Gig Economy Platform

Definition ∞ A gig economy platform is a digital service that connects independent workers with clients for short-term tasks or projects. These platforms facilitate flexible work arrangements and often act as intermediaries for service provision. They enable individuals to offer their skills on demand.
Context ∞ Blockchain technology and digital assets present new possibilities for gig economy platforms. Decentralized solutions could offer more transparent payment systems, reduced transaction fees, and improved data privacy for workers. This area holds potential for fairer compensation and enhanced global accessibility for independent contractors.
