Details about the registered capital, shareholding structure and advisory team were not publicly disclosed. GIGX is an active member of the Canadian blockchain community, but does not explicitly disclose the identity of a specific industry association.

★ Regulatory
InformationGIGX, as a decentralized freelancing platform, primarily provides blockchain-based trading services, without publicly disclosing information that it is directly regulated or licensed by financial regulators in Canada or other countries. Under Canadian law, decentralized platforms that do not directly handle customers' fiat funds or provide financial products may not be subject to strict regulation by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) or the Canadian Securities Regulatory Commission (CSA). GIGX's official website states that its GIGX token (contract address: 0x33fe01597EC2Df85dbB91907A52c8abE79D6C5f7) is an ERC-20 token, which is expressly not considered a security, commodity, or investment vehicle, and prohibits U.S. citizens, residents, and entities from participating in the token distribution in order to circumvent the regulatory requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The platform ensures transaction transparency and compliance through smart contracts and a digital arbitration system, but the specific regulatory number or official filing information is not disclosed in public channels. GIGX STATES THAT IT ADHERES TO THE COMMON SECURITY STANDARDS OF THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN, BUT DOES NOT MENTION SPECIFIC KNOW-YOUR-CUSTOMER (KYC) OR ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) PROCESSES.

★ Trading
productsGIGX does not offer traditional financial trading products, but supports the buying and selling of freelance services through its decentralized platform, and transactions are settled in GIGX Token (GIGX Token) or Ether (ETH). Core transaction categories include digital services such as software development, graphic design, content creation, online marketing, and blockchain consulting. The platform automates service delivery and payments through smart contracts, clients can post tasks (Gigs), and freelancers can submit proposals and get paid. The GIGX token is the platform's native crypto asset and is used to pay for services, reward premium service providers, or participate in digital arbitration. The smart contract address for token distribution is 0x21ed7c5bcc78bd719ee65d95ec65510c81d218da, and the minimum contribution amount is 0.001 ETH (about 1 GIGX, as of 2018). GIGX's services do not involve traditional financial assets (such as forex, stocks, or CFDs) and focus on a freelance market driven by crypto assets. As of 2025, the platform's trading volume and token circulation data are not publicly disclosed.

★ The trading software
GIGX provides a decentralized application (DApp), accessible via web and mobile, that allows users to browse tasks, submit proposals, and complete transactions. DApps are based on the Ethereum blockchain and employ smart contracts to execute service agreements and payment processes. Users need to use an Ethereum-compatible wallet (such as MetaMask) to connect to the platform and manage GIGX tokens and ETH. GIGX's user interface focuses on simplicity and supports multiple languages, including English and Chinese, making it easy for users around the world to participate. The platform integrates with the Ethereum network through a REST API, ensuring real-time and transparent transactions. GIGX has also developed a digital arbitration system that allows users to resolve service disputes through token voting, enhancing trust mechanisms. IN 2018, THE GIGX PLATFORM COMPLETED DEVELOPMENT AND ENTERED THE FINAL TESTING PHASE, WITH PLANS TO OPEN IT UP TO USERS WORLDWIDE. As of 2025, no specific feature updates or downloads data for DApps are publicly disclosed.

★
Deposit and withdrawal methodsGIGX's platform is settled in cryptocurrency, and users deposit or withdraw GIGX tokens or ETH through an Ethereum-compatible wallet. The platform does not directly support fiat deposits and withdrawals, and customers need to convert fiat currency to Ether or GIGX tokens through a third-party cryptocurrency exchange such as TimeX. GIGX has zero transaction fees (Zero Commission), and all transaction costs only include the gas fees of the Ethereum network, which are paid by users. The platform locks funds (Escrow) through smart contracts, which are automatically released to freelancers after the service is delivered, ensuring payment security. Users can manage wallet balances and transaction history through the DApp dashboard. SINCE GIGX DOES NOT CUSTODIAN USER ASSETS, ALL DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL OPERATIONS NEED TO BE MANAGED BY USERS THROUGH THEIR PRIVATE KEYS. The specific types of wallets supported or transaction limits are not publicly disclosed.

★ Customer

The support team assists users with technical issues such as wallet connections, token transfers, and service disputes. GIGX's Help Center offers tutorials, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and blockchain trading guides, lowering the barrier to entry for new users. The platform engages with users via Twitter (which has thousands of followers as of 2025) and LinkedIn to share platform updates and industry updates. GIGX'S COMMUNITY FORUM ALLOWS USERS TO DISCUSS THE QUALITY OF SERVICE AND PLATFORM FEATURES, ENHANCING USER ENGAGEMENT. Customer feedback indicates that GIGX's zero-fee model and smart contract payments are popular with freelancers, but some users report higher Ethereum gas fees. As of 2025, response time or user satisfaction data for specific support channels is not publicly disclosed.

As of 2025, data on the size of the platform's users and service trading volume is not publicly disclosed.

★ Technical
InfrastructureGIGX's technical infrastructure is based on the Ethereum blockchain, using the ERC-20 standard to develop GIGX tokens and smart contracts. The platform interacts with the Ethereum network through decentralized applications (DApps) that support real-time transactions and service management. GIGX's smart contract (address: 0x21ed7c5bcc78bd719ee65d95ec65510c81d218da) is responsible for the custody of funds, payment release, and arbitration processes, ensuring that transactions cannot be tampered with. The platform provides integration with external wallets and exchanges via a REST API, enabling fast token transfers. Servers are primarily located in Canada (location not disclosed), and some functionality may be implemented through a cloud service provider (such as AWS) to ensure 99.9% availability. GIGX's DApp uses distributed front-end files (based on IPFS) to improve access speed and censorship resistance. All transaction data is protected with end-to-end encryption for enhanced user privacy. The platform expressly does not guarantee the accuracy of third-party blockchain data, and users need to verify the transaction records by themselves.

