The Coin Economy, Explained in Plain Language
Maya Thorne
Platform Economist
An in-platform currency only works when both sides can see exactly what it buys and how it leaves. On TaskHub, coins are the ledger of work: buyers fund tasks, workers turn completed work into coins, and everyone reads the same exchange rates.
Buyers purchase 10 coins for $1 and spend them funding tasks. Workers earn coins on approvals and withdraw them at 20 coins per $1. The spread between those two rates is TaskHub's transparent fee — nothing is hidden on either side.
That asymmetry is the business, and it stays honest because it is aligned with both roles. Buyers want high-quality, well-scoped work. Workers want tasks they can complete and get paid for reliably. The platform earns the difference, so its interests point the same direction as theirs.
Understanding this changes your decision — as a buyer, fund tasks realistically and review fairly; as a worker, track your effective hourly yield, not just your submitted volume.
