The horizon of Web3 is about to expand exponentially. After years of using token balances as identity, we finally have the tools to take crypto networks to the next level. Imagine a new digital landscape where your humanity, creativity, trustworthiness, and participation can be verified while preserving your privacy.

<aside> ⚡ Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is:

To make reputation more interoperable and useful for creators and platforms to unlock new economic primitives around identity in web3.

• Proving Humanity: Create algorithms that sift through blockchain data to affirm the human essence behind the codes and numbers. • Capturing Creativity: Can a wallet's history tell a story of creativity? You'll invent ways to identify and celebrate the ingenuity within blockchain events. • Assessing Trustworthiness: Trust is paramount in the digital world. Craft tools that pinpoint trust-building events, adding a new dimension to online reputations. • Highlighting Participation in Valuable Endeavours: Help build the future by recognizing participation in socially valuable projects.

The design space:

As crypto matures into a new, decentralized and bottom-up form of institutional framework, a key ingredient emerges as a necessity: Identity.

We are entering a new phase of sustainable value creation where we will have to progressively build our identity—and creative reputation—digitally in order to access exposure to financial upsides. From Verifiable Credentials and SoulBound Tokens, to algorithmic identity proxies, quests and contests, the new game is about earning by adding long term value in a gamified and creative way. Signals of our creative energy and value will be the version of our identity online that will power our new economy.

🚀 Innovate and Influence: Your solutions will be at the forefront of reshaping the way we perceive identity on the web.

🚀 Connect and Collaborate: Join a community of like-minded innovators, all working together to redefine digital interaction!

🚀 Win and Grow: Prizes, recognition, and opportunities await those who dare to dream and create.
