It has been 13 years since the birth of Bitcoin, a process that has enriched the crypto field and laid a solid foundation for the development of crypto. There are a large number of token trading users, technical indicator analysts, token economic analysts, NFT creators, article creators, DAO leaders, Web3 evangelists, and many more in the crypto space. They are all active users of the entire crypto space, contributing their respective strengths to the advancement of crypto while forming a more solid crypto consensus circle.

A credential as an economic term can be expressed in the crypto domain as a proof of a user's participation in a certain job. It can be an on-chain proof of work or an off-chain proof of work.

The current credential is independent and there is no direct link between the credentials of each project. It is peer-to-peer.

Chain interaction is a favorite way for a project in the early stages to test its own project carrying capacity while getting a nice piece of user data. There are many ways of interaction, such as Swap\Lp\Lend\Borrow\Stake, and so on. The corresponding thresholds are also set, such as the number of transactions, amount of transactions, wallet address creation time, etc.

• Swap:Buy and sell a certain token. The user holds A tokens and swaps A tokens to get B tokens (also can be purchase nft).

• Lp: Pledge a token or pair two tokens to create a liquidity pool.

• Lend\borrow: Pledge a token to gain the ability to borrow and lend other tokens.

• NFT/poap: Buy or mint NFT/poap issued by the project owner.(bayc\mayc)

• Donate:Donate to certain projects using gitcoin \ clr.fund.

• Vote:Vote on proposals launched by project parties in snapshot.

• Register domain names:Register encrypted domain names (ENS \ DAS \ tns \ nomspace \ unstoppable) using the tools of the domain name project parties

• Article education:Use mirror to publish on-chain articles and the ability to cast articles as nft .

  All of the above will be used as retroactive proof of the project side's token airdrop or reward.

The off-chain proof of work does not use the on-chain data, and the way is simpler compared to the on-chain operation.

• Email subscription:Enter your email number to subscribe to the project party's URL. (icp \ ont)

• Twitter task: generally is to follow, retweet, tag users, leave address. (Most of this way is fraudulent, just to win the attention of users, if there is a real reward, it is all a very small part. For example, the recent task released by nation3dao on Twitter, only need to leave ens and retweet, you can get nation token, the participating users get a very generous reward)

• Discord contribution: general base: the number of user statements, special character names, dis level. Core base: core contributors, community brains (brightid \ ens \ gearbox, etc.)

All of these credential acquisition methods are very common in the crypto space. Perhaps more new ways of rewarding credential authentication will emerge in the future, which is more like a game of human nature. No matter how fine the rules are set, there will always be people who want to take advantage of them and make profits.

• There are speculators in most projects moving forward (which is unavoidable), and they tend to circumvent existing rules as much as possible, using scripts or other means such as bots to act as real users, often resulting in a low quality and motivation of participating users.

• The sources are too widespread for users to accurately identify the authenticity of the project, and the process can have the potential for the project to defraud users and users to defraud users.

In order to prevent the possibility of fraud, some project owners use brightid, anti-witch identity verification, degenscore, etc. to prevent the proliferation of speculators as much as possible. For example, gitcoin \ clr.fund \ rabbithole \ Orange uses these tools.

There are many pioneers in the crypto space, so here I will just briefly describe the projects I have experienced.

• RabbitHole| is dedicated to the web3 ecosystem to build on-chain credentials based on skill tasks. Through the web3 guide, crypto users learn how to use and contribute to decentralized applications while earning tokens based on their activity on the chain. Skills tasks open to the public that demonstrate users' mastery of core skills and protocols. while finding the best users for other communities or protocols. Thanks to the direct use of RabbitHole incentive protocols, projects are guaranteed access on their network, benefit from cheaper acquisition costs, and are able to track on-chain results.

The rabbithole now mainly focuses on skill tasks in the popular area of encryption DAO\NFT\DEFI, and for each direction of the mainstream products to learn, such as mirror, gnosissafe, Optimism, ens, aave, uni and a series of products. And the completion of the skill task will be used as a credential for participation in the next phase of the product. The scope of use of the credentials is not set for now, but the whole is dedicated to the whole crypto ecosystem (web3).

• Orange| builds protocols for Web3 that are de-trusted, decentralized and have a portable reputation. Reputation System Infrastructure Orange Protocol passes on-chain and off-chain data from different blockchains, DeFi protocols, NFT, DAO and Web 2 social media authentication data, including recent block height smart contracts and user behavior data or that is in a historical period. Package and cast all on-chain and off-chain data on top of nft and upgrade the corresponding nft data credentials according to the increase of user information.

Orange is a reputation and trust casting protocol that aggregates data and web3 reputation models and generates comprehensive reputation proof in the form of verifiable certificates and nft, designed around access, engagement, contribution, reputation, impact and credibility, and continuously segmenting certificate criteria in different areas such as user segmentation for defi, dao-based reputation governance voting and content recommendation socialfi. It looks more like a reputation-based infrastructure project, replacing the traditional and cumbersome KYC. if Orange can achieve a truly decentralized identity, rather than blocking other users because of national policies (a process that can be difficult and sometimes becomes a tool for one country to sanction others), then it should come closer to the goal of decentralization.

Nowadays, rewards systems are assigned based on the depth of participation of the user. Each project is independent and not connected to each other, so let's say I have deep participation in project a and get a reward for it. If I want to participate in project b, then I need to start all over again, and this process will hit deep users with (speculator) bots, which will discourage deep users from participating. If a consensus circle of credentials can be formed in the crypto community, where all project parties share the role of credentials, then project parties will view credential holders as high quality active crypto users.

The recognition of a credential requires the support of many contributors in order for it to continue to be useful, as it serves both as proof of previous participation and as a doorstop for participation in later work. It's more like a resume for us, it's a status symbol to be recognized throughout the crypto space.

The development of Web3 ecosystem can be built with credentials as the underlying layer to better match users and project parties.

In thinking about credential acquisition, I try to incorporate as much as possible the projects I have worked on, a process that is not comprehensive and only touches on small parts of the whole system. The power of one person is too small, and this needs to bring together more friends with consensus to participate in the construction in order to successfully build a tall building.

This article belongs entirely to personal thinking about credentials and what I saw on the way to learning, some places will involve the relevant project parties, I hope it will not cause disturbance. At the same time, I welcome ideas from friends to provide more and more detailed insights, thank you very much!
