The shape of the job-market is changing rapidly, with remote work becoming the standard around the world and AI steering our work to become more and more task-centered. Effect Network is the platform for the future-of-work: it allows anyone to easily access the world's diverse talent. Our mission is to provide workers with a fair and vibrant online workspace, while offering companies the best solution for a human-in-the-loop and outsourcing repetitive tasks.

Why participate? 
When you build a solution that operates on the Effect Network, you're providing opportunities for individuals across the globe to access paid work, with a meaningful income, at any time and from anywhere.

Join our first hackathon by creating an innovative product using our workforce. Developers of all skill levels will be able to use our software development kit to build decentralized apps that can post and complete tasks on the network. There are endless possibilities. Although the developer tools are still in beta, there is a lot to learn and a lot to win, with over $55k in prizes!

What is Effect Network? 
Effect Network is the first blockchain-based framework for the future-of-work. People, from all across the globe earn our native token EFX while completing tasks on the blockchain. Businesses, teams, governments, and institutions use Effect Network to access a global, on-demand workforce for all their automation and data structuring needs.
