> 0% fee

This is untrue. On landing page there is already

> Fees are only up to 3%

If you scroll to the diagram ( https://thumb.tildacdn.com/tild3530-3537-4532-b434-373030613... ) it shows 30% high fee.

What is ironic given earlier

> Pain points: Huge platform fees (30%+)

I wonder how much goes to various hidden fees caused by blockchain inefficiency (gas? transaction fees)?

If you sign up on the platform, you can apply for a job, complete it and get 100% of the task value.

3% will be taken by the platform IF you decide to use an escrow system who's currently developing. You can always chose NOT TO use an escrow system.

Diagram showing 30% explains procedure for freelancers who can't find a job themselves, where 10% gets taken by the platform and gets used in CTASK burning and 20% goes to a middleman.

We aren't fixed on 20% and we may allow users to set the % of the task value they are willing to give.

What about fees for transactions, fees for converting crypto into real money etc?

You'd get 100% of the task value credited to your wallet. Process and expenses of converting cryptocurrency to "real money" (cash?), vary from an individual and countries have different cryptocurrency laws. In Serbia, you'd end up paying 15% of the sold value to tax agency. There's been a rise in OTC trades allowing for 1:1 conversion.

Transaction fees wise, ETH fees are quite high at the moment. It'd cost you around $2 to transfer funds from the platform to your wallet. Higher the task value, smaller % of it, transaction fees make. You can always decide not to withdraw your funds right away, allowing you to collect a certain amount and save up on transaction fees.

Thanks for info! That is more reasonable than I assumed from 30% diagram.

You may want to try to clarify that on your landing page.

> "real money" (cash?)

Any form of currency that I can use for things that I need to buy.
