Deep Tide TechFlow News, on March 11, reported by CoinDesk, investment firm Multicoin Capital introduced the concept of “Internet Labor Markets” (ILM), believing that the next wave of cryptocurrency user growth will come from earning tokens through work rather than direct purchases. Partner Sengupta stated that in the future, people will obtain their first cryptocurrencies by working, not buying.

The ILM model allows users to earn token rewards by contributing work, resources, or expertise, including tasks like data labeling, bandwidth sharing, and energy optimization. This concept is based on the development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), but emphasizes active labor contribution more. Blockchain infrastructure enables work verification and real-time settlement without traditional invoicing and approval processes.

Sengupta pointed out that this model may be deeply integrated with artificial intelligence, with humans collaborating with AI systems in areas requiring human judgment such as data labeling and quality assessment.
