AccoladesSoulbound Tokens
Proof-of-Skill You Can Trust
Accolades are tokenized recognitions that represent your skills.
Accolades are Soul Bound Tokens (non-transferable NFTs or SFTs) exclusively owned by you. Combine your Accolades to showcase your skill stacks that uniquely represent your value. Each Accolade is mapped to the World Economic Forum Global Skills Taxonomy and Education 4.0 Taxonomy.
What Are Soulbound Tokens (SBTs)?
Soulbound Tokens are non-transferable digital credentials stored on the blockchain. Each SBT is uniquely linked to your identity and cannot be traded, ensuring the authenticity and permanence of your skill achievements.
Why Blockchain?
The blockchain guarantees that every Skill Accolade is tamper-proof, transparent, and publicly verifiable. We mint each accolade on the Polygon network and store its metadata on IPFS, making your credentials immutable and independently verifiable.
Designed for the Future of Work
Skill Accolades align with globally respected frameworks:
- World Economic Forum’s Global Skills Taxonomy: Our SBTs capture high-demand cognitive, interpersonal, and self-management skills.
- Education 4.0 Taxonomy: We support flexible, competency-based learning and assessment through real-time digital interaction.
Accolades as Verifiable Credentials
Each Skill Accolade is anchored as a Verifiable Credential (VC) using W3C standards. While the full credential remains private, a signed reference — such as an IPFS CID or hashed payload — is stored on-chain.
This ensures your accolade is:
- Authentic: Cryptographically signed by the issuing authority
- Private: Details are controlled by you, not publicly exposed
- Verifiable: Third parties can independently confirm its integrity and origin without accessing the full content
Accolade Design Principles
- Earned through interaction, not completion. Accolades are awarded based on performance in AI collaborations or subject-specific challenges.
- Multi-dimensional assessment. Skills are evaluated across behavioral traits like curiosity, clarity, and empathy.
- Immutable and verifiable. Your SBTs live forever on-chain as part of your public skill record.
