Who’s building tokenized LinkedIn?

Onchain credentials, proof of employment, earn tokens for job referrals, etc.

Sounds like a great idea in theory, but why would people switch from LinkedIn for something that may not have many benefits for the individual user? And by extension, how do you get to a network effect?

I don’t say there are no benefits, but I think it would be hard to convince potential users that those benefits are more than marginal. And few people would bother to switch from something that kind of works to something new for ‘almost the same, but a little better’.

I think there are inherent benefits if each credential is verified by the institution and LinkedIn itself

On of the reasons I don’t trust LinkedIn is because literally anyone can put anything without consequence
