_This FAQ was originally posted on our discord,_ [_come join us!_](https://discord.gg/2FmR2mJubg)

What is Mazury?
---------------

Mazury is an effort for building decentralized professional reputation. Today recruiting is broken in many ways — ex-faang is considered the strongest signal, people in developing countries lack access to the best remote positions & startup founders lack tools for connecting with the talent

We believe that web3, blockchains & decentralized identities can change that

Right now we are building a platform that allows for permissionless referrals & connecting your web2 professional reputation to your eth address

What is happening on December 1st?
----------------------------------

We are soft launching the first iteration of the platform! Soft = it's publicly open to use, everybody can create their profiles, refer their friends, collect badges & display some curated lists (like lecrypto fellowship founders)

… but there is still a lot of work to do for Mazury to be a killer product so we are easy on pumping it to the moon :)

Selected partners ([Genie](https://twitter.com/genie_xyz), [Angle](https://twitter.com/AngleProtocol), [Abacus](https://twitter.com/abacus_wtf)) have preliminary access to the _search_ feature, with which they can scout, discover & recruit talent (this maybe you 👀 anon)

Why should I use Mazury on the launch?
--------------------------------------

So you can start building your professional track record & get some welcome NFTs for being an og supporter 🙂 In the platform you can:

*   refer your best friends in the refer tab
    
*   display all available badges in profile tab
    
*   collect badges for professional achievements
    
*   stalk other people in the professional metaverse 🌊
    

Is there a token? Will there be one?
------------------------------------

There is no Mazury token now. Even if you see some jokes / rumors, Mazury will not have a token in a close future. If you read this message, Mazury still has no token.

However, if the project is successful in the future & there is a good use case for governance/utility within the platform, MazuryDAO can 100% be a thing. Just not now.

What network is used by Mazury?
-------------------------------

At launch, Mazury will not post any transactions on chain. You just need an evm compatible wallet like metamask or rainbow

In close future, we want to:

*   allow users to mint their badges as NFTs on an evm chain of their choice
    
*   move referrals on chain (for which polygon or starkex are considered)
    

Who is working on Mazury? Do you hire?
--------------------------------------

Right now full time it's just me, [wojtek](https://twitter.com/wojtekwtf) 🙂 sometimes I write as we because

*   there is more people involved in the general effort (eg. [mazury intern](https://twitter.com/mazuryintern) on twitter)
    
*   the team will hopefully grow soon
    

🤝 starting 2022 I will be hiring a designer & a full stack engineer (or 2). Let me know if you want to get engaged! Part-time contributors welcome!
