As we sail further into the Web3 era, I’m excited to share insights about a groundbreaking project I’ve had the privilege to advise: Pirat3. This innovative platform is set to redefine how we think about entrepreneurship and business in the decentralized world.
The Vision: A Silicon Valley on the Blockchain#
Pirat3’s ambitious goal is to create a decentralized equivalent of Silicon Valley on the blockchain. But why is this important?
- Global Access: Unlike the physical Silicon Valley, Pirat3 is accessible to entrepreneurs and talent worldwide.
- Decentralized Ownership: The platform leverages blockchain technology to ensure true decentralization and community ownership.
- Flexible and Async: Pirat3 embraces the future of work - flexible, asynchronous, and borderless.
The Pirat3 Protocol: Empowering Entrepreneurs and Freelancers#
At its core, Pirat3 is a builder networking protocol designed for two key groups:
For Entrepreneurs (CAPTAINS):#
- Create and manage projects
- Stack projects with bounties
- Raise capital or sell projects as they mature
For Freelancers (CREW):#
- Explore projects and bounties
- Solve and verify bounties to earn crypto
- Submit proof of work on-chain for network validation
This ecosystem creates a symbiotic relationship between project creators and skilled workers, all facilitated by blockchain technology.
The Technology: ERC-721P#
Pirat3 introduces a new token standard: ERC-721P. This innovative standard builds upon the popular ERC-721 NFT standard, adding features crucial for decentralized business operations:
- Gas-efficient bulk minting
- Composability for easy project cloning
- Custom mint mechanisms for inviting, joining, and referring
The Market Opportunity#
Pirat3 is positioned at the intersection of three major trends:
- The gig economy (40% of organizations have gig workers)
- Digital commerce M&A ($61 billion in 2020)
- The blockchain economy (projected $1.78 trillion boost by 2030)
By tapping into these trends, Pirat3 has the potential to capture a significant portion of the decentralized business market.
Looking Ahead#
As Pirat3 prepares for its launch, the team is focused on building a robust community and refining the platform. With over 600 members in the Telegram community and 700+ users on the waiting list, the excitement is palpable.
In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more details about the platform’s features, the PIR8 token, and the roadmap for 2023 and beyond. Stay tuned for updates as we work towards creating a truly decentralized future for business.
The future of entrepreneurship is decentralized, and Pirat3 is leading the way. Whether you’re a visionary founder or a skilled freelancer, Pirat3 offers a new world of opportunities in the Web3 era.
