We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Opolis, a blockchain-based employment cooperative providing employment tech aimed at empowering independent workers in the Web3 ecosystem!

The integration of Aurora Labs and Opolis will empower independent workers by enabling seamless USDC payments on the Aurora network, fostering flexible payment processes, and providing greater accessibility to compensate workers in their preferred currencies. This partnership is expected to greatly benefit both Web3 businesses and independent workers that function globally to manage their payrolls efficiently.

With this integration, Opolis members will be able to receive payments on-chain in USDC.e or USDC on the Aurora Network. Moreover, businesses operating in the Aurora ecosystem can leverage the Opolis platform to streamline payments for freelancers and fund payroll, driving increased financial flexibility and operational efficiency. Aurora Labs will be one of the significant players in Opolis’ mission to collaborate with successful blockchain ecosystems and provide them with flexible payment options, thus redefining the experience for independent workers.

“The way people work is changing, and we at Aurora are making shifts to accommodate that,” said Anton Paisov, Head of Integrations at Aurora. “We want the independent workers that are a part of our team to get paid in a way that suits their best interests and prioritizes the things that they value the most. This integration with Opolis makes this vision a reality.”

“We’re on the brink of a workplace revolution that will provide workers greater autonomy, flexibility, and satisfaction than a traditional ‘career’ ever could,” said John Paller, Executive Steward at Opolis. “What Opolis wants to do is to empower people to work the way they please and make all of the scary administrative stuff easy. This integration with Aurora furthers that goal by opening up access to the folks that prefer payment in digital currencies.”
