"With an estimated 90 million self-employed workers by 2028 in the U.S. alone, current toolsets are either out-of-date or non-existent for this population of workers. Up to now, virtually all employment and HR technology is designed toward corporations as the primary ‘customer’. That is all about to change as we see the emergence of next-generation Employment Cooperatives like Opolis.
Opolis was designed by those that use it; by independent workers for independent workers. The core characteristics of the Opolis platform are:
The ecosystem is as permissionless as compliance will allow.
For its users, it acts as a benevolent and neutral public utility.
All stakeholder groups are incentivized around community growth.
Value is created and shared equitably by all stakeholders.
The ecosystem is owned by its users and used by its owners.
Members contribute to important decisions about the network."
"With Opolis, freelancers and gig workers everywhere have access to the same health benefits, life and disability insurance, and other services that only corporate employees have had access to traditionally."
"Simply use your Ethereum wallet to spin up a Delaware or Wyoming LLC by sending 39 DAI to the OtoCo company assembly smart contract. Activation is instant without loss of legal validity."
: example of a DAO organized as a Delaware limited liability company.
"Unlike The DAO, which was arguably an implied partnership that provided members with limited legal protection, The LAO's operating agreement expressly limits the members' liability and limits any fiduciary obligations amongst members, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law."
