Ethearnal is peer-to-peer (P2P) freelance system, in which employers and freelancers meet, enter into trustless smart contracts with reputation and money in escrow, and take advantage of a decentralized system of moderators, if needed. We collide reputation and economic initiatives into one by tokenizing reputation and giving it value. Thus, all parties, moderators included, have strong and aligned initiatives to act honestly, since everyone has something of value at stake, as well as something to gain if the desired outcome is achieved.
About Ethearnal
The investors control how and IF we spend the money!
Only 10% of the collected funds are released to us upon completion of the ICO. The rest money and the founders tokens remain locked in the smart contract. Once we run out of the initial 10%, we initiate a smart contract based voting process. We inform the community what we have done so far and for what we need the next 10% funding increment.
Every token holder can vote proportionally to his tokens if we should get another round of funding or not. If 51% vote no, we don’t get any money and continue working until the investors are satisfied enough to vote yes next time we initiate a voting process.
Every token holder can start a refund process!
At any time, anyone holding at least 1 ERT token can initiate a refund voting process. If 65% of the tokens vote for refund, the project is terminated and all remaining funds refunded proportionally.
So, at any time, we are in possession of only 10% of the funding and if we stop delivering on our promises you can get back the rest of your investment.
Dynamic hourly ICO cap.
Dynamic investment cap that increases every hour! $1000 worth of ether cap the first hour and then increased with $1000 every next hour. ($2000 cap per unique sender the 2nd hour, $3000 the 3rd hour and so on) This makes it inefficient to have huge gas fee to make your transaction go first and out place the smaller investors. You have new chance to participate every hour! That way a whale will have to compete with thousands of regular investors every hour. Leveling the playing field as much as possible (not bulletproof though) without invasive and bureaucratic onboarding process.
Real token utility!
Freelancers need ERT to get more work.
Freelancers are sorted by reputation by default. The more reputation you have, more likely to land more jobs, hence more money in your pocket.
Also they need to meet the employer requirement of minimum ERT at stake in order to enter into a smart contract with him.
You need them to earn as a moderator.
Moderators must stake tokens to solve disputes. Every moderator can more than double the staked tokens for each dispute he solves successfully. People that want to work as moderators will buy tokens to start their career.
You earn ether just for holding them!
When the contract completes via a dispute, no new reputation is bought. The already staked one by all participants is re-distributed in a clever way using game theory principles.
In this case, the 1% deducted from the contract value is distributed among all token holders proportionally in ether directly! You earn ether just for holding tokens.
The token must have value for the whole system to work. That’s why it’s only fair if we reward the people that help support that value.
Employers need the token to stake when hiring.
Since the employer must stake the same amount of reputation tokens as the freelancer, every employer needs them to hire reputable people.
The system buys ERT on the free market!
When a contract has finished without the need of arbitrage, the system uses 1% of the contract worth to buy ERT tokens on the free market to reward the employer and freelancer with 0.5% each. That way, they receive reputation proportional to the contract value, creating demand for the token and indirectly benefiting the token holders by appreciating its value.

- OpenAI in the search engine and the Ethearnal Personal Assistant Bot.
- Reddit ads on all subreddits for getting jobs for crypto. This is the smallest reach, but most targeted auditory.
- Facebook ads targeting only people in crypto-related and freelance-related Facebook groups at the same time. The people who are in both at the same time are not much, but it is very targeted as well.
- Linkedin campaign targeting anyone who is involved in crypto and has skill set in demand on the network.
- AdWords ads to people searching for crypto- and freelance-related stuff.
- Airdrop of ERT to all ether addresses with non-insigni cant balances.
- Bounties for users of the system who achieve rst certain marks (i.e. jobs done, money spent, and so on), thus adding a gami cation element and opportunities to make announcements.
- Measure performance. Adjust. Repeat.
- Google Adwords at Google Search. Targeting 1000s of long tail key phrases related to online freelance work and finding freelancers (for the employers). Having 1000s of long tail phrases allows for much lower cost per click (CPC) with the bene t of having very targeted traffic.
- Facebook ads optimized for high click through rates (CTR), so that the CPC gets lower and lower with time. This is how Facebook ads work. The higher CTR you have, the lower the CPC becomes. We will target fans of relevant freelance pages.
