Identity credentials help separate humans from sybils, bots and fake accounts.

The scoring of ‘Identity’ credentials follows the logic below:

1. Free Social Profiles (3 points): LinkedIn

2. Paid Social Profiles (4 points): Farcaster, Lens, CyberID, ENS, Basename

3. Proof of Humanity (8 points): WorldID, Gitcoin Passport

4. KYC (12 points): Coinbase Verified ID

For users with an Identity Score of 20 or higher, we will now show a Human Checkmark on their profile.

The sum of all Identity credentials will only contribute a maximum of 20 points to a user’s Builder Score.

Example: a user that holds the following 3 Identity credentials: Coinbase Verified ID (12 points), World ID (8 points) and ENS (4 points), will only add a total of 20 points to their Builder Score.

This credential verifies that this user has a verified account on Coinbase, and has completed identity verification (KYC).

Why $TALENT exists?

$TALENT is the utility token for Talent Protocol. The token incentivizes all ecosystem participants - apps, organizations, and individuals - to create and curate verifiable reputation data.

The main benefits we expect to see with $TALENT are:

• Reduced noise: A token can help prevent the system from being overwhelmed by low-quality or irrelevant data that dilute the value of legitimate reputation signals.

• Trustless system: Through token staking and slashing mechanisms, the protocol's data is able to remain accurate and reliable as the network grows, without the need for a central authority.

• Long-term sustainability: A token aligns incentives and redistributes value to all stakeholders, ensuring that those who contribute to the ecosystem are rewarded.

How is $TALENT useful?

Here are the 3 main token use cases we are actively exploring:

Tokenomics

Talent Protocol built and operates the Talent Protocol App, where users can interact with the different protocol primitives, like Credentials and the Builder Score.

Talent Passports are smart professional profiles:

• Verifiable: data comes from trusted third-party sources.

• Portable: access your professional reputation instantly in multiple apps.

• Self-updating: automatically populated by aggregating user data scattered across the web and the blockchain.

• Enriched: an AI-powered profile that enhances and augments existing online data.

Instead of users manually inputting their information, Talent Protocol pulls together fragmented data, such as achievements, contributions, and endorsements, to create a real-time, trustworthy, and comprehensive view of a person’s professional reputation. This approach reduces bias, increases accuracy, and provides a more objective, verifiable profile.

Talent Protocol is a professional reputation ecosystem, that aggregates verifiable user data under one onchain identity.

It’s core components are:

1. Talent Protocol: an hybrid system that indexes, curates and generates reputation data. Includes both offchain and onchain elements, like the Talent API and custom smart contracts, ensuring interoperability while enhancing performance and accessibility.

2. Ecosystem Apps: the primary tools for collecting and showcasing verified reputation data, including 1st-party apps built by the core team like the Talent Passport, and 3rd-party ecosystem apps like Basenames.

3. $TALENT: the utility token for Talent Protocol, designed to incentivize ecosystem participants to create verifiable data and align them with the long-term success of the project.

Problem

In a world of AI-generated noise and inefficient hiring processes, finding meaningful work has never been harder. Job hunting is one of the most stressful events of our lives, and most talent still has to submit hundreds of applications before landing a role.

Our professional reputation is so scattered that recruiters need to look at 5+ different platforms to get enough context about a candidate. Talented candidates often go unnoticed, with most feeling their resumes don’t fully reflect their abilities.

Market

It's clear that current solutions aren't working, but the market keeps growing. The HR market was valued at approximately $25.53 billion in 2023, and expected to grow +10% annually until 2032.

Billions are wasted every year betting on the wrong talent, according to Gallup that reports employee disengagement costs the world $8.8 trillion in lost productivity, equal to 9% of global GDP.

While our immediate focus is on transforming HR for the better, the truth is, Talent Protocol has the potential to revolutionize professional reputation across any industry. From tech to finance to creative sectors, every industry needs a more efficient, transparent way to recognize and reward talent.

Data speaks louder than tools

We believe the answer to this problem is in the data, not the tools. No one needs yet another job board. What’s missing is better reputation data that can help separate average people from great talent, at scale. If we had access to richer reputation data, we could easily:

• Automatically match talent with work or education opportunities, at scale.

