The future of work is evolving rapidly, with a growing shift from traditional corporate roles to freelance opportunities across global borders. However, the infrastructure to support this transformation has lagged behind.
Enter Joba Network—a pioneering platform that’s reshaping how talents and employers connect in the decentralized workspace. By leveraging blockchain technology, on-chain identity verification, and borderless payments, Joba Network aims to build a more inclusive and seamless job market.
In this interview, we dive into the platform’s unique approach to revolutionizing the job market, its key features like trustless hiring, and the innovative solutions it offers to prepare both talents and companies for tomorrow’s challenges.
1. Joba Network aims to make work fun again while decentralizing the job market. Could you share the inspiration behind creating Joba and how it aims to revolutionize the future of work?
We believe that the world is evolving in the direction of corporate to freelance and working in one country to working across global timezones – but the infrastructure to support humans has not been upgraded to support this future of work. That’s why at Joba Network we’re focusing on building a verified work and verified identity for everyone on the internet to lay the foundational infrastructure for human kind.
2. With over 15,000 talents and 2,200+ jobs posted, what makes Joba stand out from other freelance or job platforms in the Web3 space?
Well certainly the onchain identity piece, being the owner of your identity that is unified.
3. One of your key features is trustless hiring using on-chain contracts backed by SBTs. Could you explain how this system builds mutual trust between hirers and talents, and how SBTs work in this context?
It builds trust because the SBT is immutable and non-transferable record of the user’s Role, Skills, and Languages that are verified.
4. The concept of borderless credentials and expanded financial inclusion is intriguing. How does Joba enable workers across borders to access growth capital and opportunities they traditionally couldn’t?
We believe that by having these credentials makes it easier to get a job rather than fighting bots and agencies who exist on marketplaces. In terms of the financial inclusion, we hope to use the full identity of the users to offer credit and loans that might be for the privileged fews in a country and open it up to everyone.
5. With AI and blockchain integration, how does Joba ensure that both talents and hirers are prepared for tomorrow’s business challenges?
Verified identities will be key for ensuring trust and transparency in the world of AIs and working across timezones.

This helps hirers and workers work seamlessly by invoicing stablecoin payments.
7. Can you tell us more about the verification process for talents on Joba and how you ensure the highest levels of integrity and professionalism in your global network?
We’re using credentials from trusted sources such as Coinbase Attestations and we will use social attestations to demonstrate trust.
