Blockchain can be a cornerstone for the future gig economy. Its decentralized, transparent ledger ensures secure, trustless transactions, eliminating intermediaries like payment platforms. Smart contracts automate agreements, guaranteeing timely payments and reducing disputes. Workers can verify their identities and credentials on-chain, building trust with employers globally. Blockchain’s tokenization enables micro-payments, ideal for short-term gigs, while ensuring low fees across borders. It also empowers gig workers with data ownership, letting them control their work history and reviews. However, challenges like scalability, energy consumption, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed. With solutions like layer-2 protocols and clearer regulations, blockchain can create a fairer, more efficient gig economy, giving workers autonomy and security.
