Soulbound Tokens are a type of token that provides a digital reflection of a person's identity, qualifications, and affiliations in a way that cannot be transferred or exchanged. These tokens are permanently attached to their owner, marking a significant departure from the conventional tokens or NFTs that can be bought, sold, or traded. As a result, they offer a unique and immutable record of an individual's achievements, abilities, and experiences.
Professionals participating in our training programs, hackathons, developer challenges, and crowd tasks earn Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) as undeniable evidence of their expertise and professional milestones. This approach makes it easier for employers to check qualifications while allowing professionals to display their skills and achievements transparently and confidently.
