Provides creators, traders and freelancers in Africa with opportunities to create income through connecting and learning. Live, Work and GetPaid.
GetPaid is a place that connects creators, traders, and freelancers in Africa with worldwide opportunities. We do this through digital gigs, trade, education, and innovation. GetPaid exists out of a knowledge hub to learn, a community group to connect, and an app to get paid. GetPaid is a place built for our community, existing out of creators, traders, and freelancers.
The GetPaid team is an experienced team well known with Stellar and its technology, as we have operated ClickPesa for the last 3 years. In addition, we also know the African digital economy well. Bridging those two worlds is a perfect fit. Stellar’s open, low-fee network is what creators, traders, and freelancers in Africa need. However, just giving them the technology is not enough; a simple user interface on top of Stellar is what this group needs. GetPaid is the result.
Earlier this year, GetPaid started slowly validating assumptions through low-tech solutions. We technologize where needed, as technology is not always the answer, and try different ideas catered towards our community of creators, traders, and freelancers. This has resulted in a marketplace app open for African creators, traders, and freelancers whereby they can connect with global gig-providers and earn money. The marketplace app is utilizing Stellar’s ecosystem and technology where possible. Each registered user (creator and gig-provider) gets a Stellar account to store their received tokens in.
Although we started with a community group and an app to store tokens in, the GetPaid product is far from finished. We just started, whereby utilization of the Stellar account functionality is step 1. Considering many exciting developments are happening on the Stellar network, there have been identified many interesting use cases such as NFTs on the Stellar network (low fees compared to Opensea on Ethereum, affordable for Africa, our community already loves the idea), yield earning, escrow, and many others. The first step is accomplished and our community is guiding us on what they further need. We do this with a Stellar-first approach, utilizing its technology and ecosystem as much as possible. Think of directing more users to Litemint.com to sell NFTs and using Lobstr or Stellarterm to get access to other tokens.
