Account

An Account represents a connection with a third-party data provider.

An Account represents a connection with a third-party entity (e.g., Wallet Address, GitHub, X, LinkedIn) that feeds reputation data into Talent Protocol. Accounts can exist independently or be linked to a user.

A User represents an individual that signed up on talentprotocol.com to verify their reputation data and increase their Builder Score, by connecting multiple accounts.

Key Attributes:

• Accounts have Account IDs (previously know as Passport ID) and account-specific URLs (until they're linked to a user), following this format:

  • talentprotocol.com/address/0xbd…23d4

  • talentprotocol.com/github/filmacedo

• If linked to a user, the account URL will automatically redirect to the user’s profile URL. Otherwise, it will show the data from that imported account independently.

• Once linked to a user, an account loses its independent profile and redirect to the user’s profile. The account also loses its Builder Score, and its data feeds into the user’s aggregated reputation.

• Accounts display their own Builder Score unless linked to a user, at which point their data integrates into the user’s aggregated Builder Score.

• Users can claim an imported account by verifying ownership (e.g., signing a wallet message, connecting GitHub).

Types of Accounts:

• Indexed Account: All accounts being tracked by Talent Protocol, whether connected by users or imported automatically.

• Imported Account: Public accounts indexed directly by Talent Protocol, without any explicit user action, such as curated wallet addresses or public GitHub profiles.

• Connected Account: Accounts actively linked to a user’s profile and with verified ownership.

Account Sources

Accounts can come from various sources:

• wallet: Cryptocurrency wallets (Ethereum, Base, etc.)

• github: GitHub developer accounts

• farcaster: Farcaster social accounts

• lens: Lens Protocol accounts

• x_twitter: Twitter/X accounts

Account Relationship to Profiles

• Multiple Accounts from different sources can be connected to a single User Profile
