CanYa ICO: The World’s Best Blockchain-Powered Marketplace of Services

CanYa ICO

CanYa is a peer to peer market of skilled services – where users are instantly connected to service providers. Unlike most ICO’s we already have a working product, high user growth and an experienced team – We launched our initial product to Australia earlier this year and now we’re conducting an ICO to fund expansion into the international market as well as launching CAN token. Being able to bring a skilled services marketplace to the cryptocurrecny community allows instant spending of crypto for real services – bringing value to the ecosystem. On top of this, CanYa also benefits cryptocurrency by allowing us to bring crypto to those who want a skilled services marketplace but who are yet to become familiar to cryptocurrency.

CanYa has again raised the bar for ICOs following a major acquisition of Bountysource and its passionate 46,000 open-source developer community. In a world where most ICOs (and traded cryptocurrencies) have no product or user-base, this move is unprecedented.
