Networks are groups of Metrics App users and community members that self-organize around a common principle. You can: create networks, manage networks, and/or become part of existing ones.
Labor Markets connect three groups of people: Sponsors, Providers, and Reviewers. Sponsors launch challenges that need to be solved. Providers do the work to solve the challenges. Reviewers check if the work meets the requirements. It is important to set up and manage these networks well to get the best results. MetricsDAO can offer ready-made networks of Sponsors, Providers, and Reviewers for any challenge. But it also allows others to create and manage their own networks!
By forming your own network, you can compete for deal flow amongst the other Sponsor, Provider, and Reviewer networks. The best Sponsor networks will know how to break up requests from partners and which marketplaces to activate. The best Provider networks will make themselves visible and trusted to Sponsors in order have challenges launched into marketplaces they act in. The best Reviewer networks will similarly make themselves known to Sponsors in order to receive Reviewer workflow and earning opportunities.
These networks can take many forms of management - membership may be voted on by other members or may be automated based on on/offchain identifiers. By forming (or joining) and growing a network, you increase your network’s earning potential within this decentralized labor marketplace ecosystem.
Anyone can! All you need is an idea and a Polygon wallet. Just go to and follow the easy steps.
