WhenHub Interface and ICO Lead Evolution to Gig Economy 2.0

Pleasanton, California
June 26, 2018

WhenHub Interface, a blockchain-based mobile app for connecting people with experts on any topic imaginable, is leading the evolution to cryptocurrency-based knowledge-sharing gigs also known as "Gig Economy 2.0." The app, which had 50,000 downloads in just 45 days is the company's focus for its ongoing Initial Coin Offering (ICO).

"Our objective was to de-risk the ICO as much as possible. By already having a working product, ICO participants can feel confident in our team's ability," said Quin Harker, WhenHub co-founder and CEO.

WhenHub built Interface to take advantage of the trillion-dollar market for freelancing that continues to grow worldwide. By 2027, the majority of workers will be freelancers and millennials are leading the way according to a study by Upwork.

"Gig Economy 2.0 is evolving fast, rewarding knowledge workers over service workers," said Nik Kalyani, WhenHub co-founder and CTO. "Past is prologue - this script has played out before when we went from the Industrial Economy to the Knowledge Economy. The gig workers of tomorrow are going to look very different from the DoorDashers and Uber drivers of today. We are going to see technology, especially crypto and mobile, facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and expertise for payment at a larger scale, but in way smaller increments of time than today," he said.




Interface is the first product for WhenHub Interface Network (WIN), the company's Patent Pending platform to connect people for time-based transactional business interactions. WhenHub considers Interface to be the long tail for expert consulting. Anyone can offer advice on any topic in 15-minute blocks, as long as they accurately self-rate their level of expertise. Using the Ethereum blockchain allowed the company to cut legacy banks, lawyers, and contracts out of their business model while integrating marketing into the product itself. Experts who earn WHEN tokens will want those tokens to increase in value.

"For the Interface app, an expert is anyone who has more experience with a topic than you do," said Scott Adams, WhenHub co-founder and chief strategy officer. "For example, if you are considering a new hobby, adventure, or career, it would be useful to talk to someone who has already done it," he said. Adams is the creator of Dilbert, one of the most popular comic strips of all time, and is also the primary investor in WhenHub having provided $2 million in seed funding for the business.

WhenHub overcame several technical challenges to bring Interface to the market and launch its ICO. The biggest one was to integrate cryptocurrency transactions into a mainstream consumer mobile app while providing a frictionless user experience.

The Interface app is currently available from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The company updates the app every two weeks, fixing problems and adding new features being requested by users. Crypto enthusiasts can participate in the company ICO by sending ETH tokens to the company's smart contract address "whentoken.eth."
