Data Issuer

A Data Issuer is the trusted entity associated with Data Point on Talent Protocol.

Key Attributes:​

  • Represents the source of trust for the data (e.g., GitHub, Base, ENS).
  • It can be distinct from the technical provider where Talent Protocol fetches the data from (Accounts).
  • Some Data Issuers can also be Accounts (e.g., GitHub), while others are not (e.g., Base).
  • Some Accounts can provide multiple data issuers (ex.: wallet address)
  • A single Data Issuer can provide multiple Data Points.

Examples:​

  • GitHub is both an Account (where we get the data from technically) and the Data Issuer (entity that we trust to issue reputation data to a subject).
  • Base is a Data Issuer, with multiple Data Points (number of transactions, smart contracts deployed, ...), but it's not an Account. The account in this case is the wallet address.
