With more than 100,000 members in 100 countries, users of TimeRepublik freely exchange their skills for TimeCoins. Each TimeCoin is worth 15 minutes of service people provide. The idea was to create a system where members perform tasks like cooking dinner or teaching guitar in exchange for time credits. For example, a person walking a dog for another person can later use the five TimeCoins they earned to learn French from others. With awards for providing certain amounts of services and the promise of an expanded network, TimeRepublik is a great platform to learn new skills as well as give back to the community.
时间共和国在一百个国家拥有超过十万名会员，用户可以自由地将自己的技术兑换成时间币。每一枚时间币都相当于人们提供十五分钟的服务。其想法是去创建一个系统，会员能以煮晚餐或教吉他等工作换取时间积分。例如，一个替别人遛狗的人可以用自己赚取的五枚时间币向其他人学习法文。凭借提供一定数量的服务而获得的奖项以及扩大网络的承诺，时间共和国是一个学习新技术和回馈社会的好平台。
