            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi! This is the first development blog for my latest project, the Proof of Skill Protocol. The protocol acts as a way for users to find and verify talent. Similar to how the Proof of Attendance Protocol has created a way for users to earn NFTs showcasing their attendance at an event, POSP will allow users to earn NFTs showcasing their skills and experience. There are plans for the future for an education platform where users will be able to gain new skills and showcase this growth as well. I would also like to integrate with job boards to allow users of those services to showcase their skills in a verifiable way, ideally shortening the job hunt and hiring processes.</p><p>The initial smart contracts have been written but lack unit tests and I’m currently building the project’s landing page. Other features such as an internal job board, a complete user onboarding process, etc. can be expected to follow soon after. I estimate this will take me one week to complete the landing page and three to four weeks to complete the other mentioned features. I’m no designer, so don’t expect the most beautiful UI ever. That being said, if you are a designer, feel free to DM me!</p><p>I’ve done my best to establish some sort of social media presence for the project. If you’re interested in the project and would like to show support you can follow it on Twitter <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://twitter.com/posp_so">@posp_so</a>. Word of mouth is very important at this stage of the project, so even if you have nothing to contribute directly, you can still support the protocol by telling your friends about it.</p><p>The current active repositories can be found on GitHub <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://github.com/posp-so">@posp-so</a>. If you use <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://radicle.xyz">Radicle</a>, you can find the projects there by searching for the following project IDs:</p><p>rad:git:hnrkc6wb545tddi74medgueda99f3ghkbsqoo - POSP website repository</p><p>rad:git:hnrkxo8isaxe5dujz99a4yeuc7sj9ftmwzx3o - POSP smart contracts repository</p><p>If you would like to contribute to either development or design tasks, all current tasks (i.e things I’ve thought of doing already) can be found here:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://heyztb.notion.site/82c2944fec1c4af8974d01c97aac2a4c?v=60ec65251439418e8bc07a624cb77d25">https://heyztb.notion.site/82c2944fec1c4af8974d01c97aac2a4c?v=60ec65251439418e8bc07a624cb77d25</a></p><p>If you have an idea and you don’t see it on the Roadmap, feel free to reach out to me. I’m open to contributors of all skill levels. Experience in whatever capacity you will be contributing is of course a plus, but I value your desire to build cool things much more. If you are just starting your journey in Web3, I can provide resources and a bit of guidance.</p><p>To be clear, contributing is a volunteer effort at this time. I am making no money from this project as of this writing, and I don’t expect it to generate any type of revenue for at least a year or longer. However, your efforts will not go unnoticed.</p><p>I’ll try to post one of these whenever there are substantial updates. This will probably mean a lower frequency of posts until things start to pick up in terms of contributors and/or attention to the project.</p><p>Thank you for your time, and again please share the project with your friends if you find it interesting. As well, my Twitter DMs are always open if you wish to contribute and would like to coordinate with me.</p>]]></content:encoded>
