Token Use Cases

The $JOBSCAN token serves multiple operational and governance purposes within the ecosystem, making it integral to both the platform's daily functionality and long-term sustainability. Its utility spans job seekers, task workers, employers, and DAO contributors.

Platform Utility

• Premium Services: Users can use $JOBSCAN to unlock resume boosters, AI-powered mock interviews, priority job placements, and advanced career analytics.

• Task Payments: Selected high-value tasks can be rewarded in $JOBSCAN, providing frictionless, gas-optimized cross-border payments.

• Reputation Staking: Users can stake tokens to enhance their profile visibility, certify their credentials, or unlock “verified freelancer” status.

• Employer Services: Recruiters can pay in $JOBSCAN for premium listing slots, candidate recommendations, and enhanced filtering tools.

Web3 Functions

• Skill NFT Minting: Certain skill badges or certifications require a nominal token burn or staking mechanism to mint.

• DAO Voting: Token holders have proportional voting rights in JobScan DAO governance decisions — from feature proposals to budget allocations.

• Grants & Bounties: Token-funded pools are used for community tool development, bug bounties, and ecosystem innovations.

• Identity Anchoring: $JOBSCAN can be used to register and verify on-chain professional identities, with optional privacy layers via ZK-proofs or encryption.

Long-term Value Capture

As more users join the platform, complete tasks, and monetize their careers through JobScan, demand for $JOBSCAN will rise organically. Unlike inflatory tokens, $JOBSCAN includes milestone-based deflationary mechanisms such as:

• Automated token burns from skill badge issuance

• Reputation staking penalties for abusive or spammy behavior

• Redistribution of idle DAO funds to reward active contributors

These mechanics ensure that value is continuously recirculated back into the hands of users who contribute the most.
