Every day I read about another ICO.

Every day I get messages from people who are looking for a team to help them conduct an ICO.

Every month I meet people at blockchain events who are enthusiastic about investing in an ICO or finding partners to build ambitious blockchain projects together.

No matter how ambitious and complicated the technology is, behind the technology there are always people. It’s people who develop the technology and do the ICO’s. These people want to connect.

Today they read about each other in telegram channels or search through LinkedIn to find those who are specifically interested in crypto, blockchain, and decentralized technologies.

People are looking for experts in ICO regulations. People are desperate for highly-skilled developers, especially from Russia and the Ukraine. People are looking for investors. Investors are looking for individuals who can tell what is a scam and what is real.

All these people believe in crypto, they want to deal with cryptocurrencies and are ready to accept cryptocurrencies for their work. They hate banking and political limitations which prevent them from paying people from other countries for their honest work. Because the process takes too long and banking fees are onerous.

We at Ties.Network are trying to give these people space, and we challenge you to step up and help us become the number one platform to help the global crypto-community connect and work together free from limitations.

What do I mean by limitations?

We have been using Slack for our own projects. Since we hire people globally we were excited about the new feature that allows us to directly pay team via PayPal in Slack. However, there are serious limitations: both parties must pay commission fees, only limited amounts can be sent, and team members are not happy with these limitations and fees.

Why not pay people directly, instantly and the precise amount agreed upon? There is a way to make it better than “PayPal for Slack”, because transactions can be faster, more secure, commission free, and we could eliminate disputes. Blockchain technology allows this, and we want to make sure everyone benefits from this on Ties.Network.

It’s a very simple, yet a revolutionary idea — to pay people instantly in crypto — in a world which complicates the process of financial interactions.

Remember the Rube Goldberg Machine? It was an insanely complicated machine designed to execute something incredibly simple — like crack an egg or shut the door.

Don Tapscott says in his TED talk about blockchain that this machine reminds him of how financial services work in our society today. You just want to send people money, and it takes days… And you’re limited in the number of currencies you can send, or countries you can choose, and there are so many intermediaries that you end up paying a big chunk of money for the work that can be done in seconds if we use blockchain.

Our idea is to introduce a new way of financial interactions for professionals in the crypto-community.

This is what it can look like:

Users find individuals to work with on Ties. Network (which is similar to LinkedIn, except these individuals understand and accept cryptocurrency). Individuals agree upon terms of collaboration. Smart contracts are used to ensure trust between members and avoid disputes. Ties.Network will provide smart contract templates for any type of transaction or agreement to facilitate ease of use. Every transaction is secured by smart-contracts. They self-execute after the work is done, simply and securely: you work, you get paid, directly, instantly. Smart contracts can be used to define how much each person in your team gets paid for work completed.

You can find business partners and build teams among people who are also inspired by blockchain technologies and hopefully are more experienced than yourself. Most importantly, they can prove it; every deal is registered on Ties.Network, and people can only rate you if you successfully did business together, not if they were impressed by your profile description.

You can pay your team and your partners immediately — in any cryptocurrency. You can instantly trade your services or goods for cryptocurrencies.

You can employ your legal advice or your investment expertise and get paid for that.

You can become a moderator on the platform and earn money making sure there are no illegal or suspicious transactions.

The platform will have a role and a place for everyone. We develop technologies, but we believe in people. It’s people who make the technologies happen, and it’s people who drive projects and businesses.

There is a whole new community, and it’s building a new decentralized economy based on trust and belief in people. We want to help this community connect and change the rules of professional networking.

You can also contribute. You can help spread the word and share this message. You can invest and help us make this real.
