Earlier this October, we shared with you BeInCrypto’s early impression of FYD, an online community of freelancers, businesses, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

For those who missed it, our early assessment concluded that at a conceptual level, FYD indeed has the potential to disrupt the global freelancing market by building a decentralized, democratic gig economy.

We also promised that we would keep a tab on the platform as it grows and matures over time. And that’s precisely why we are revisiting FYD today as it releases the beta of FYDme, the project’s homegrown freelancer marketplace.

FYDme enters BETA

For starters, FYDme BETA gives a much clearer insight into the project’s direction. Ease-of-use is one aspect the FYD team seems to have made a top priority and that’s evident right from the sign-up/log-in page. You can create an account with a single click using Gmail, or sign up using any other email address. 

Once in, you can start sending and receiving funds in FYDcoin (FYD) using only email addresses. No need for lengthy and complicated public keys/addresses. This is to ensure that even users with little to no prior exposure to crypto find the platform intuitive.

FYDme is available as a React app and you can use it across all devices including mobile, tablet, PC, and MAC.

Staking FYDcoin

You can start staking FYD anytime to earn a steady passive income, all you have to do is maintain an active balance on FYDme, or in your FYD desktop wallet. FYDme BETA enables you to stake FYD with a minimum amount of only 5 FYD. Of course, the higher the balance in your account, the higher the scope for earning. And the best part — the payout is done daily.

You can stake FYD using any desktop or laptop computer — no expensive hardware or setup is needed. If for some reason you are unable to stake on a desktop wallet, FYDme BETA brings along a mobile-friendly solution that enables you to stake FYD on any mobile device.

Furthermore, if you manage to acquire 400.000 FYD, you are able to host a masternode. By hosting a copy of the blockchain on a server, you are able to earn more rewards than staking while keeping your FYDcoin in cold storage. The rewards of an FYD masternode can be staked as well, increasing your passive income in FYD.

FYDcoin advantages

  • Fast transactions: FYDcoin transactions are peer-to-peer and they usually take no more than a few seconds to complete. That’s way less than the average BTC transaction that can take up to several minutes.
  • Low transaction fees: FYDcoin transactions fees are negligible when compared to the average transaction fee you have to pay for the average BTC transaction.
  • Passive income: You can earn as much as 10%-15% in passive income by staking your FYDcoin stash, or hosting a masternode on your own server to earn 15%.
  • Tradeable: FYDcoin is listed on multiple mid-tier crypto exchanges where you can trade back and forth with Bitcoin.

Why FYDme?

FYDme is the first use-case of the broader FYD ecosystem. It is an online marketplace that connects freelancers with prospective clients. The ultimate objective of FYDme is to leverage blockchain technology, decentralized applications, and digital currencies to redefine the way online freelance marketplaces operate.

FYDme is backed by FYD’s automated treasury fund and it is open to freelancers from all walks of life including web designers, accountants, consultants, programmers, animators, authors, and online content producers, among others. Through the use of smart contracts, freelancers can connect to and do business with their clients in a completely trustless manner.

FYDme: A fair and fully neutral platform

There’s no room or scope for biased judgments from an intermediary during disputes, which has been traditionally a big problem for freelancers on conventional freelance marketplaces.

Another major difference between centralized (read: conventional) freelance marketplaces and FYDme is that freelancers and clients can connect peer-to-peer without having to pay any fees to a third party. That means, on FYDme, freelancers keep 100% of their earnings

In contrast, despite only playing the role of an escrow service between freelancers and their clients, centralized freelance marketplaces typically levy a hefty platform fee that can go as high as 20% or even more.

Final thoughts

All in all, the FYDme BETA release counts as a timely and encouraging new development for the FYD community. At the time of writing, FYDswap and the gig functionalities are pending, so we will have to wait some more to get a full 360-degree view of the platform.

That said, the FYD team has done a pretty neat job by making it easier for newcomers to enter crypto and generate an FYD address. 

Furthermore, the ability to send and receive crypto (FYD) using only email addresses is another huge advantage that makes the platform more intuitive to even newbies. And finally, the BETA launch also makes it possible for users with relatively low balances to stake FYD and earn a steady passive income in crypto.
