# kaal:claim:3128900-016

**Claim.** The protocol lowers cost because it removes the manual verification step and the associated multiplication of micro task work that centralized systems require, letting decentralized workers capture the gains from disintermediation.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- micro task crowdsourcing under the Semada Protocol

**Source quote.**

> the Semada Protocol removes the manual verification and the associated multiplication of micro task work necessitated by centralized systems, enabling its decentralized micro task workers to profit from the disintermediation.
