Mentat, a blockchain startup disrupting labor markets, will be jump starting its private token sale this month, after coming out of stealth mode and releasing its Litepaper and prototype in May. The team looks to be on the testnet and piloting the platform with several chatbot and customer service applications by July.
Mentat is building a decentralized market for human intelligence, where anyone from anywhere in the world can offer their unique skills in exchange for instant payment. These skills can then be plugged into any application that communicates with the platform. Agents will hold Mentat’s ERC-20 tokens (MENT) to perform work on the platform. The token model gives workers a stake in the value of the platform, while aligning incentives and unlocking network effects. A token curated registry structure maintains quality while creating a verifiable proof of skill for each agent.
“We’re clearly moving towards a world where business processes are handled programmatically and human work is distributed,” said Mentat Co-Founder Mitch Sapoff, who spoke at the Blockchain Tech Summit last month, “Mentat is the employment model reimagined for a more modularized workforce. We’ve made a lot of progress towards our MVP, but that’s only the beginning. The platform offers immense opportunities for developers to build innovative apps on top of it for a long time to come.”
The ambitious project will bring the benefits of blockchain to a labor market in need of decentralization. “Labor is as economically necessary as currency, but the market for labor is far less efficient,” wrote Co-Founder Ben Coleman in a blog post entitled Can Labor Be Decentralized?
