Key points
- Human Protocol builds decentralized infrastructure for dual-sided marketplaces enabling humans and machines to collaborate on fungible tasks across job creation, matching, work, verification, and settlement.
- The protocol abstracts a four-step process common to platforms like Uber and Swiggy, allowing new marketplaces to leverage the technology rather than rebuilding infrastructure from scratch.
- Decentralized settlement via blockchain eliminates intermediary control over worker payments and enables faster payouts in emerging markets without relying on traditional banking systems.
- Human Protocol's initial version runs on Ethereum mainnet with an operational machine learning marketplace called H-Capture that rewards users for providing training data.
- Singh previously founded Provenance, a misinformation detection company serving over fifty clients including news channels and media outlets before joining Human Protocol.
In their own words
“First come, first served is not a good business model here, and it is not a technologically sound solution either.”
“If Uber were being born today, they wouldn't have to build that tech.”
