what's Talent Protocol?
Talent Protocol is a blockchain-based platform designed to build and verify onchain reputation for creators and builders in the crypto ecosystem. It enables users to create Talent Passports, which are digital profiles aggregating verifiable data from over 40 integrations, such as contributions to projects, social activity, and achievements. The protocol uses these passports to facilitate reputation scoring, helping projects identify and reward top talent through mechanisms like Builder Rewards and community incentives. The native token, TALENT, powers the ecosystem by incentivizing the creation and curation of high-quality reputation data. Users can mint onchain passports on Base, boosting their Builder Score and unlocking perks. The protocol emphasizes long-term engagement, with features like airdrops and community rounds to distribute tokens, fostering a network where reputation is portable, verifiable, and integral to web3 participation.
