Dare to trade. Dare to win.
29-year-old Zhang Xu, who works at an ordinary company in Changsha, has always been a low-key social anxiety patient. He never participates in after-work gatherings, hasn't updated his friend circle for three years, and has even been misunderstood by the human resources department as 'emotionally unstable'.
However, an unexpected discovery left his colleagues astounded. Someone shared a screenshot in the company group, showing that Zhang Xu's digital wallet suddenly had an on-chain transfer record of 420.58 USDC, originating from the Huma Finance contract.
This discovery sparked curiosity and speculation among colleagues. Some asked him if he was working part-time, while others worried whether he was involved in some gray area work. But the reality is much more interesting than they imagined.
It turns out that Zhang Xu did not engage in traditional part-time jobs, such as food delivery or errand services. He actually found a 'on-chain job' in the Web3 world.
In the thriving development of Web3 task platforms, Huma Finance has proposed an innovative concept: using 'proof of income' as a credit asset, allowing users to accumulate their 'on-chain credit' while completing tasks.
Zhang Xu's work includes translating project white papers, sharing task links, and completing various wallet interaction tasks. These tasks are managed through smart contracts, and upon completion, USDC is automatically distributed as compensation.
This new type of work model is called 'on-chain freelancing'. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that all income is genuinely recorded on the blockchain, providing traceability and verifiability. This not only offers workers a new way to earn money but also establishes a credit record that can be used for future mortgages.
Zhang Xu's experience demonstrates how Web3 technology is bringing innovation to the traditional job market, especially by providing new opportunities for those who may feel uncomfortable in traditional workplaces. This model not only offers a comfortable working environment for socially anxious individuals like Zhang Xu but also provides them with new ways to build professional credibility.
With the further development of Web3 technology, we may see more innovative employment models emerge, providing more diverse job options for talents with different backgrounds and characteristics.
