🪪Credentials

Credentials are a key component of the Talent Passport.

Credentials are aggregated indicators of professional reputation, provided by various web2 and web3 data points, including GitHub, Coinbase, ETHGlobal, ENS, Worldcoin, and others.

Each user can also choose to mint their Talent Passport onchain, and issue credentials as onchain attestations. From self-reported resumes to verifiable, portable reputation.

Talent Protocol aggregates third-party data and stores it as verifiable and easy-to-read credentials. Examples: “>1k followers on X”, or “Participated in 5 web3 hackathons”.

Credential Categories

There are 3 categories of credentials (Identity, Activity and Skills), each representing a different type of reputation data:

  1. Identity credentials help separate humans from sybils, bots and fake accounts. The sum of all Identity credentials will only contribute a maximum of 20 points to a user’s Builder Score. For users with an Identity Score of 20 or higher, we will now show a Human Checkmark on their profile.

  2. Activity credentials help identify trusted actors and value-add members, distinguishing them from farmers and users only capturing value. Activity credentials are also capped, but at 40 points maximum.

  3. Skills credentials highlight onchain builders and their specific areas of expertise. This unique layer of reputation is a key feature of Talent Protocol. Skills credentials have no cap, all will count towards your Builder Score.

Each Credential can only belong to 1 category.

Credential Scoring

Talent Passport assigns each credential a number of points. These points are then used to calculate the Builder Score of a user, reflecting their reputation as an onchain builder.