• Discover trusted talent much more efficiently.

• Reduce the need for first interviews or background checks.

• And, even look into financial applications, like under-collateralized lending for talent.

Mission

We help the next generation of global builders succeed by bringing their reputation onchain, where data speaks louder than words.

Vision

Make reputation visible online and verifiable onchain, so that anyone can easily find and reward talent.

Why Onchain Reputation?

• Open: All data in the protocol is publicly available for anyone to read and access. No more fragmented data, scattered among countless gated platforms.

• Verifiable: Anyone can confirm the data’s authenticity and source. No more self-reported resumes with inaccurate data.

• Interoperable: The data is compatible with other systems, allowing for smooth integrations.

Talent Protocol & API

At the core, we're building a reputation protocol and a strong data business to index, curate and generate reputation data.

With data from 2M+ builder accounts already indexed, Talent Protocol is quickly being adopted as the industry standard by top players like Base or Etherscan.

Our hybrid offchain/onchain system ensures interoperability while enhancing performance and accessibility:

• Offchain: data integrations, Talent API, shared login Talent API

• Onchain: custom smart contracts and attestations.

Within 3 months of launch, 30+ apps had already integrated the Talent API, reflecting growing interest from recruiters, job platforms, and developers.

Ecosystem Apps

Ecosystem apps are the primary tools for collecting verified reputation data.

They include both:

• 1st-party apps built by the core team, like the Talent Passport,

• and 3rd-party ecosystem apps like Basenames.

The Talent Passport is the smart resume for the new internet: an AI-powered and fully interoperable professional profile. It's connected with 40+ trusted data sources - like GitHub, Coinbase or LinkedIn - to bring reputation onchain as verifiable credentials. Employers, VCs, or industry peers can look at your Builder Score and instantly know what you’ve accomplished.

$TALENT Token

$TALENT is the utility token for Talent Protocol, and a currency for professional reputation data. It's designed to make the protocol's data more accurate and reliable as the network grows.

The token incentivizes all ecosystem participants - apps, organizations, and individuals - to create and curate verifiable reputation data, aligning them with the long-term success of Talent Protocol.

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.

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 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 of a user, reflecting their reputation as an onchain builder.

Talent Protocol aggregates a wide range of reputation data points (), and calculates a dynamic Builder Score that represents a user's reputation as an onchain builder.

The Builder Score is calculated for every holder, and its main goal is to distinguish builders from other types of crypto users.

Apps like Basenames or Etherscan already integrate with the Builder Score to bring more context to their users and to curate the best talent in crypto.

But what does "builder" mean?

Our current definition is that “building” means investing time and effort to add value, therefore an onchain builder is anyone creating shared value onchain.

Talent Protocol is currently prioritizing Base Developers as its core audience, but all types of builders are welcome and encouraged to create a Talent Passport.

How is Builder Score calculated?

Builder Score is simply a sum of all the in a Talent Passport, and their individual scores.

Builder Score doesn’t have a maximum cap, so it’s likely to increase over time, as we add more integrations and possible credentials to the protocol.

Why is Builder Score useful?

Users can leverage their Builder Score within Talent Protocol's growing partner ecosystem, while app developers can integrate the Builder Score to personalize their products, gate access to their communities or curate the best talent in crypto.

Ecosystem apps are also able to create alternative scoring systems, based on the same Credentials and reputation data on Talent Protocol. This means a Talent Passport can have multiple scores, depending on the context in which it’s being displayed.

When a user creates a Talent Passport, we check all and calculate their . We repeat the same global recalculation, for every user, every 14 days. This is a costly computation process that shouldn't be done too frequently.

The Credentials can be updated manually by the user, by clicking on the "Check" button (max 1 check/hour).

There's also a "Refresh" button in the , that refreshes your profile data, but doesn't recalculate the Builder Score.

The "Human Checkmark" is a badge visible on profiles, that helps identify Talent Passports that belong to a real human.

To get Human Checkmark, users must meet the one or more of the following proof-of-humanity credentials in their Talent Passport:

1. : The user must have a verified account on Coinbase and must have completed identity verification (KYC).

2. : The user must have completed the Proof of Personhood verification with Worldcoin.

