Transparency is a given on Braintrust, so we’re going to level with you.
Since the Coinbase listing, Braintrust has experienced a rapid increase in bots attempting to take advantage of BTRST-earning opportunities. Thanks to our robust security and authentication protocols, they have not been successful. However, they have created a bit of a spam traffic jam that’s making it hard to share numbers right now. So until we can completely clear it up, we’re pausing on reporting on Total Talent. We can’t wait to get back to sharing this with you soon!
Let’s highlight a few amazing talent on the network who’ve recently landed jobs! If you’re looking to do the same, take a look at their profiles and grab some inspiration for how you can improve yours to better tell your unique story and highlight your strengths.
How much do talent really lose to profit-seeking middlemen and outdated talent platforms? Everyone knows they charge exorbitant fees, but how big is the impact of this wage rake?
Turns out, pretty big. Check out the latest blog, Why Fees Matter, to see the incriminating details:
This kind of profiteering and wage abuse is why Braintrust was founded. Workers deserve to keep their hard-earned money, and the simple truth is that you don’t need to charge these fees if you have a smarter system that values equity and ownership.

Check it out.

And while Braintrust is incredibly excited about all the new members who are excited to join this movement, the focus is (as always) on ensuring that this community remains a place of learning, connection, and development for the incredible freelancers who build it.
As such, the following projects are all top priority:
Last week’s growth report announced that BTRST withdrawals are live!
This is exciting news, but the process is a little more complicated than some users are familiar with - particularly those who are new to the crypto space. So in addition to that helpful graphic shared last week, Infrastructure is hosting a special event to break down how to withdraw BTRST and answer all the most pressing questions about the process.
Because, let’s be honest, sometimes crypto can be confusing and there are a lot of new terminology and security protocols to get familiar with. But that will never be a reason that Braintrust users can’t access their tokens.
And because helping is Instrastructure’s love language, they’re working with other network users to build out even more useful documentation in the Help Center, including:
Onboarding communications are about to become better-timed, better-looking, and just all-around-better. And not a moment too soon!

One of Braintrust’s values is to be community-driven. And that value has been on display in spades! With a massive influx of new users, there have been a ton of questions to answer and work to do to help acquaint them with all things Braintrust. Let’s take a moment to recognize how this community has rallied together to make the experience here great for everyone!
A note of thanks from one community member to others!
