# kaal:claim:4755632-039

**Claim.** Operating entirely through crypto transactions removes the transaction costs of micro task work, because centralized mechanical turk platforms require an existing banking relationship to transfer payment to workers who are otherwise unbanked.

**Type.** design  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- applies to the ALE Platform relative to centralized micro task platforms

**Source quote.**

> Unlike centralized mechanical turk platforms that require an existing banking relationship to receive account transfers for otherwise unbanked micro task workers, the ALE Platform operates entirely through crypto transactions.
