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.

Accounts can come from various sources:

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