Talent Protocol is a Web3 platform designed to transform professional reputation through on-chain data, allowing individuals to showcase skills, achievements, and contributions in a fully verifiable way. With its flagship product, the Talent Passport, users can aggregate off-chain and on-chain credentials, enhancing career visibility and opening up new growth opportunities.
At the heart of the platform is the Builder Score — a metric derived from verified reputation data collected from over 50 integrations, including platforms like GitHub, Farcaster, and Coinbase. This score acts as a universal marker of trust and skill. As their score grows, builders can unlock rewards, perks, and access to exclusive partnerships. Developers and platforms can also integrate Talent’s API to incorporate reputation data into their own services.
Launched in 2021 and based in Lisbon and New York, Talent Protocol was co-founded by Pedro Oliveira, Filipe Macedo, and others during a mission-driven sabbatical. Their goal was to democratize career-building in the digital era by offering a decentralized alternative to traditional resumes. One of their early innovations was the creation of Talent Tokens, which allow individuals to give supporters a stake in their professional journey.
Today, more than one million Talent Passports have been issued. The platform indexes over 11 million accounts and tracks more than 100 data points across 60+ integrated tools and platforms. It currently supports over 70,000 token holders. Talent Protocol has raised more than $2.8 million in total funding, backed by notable investors from the Web3 and venture capital space.
