# About Us

### Our revolutionary mission

**We believe talent should keep 100% of what they earn.**

Workton.io eliminates the outdated commission model that takes money from freelancers. Instead, we charge clients a fair 2-10% service fee, still lower than traditional platforms, while giving talent complete earnings retention. We pay in USDT and provide a complete set of legal documents for protecting authorship rights and transferring exclusive rights acceptable in world courts or patent agencies.
