The marketplace is decentralized, which makes Works stand out. Other platforms, such as Toptal, Upwork, and others, take 20-40% of what the talent earns on the site, and ownership is concentrated around a small number of people and investors. Works gets 0% of the talent's earnings and is governed by a token governance community. Works can now attract and retain higher-quality employees because of this strategy. Works uses blockchain technology to take out the intermediaries and keep incentives aligned. This significantly lowers employer expenses and raises talent profits, attracting the top people in the world while sharing value more evenly throughout the network's talent.
