Odaily Planet Daily News: Former OpenAI employee Joey Bertschler is building an instant wage access system based on cryptocurrency through his startup Volante Chain. Volante will allow company employees to receive daily wages on the same day without waiting until the end of the month. Bertschler claims that the current wage payment method 'deprives people of 30 days of discretionary money,' especially for those who live paycheck to paycheck. The platform utilizes blockchain technology for seamless record-keeping and ledger verification. Bertschler revealed that Volante has raised approximately $2 million from private investors, and with this funding, the company expects to operate for five years without additional injections of capital.