★ Compliance & Risk Control
SystemGIGX's compliance system relies on the transparency of the Ethereum blockchain and the automated execution of smart contracts. Through a digital arbitration system and a token voting mechanism, the platform resolves service disputes and maintains fairness. GIGX expressly prohibits U.S. citizens from participating in the distribution of tokens in order to circumvent regulatory risks from the SEC and states that GIGX tokens are not considered securities or investment vehicles. Risk control measures include the fund custody function of smart contracts to prevent unauthorized payment operations. The platform monitors abnormal transactions through on-chain analysis to reduce the risk of fraud. GIGX's DApp requires users to manage their own private keys, and the platform does not hold user assets, reducing custody risks. The details of the KYC or AML process are not disclosed. GIGX CLAIMS TO COMPLY WITH THE ETHEREUM NETWORK'S SECURITY STANDARDS, BUT DOES NOT MENTION THIRD-PARTY SECURITY AUDITS OR CYBERSECURITY CERTIFICATIONS.

★ Market Positioning & Competitive
AdvantageGIGX is positioned as a decentralized freelancing platform with the goal of disrupting traditional freelancing marketplaces (such as Upwork, Fiverr) through blockchain technology. Competitive advantages include:

1. Zero-fee model: The platform does not charge trading commissions and only pays Ethereum gas fees, reducing the cost of freelancers.

2. Decentralized architecture: Based on the Ethereum blockchain, it provides a transparent and secure transaction environment and eliminates intermediary dependence.

3. Digital Arbitration System: Resolve disputes through token voting, enhancing user trust and platform fairness.

4. Global accessibility: Anyone with an Ethereum wallet and an internet connection can participate, making it suitable for freelancers worldwide.

GIGX's community forum allows freelancers to share experiences and optimize the quality of services. The platform plans to provide more API documentation through the developer community to enable third-party developers to integrate GIGX tokens. As of 2025, GIGX's customer base includes freelancers in North America, Europe, and Asia, with an undisclosed number of users.

★ Social Responsibility & ESG
GIGX has limited disclosures on social responsibility and environmental, social and governance (ESG) information. The platform promotes economic inclusion for freelancers around the world by providing zero-fee freelancing services, especially in areas where traditional banking is underserved. GIGX's decentralized model gives users more financial autonomy, which is in line with the concept of fairness in blockchain technology. The platform participates in blockchain community events (such as the Canadian Blockchain Conference) and shares educational content on the decentralized marketplace. In terms of energy consumption, the Ethereum blockchain (which switched to a PoS mechanism as of September 2022) is more energy-efficient than Bitcoin, but GIGX has not disclosed a specific carbon footprint or sustainability plan. GIGX's transparent trading mechanism has the potential to reduce intermediary exploitation on traditional freelancing platforms and indirectly promote social equity.

has established strategic cooperation with a number of blockchain and fintech projects, including:

1. TimeX Exchange: Cooperate in 2019 to integrate GIGX token trading, Support fiat to crypto conversion.

2. Ethereum Community: Optimize smart contract and DApp functionality through the Ethereum Developer Network.

3. Subscribe Technologies: Wholly acquired GIGX in August 2018 to provide technical and marketing support.
   GIGX also expands its ecological reach by engaging with the blockchain community through industry events such as CoinFest. The terms of the partnership or financial details were not publicly disclosed. GIGX's partnership ecosystem enhances its token liquidity and platform capabilities, but the scope of cooperation is more limited than other DeFi platforms.

★
Financial health GIGX's financial information is not fully disclosed. GIGX was acquired by Subscribe Technologies Inc. in 2018 for $10,000 and 50,000 shares, reflecting a lower initial valuation, according to PitchBook and Crunchbase data. The revenue is mainly derived from token distribution (ICO 2018) and platform trading (indirectly benefited through gas fees). GIGX does not disclose follow-on funding information and is in an unfunded status. The market cap and trading volume data for the GIGX token are not publicly available, and the minimum contribution amount for the ICO in 2018 was 0.001 ETH, indicating a high level of participation from small users. CUSTOMER FEEDBACK SUGGESTS THAT GIGX'S ZERO-FEE MODEL REDUCES FREELANCING COSTS, BUT TOKEN LIQUIDITY AND MARKET ACTIVITY MAY BE LIMITED. There is not enough publicly available information on specific revenues, profitability or balance sheets.

★ Roadmap
for the futureGIGX plans to continue to optimize its decentralized platform, including supporting more Ethereum Layer 2 solutions (e.g., Polygon, Optimism) to reduce gas fees. The platform will continue to expand the digital arbitration system to enhance the efficiency and fairness of dispute resolution. GIGX also plans to increase the liquidity and use cases of the GIGX token through partnerships with more cryptocurrency exchanges and freelancing platforms. The platform is expected to drive the adoption of the blockchain freelance market through community events and educational content. Specific new product announcements or market expansion plans are not detailed in the public information. GIGX'S LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO BECOME THE GO-TO DECENTRALIZED PLATFORM FOR FREELANCERS AROUND THE WORLD, INTEGRATING MORE DIGITAL SERVICE PROVIDERS.