3. Humanity Score: The user must own a Gitcoin Passport with a score of 15 or higher.

X-API-KEY

The API key is the entry point for the Talent Protocol API. In order to perform requests it needs to be passed on every request.

We use the header X-API-KEY to retrieve the access key and validate your access to our API.

There're two types of API keys:

• read_only: Can only access GET requests

• write: Can access all requests

How to request an API key

You can request one API key by opening a ticket on Discord.

The Talent API allows developers to query Talent Protocol for a wide range of verified reputation data. It can be used to query Talent Passports, Builder Scores, Credentials and more.

The following pages provide an overview of the public API endpoints, how to use them and what they return.

Talent Protocol API will be protected by two rate-limiting processes. Check them below.

API key rate limits

Each API key will have a maximum number of requests per second. We will define this soon.

IP rate limits

Each ip address has a maximum of 25 requests in 10 seconds.

Talent Protocol API will have pagination on endpoints that return sets of data.

How it works

In order to paginate requests API consumers will need to check the pagination field inside each response.

Check the following response example:

{
    passports: [...],
    pagination: {
        total: 100,
        current_page: 1,
        last_page: 10
    }
}

In order to fetch the next page a new request will need to be performed with the page query param being passed as the current_page + 1.

https://api.talentprotocol.com/api/v1/passports?id=<id>&page=<current_page + 1>

You will reach the last page when the current_page is equal to the last_page.

{
    passports: [...],
    pagination: {
        total: 1000,
        current_page: 10,
        last_page: 10,
    }
}

• Read more on Mint your Passport Onchain

First Mint

When you mint your Talent Passport, it creates an onchain snapshot of your Builder Score and Credentials. This not only enhances Talent Protocol’s interoperability but also solidifies your reputation in a verifiable, decentralized way.

• Builder Score: stored in a custom smart contract.

• Credentials: recorded via an EAS attestation (coming soon).

Minting involves standard gas fees plus a 0.001 ETH fee. This upfront cost signals your commitment to maintaining a trusted, professional reputation onchain, increasing your Builder Score by 3 points.

Keeping Your Data Updated

To ensure your onchain snapshot reflects the latest updates to your Builder Score on the Talent Passport App, you’ll need to periodically update it onchain.

As an alternative, the Talent API will always provide the must up to date Builder Score and Credentials.

Snapshot Validity

We recommend that your onchain snapshot be refreshed every 3 months. Builder Scores older than that might be considered outdated by ecosystem apps, which is why we encourage users to mint a new snapshot at least quarterly.

Why a Hybrid Storage Model?

Talent Protocol combines both onchain and offchain data storage.

• Onchain: For decentralization and interoperability.

• Offchain: For frequent updates and faster performance.

This hybrid approach balances security with efficiency, allowing apps to utilize your data without the limitations of blockspace while still preserving decentralization.

Talent Protocol is an open ecosystem where anyone can contribute and make a meaningful impact.

How to contribute?

• Develop new products using Talent Protocol. Explore new ideas, or enhance existing projects using protocol's reputation data.

• Join forces with a community that supports builders.

• Spread the word about Talent Protocol and help us grow. Every mention, post, or share brings us closer to realizing our vision.

Major Concepts to Explore

• Recruiting: Create an app that let’s you filter builders based on credentials

• Governance: Develop a governance system where members with Builder Score > “X” or holders of certain credentials, can have more voting power

• Reputation-Based Loans: Create systems where reputation unlocks financial opportunities

• Fair Rewards Distribution: Create a token distribution app that let’s projects give rewards filtering by Builder Score and Credentials

• Custom Social Feeds: Develop a personalized feeds that highlight the achievements and activities of builders

• Enhanced UX/UI: Create a great UI/UX to search for the 700K+ builders on Talent Protocol. (Ex: All Builders from Farcaster with > 100 followers that specialize on ZkSync)

• Builder Score: Come up with any creative use case for the Builder Score

Why did my Builder Score decrease?

Your Builder Score may fluctuate due to several factors:

1. Updates to the Scoring System: The Talent Protocol team frequently refines the scoring system and introduces new credentials, which can impact your Builder Score.
