@ErinOCon please provide update for my project proposal.
Hi @rohit-goswami, I am happy to confirm that this grant has been approved. We will follow up by email to confirm payment details.
1. What is your project? (max 100 words)
In the web3 space, the supply and demand of skilled people are hugely imbalanced. Furthermore, web3 companies still hire based on resumes in the traditional manner. I think this is a great time to change how we hire and get hired.
blankSpace is building a fully decentralized society (DeSoc) of professionals which would help people learn, grow, and verify their skills on the blockchain using SBTs (soul-bound tokens). Without having to rely on third-party services, organizations can find the right candidate at the right time. Our goal is to revitalize the entire professional networking ecosystem.
2. Project links
Link to Github repo: https://github.com/rohit-goswami/blankspace Link to demo or website, if applicable: https://blankspace-alpha.on.fleek.co/#/
3. How is IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology used in this project? (max 100 words)
In our Proof-Of-Skill arena, organizations can host skills-based tests, and people can attempt those to earn a Proof-Of-Skill token (soul-bound token). The metadata of tests is stored on IPFS via web3.storage leveraging IPFS/Filecoin technology. Submissions from users are stored in IPFS. Images and metadata for Proof of Skill, Proof of Membership, and Proof of Partnership tokens are also stored in IPFS using web3.storage. For token gating, we are going to use the Lit Protocol and IPFS.
4. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective? (max 200 words)
In our roadmap, we plan to accomplish a few milestones within a year. On our website, you can view the entire roadmap. This grant will help us complete our second milestone, a decentralized marketplace where everyone can showcase their profiles. This pool of skilled individuals will enable companies to hire talented employees.
Our plan:
5. Do you agree to share grant reports upon request, including a final grant report at the end of the three month period?
Yes
6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?
Yes
