Talent Protocol is building a decentralized, verifiable onchain reputation system, making professional credibility transparent, accessible, and rewarding for talent and recruiters alike.
Talent Protocol is an open, onchain ecosystem that aims to bring professional reputation into a transparent, verifiable space, helping talent stand out in a crowded and often inefficient job market. With job searches growing increasingly stressful, many candidates face lengthy application processes, and qualified individuals frequently go unnoticed. Talent Protocol addresses these challenges by aggregating verifiable reputation data into a single onchain identity, making it easier for recruiters to recognize true talent.
At its core, Talent Protocol combines ecosystem apps, a hybrid data system, and the $TALENT token to create a streamlined reputation system. Its Talent Passport app and other 3rd-party applications gather trustworthy, verified data about users’ skills and achievements, while the protocol’s smart contracts and Talent API allow seamless, reliable access to this information.
Talent Protocol’s vision is to make professional reputations both visible and verifiable, so that anyone—whether in tech, finance, or creative industries—can easily identify, support, and reward talent. By putting reputation data onchain, Talent Protocol offers a more efficient alternative to traditional resumes and fragmented online profiles, with open, interoperable data that enhances credibility and reduces reliance on lengthy hiring steps. Talent Protocol’s Talent Score will be a badge in our first product Super Accounts,native smart accounts with account abstraction features. This will allow users to showcase their professional reputation and contributions.
Talent Protocol was founded in 2021 to address the challenge of talent recognition in a fragmented digital landscape. Over the last 3 years, Talent Protocols has steadily innovated to achieve its current position. Today, over 1M Talent Passports were minted. Talent Protocol first aimed to create a collaborative ecosystem where users could support emerging talent through onchain career tokens.
The platform's journey began with Talent Tokens, which enabled users to tokenize their careers and allow others to invest directly in their growth. As it progressed, Talent Protocol introduced the Talent Playground app, a tool for users to showcase their skills and achievements, and later, Talent Protocol V2, which featured the Talent Passport. This passport consolidates scattered data, such as accomplishments, contributions, and endorsements, to create a real-time, reliable, and comprehensive view of a person's professional reputation.
Talent Protocol is reshaping professional reputation by making data open, verifiable, and interoperable. The new $TALENT token incentivizes contributions, positioning Talent Protocol as a key player in decentralized talent management and enabling users to seamlessly build and share their professional reputations across Web3.
The $TALENT token launch is the next step to building a decentralized, verifiable professional reputation system. With over 1 million Talent Passports issued and integration with major platforms like World ID and Basenames, $TALENT aims to align incentives for a reliable ecosystem where reputation data is accessible and trusted.
The total supply of $TALENT is fixed at 600 million tokens. The distribution is designed to balance ecosystem growth with rewards for early contributors.
The $TALENT token has three primary uses:
Through these utilities, $TALENT supports a transparent, accountable reputation system, reinforcing Talent Protocol's mission to improve talent recognition across Web3.
Talent Protocol transforms how professional reputation is recognized and rewarded, offering a transparent, verifiable onchain system that fills the gaps left by traditional, fragmented platforms. By aggregating achievements and reputation data into a single, accessible Talent Passport, Talent Protocol makes it easier for recruiters and communities to identify and support high-quality talent.
The launch of the $TALENT token brings this vision to life, aligning incentives across a growing ecosystem and fostering collaboration between developers, organizations, and talent. As Talent Protocol grows, it is positioned to lead the shift toward a decentralized, interoperable, and equitable talent network, setting a new standard for professional reputation in Web3 and beyond.
