WhenHub Interface and ICO Lead Evolution to
Gig Economy 2.0

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." More information
