued growth of its platform. With over 70% of top Ethereum applications already powered by Alchemy, its world-renowned reputation and hands-on support are famous within the blockchain community.

Beyond node support for its dApp, Pentonium will also use Alchemy products to provide its customers with notifications regarding order status, project acceptance, milestone delivery, and payments. In time, Pentonium hopes to grow beyond simply a freelancer platform to a service provider upon which users can build their own employee portals; Alchemy can help them achieve this. Pentonium Cofounder and Product Manager Rupak Kumar envisions the project eventually evolving into a single point of contact for freelancers and clients alike, encompassing a wide range of services that support the independent employment and job listing community.
