Research involving 1,000 diverse web3 employers and job-seekers proves the importance of having a verified track record.

Hint: Its not about your college degree but the people youve worked with.

Our team of researchers have crunched the numbers to explain why you cant land that dream job in crypto: Your Web3 Reputation, aka the people youve worked with, often overshadowed by industry hype, turns out to be most important.

We surveyed web3 freelancers and employers across various levels about the challanges they face in finding clients and employees.

During the bull market, trust and proper background checks are often overlooked, only to grow into a much more complex issue when the market cools down. Previous research shows that 4 out of 10 market participants in crypto have been involved in a rug directly or passively. This takes into account both, being a team member of a project that ultimately deviates and goes rogue, or being personally invlvoled in stealing the funds.

Thats like living in a neighbourhood where almost half of the residents are involved in car theft.

Dont be surprised to hear that employers are cautious. In most job cases its not about talent discovery but rather verification: can I trust this person is a full-stack developer? LinkedIn CVs and Github repositories can be easily altered. In reality, a significant number of developers often repurpose code from agencies, where theyve worked with other developers, to present it as a testament to their own accomplishments.

What all problems have in common? On-chain verification. In crypto, theres no user-friendly way to validate on-chain experience like smart contracts youve deployed, wallet transactions and people youve worked with a problem Web3me has already solved.

Web3me is a Dynamic NFT identity tool that helps you prove anything on-chain. Imagine Linktree, but with web3 stats.

After using first-principles thinking to break down the 3 main problems we immediately stumble upon a pattern here. Your wallet history a.k.a, transactions, signatures and smart contracts, when verified, can replace traditional CVs and serve as proof of experience for web3.

Web3me proposes a new way for proof of work. Signed recommendations.

The idea is that clients/employers can sign a recommendation that is automatically displayed on your Web3me profile. Verified by their wallet address. Your Web3me profile can be added in your bio just like Linktree but with more than just socials and content. You can verify and display the people youve worked with, transactions, smart contracts and much more. ~ Founder of Web3me @luboweb3

..and much more

Your Web3me is a Dynamic Soulbound NFT minted in your wallet on Polygon. We cover the gas fees for you.

Every piece of information you add is a property of this NFT. It can integrated as login option into any dapp. Furthermore your profile is updated based on the activity of the wallet(s) you connect. No manual changes for your crypto portfolio needed.

We use blockchain technology to provide users with:

Getting exposure on your CV should be as easy as redirecting page views to your Linktree...This is where @Web3meID steps in. ~ @christieweb3

Were not building another job platform, but rather an individualised profile that helps users prove their true worth to their audiences. A profile that you can integrate into Dapps and use it as link in your X bio. The main problem with web3 identity tools is that they offer creator features that are undistinguishable from what Linktree already pioneered in the market.

Its easy to put a brand name in your X bio and add the handle on your Linktree or Sidexyz. However employers dont neccasarily care only about your current position in comparisson to what youve done in the past and what others youve worked with might have to say about you. In fact, you can easily add false information in your Sidexyz or Linktree because all you do is paste links. Theres no backbone that verifies whether this information correlates with your previous claim.

For example: You cant copy paste a smart contract from Etherscan and add it in your Web3me. Unless its from a wallet that you have already connected and proven ownership of.

The goal is simple. Build a web3 identity profile that is impossible to alter with false information by the author.

Besides allowing you to prove your entire wallet history. Web3me helps creators showcase their work in their own unique way. In the upcoming beta version we will release a series new features like analytics and web3-specific creator tooling that are designed to help you monetise your existing audience.

Our mission is to serve the underserved. The reason why its so hard to land a job in crypto is verification and trust. Traditional CVs are go-to-destination for scammers and can be easily altered. Over a million people have already worked in crypto and the best they can do today is paste the company name on LinkedIn as proof. Giving the opportunity to employers and job-seekers to sign recommendations with their wallets and additionally verify blockchain experience at scale will bring immense value to the entire ecosystem. We go as far to believe that your Web3me will be the on only identity youll ever need.

The goal of this article is to introduce you to the basic mechanics of Web3me without revealing too much. Everything mentioned in this article is already possible in the current alpha version of the product which only Netizens holders can access.

We plan to launch the public beta with a set of more advanced features in December 2023.

Drop by to say hi. Web3me is being shaped with the feedback of our Netizens community. Join us now.
