**2018**

- [3128900-041](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-041) [condition/argued] -- Because holding and storing the platform's tokens requires no banking relationship, internet access is the only requirement for a micro task worker to earn a living on the platform.
  > Holding and storing Semada tokens does not necessitate a banking relationship. All that is needed for a micro task worker to earn a living on the Semada Platform is access to the Internet.

**2024**

- [4734750-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4734750-038) [condition/argued] -- Because payment runs entirely through crypto transactions and reputation tokens rather than bank transfers, the only thing a micro task worker needs to earn a living on the platform is access to the internet.
  > All that is needed for a micro task worker to earn a living on the CRDAO is access to the Internet.

- [4755632-039](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-039) [design/argued] -- 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.
  > 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.
