Anyone who verifies email domain using Icebreaker automatically gets a Verified: domain EAS credential

Once you have a verified credential, you can attest to anyone else having worked there using the UI. 

It will then generate another verified attestation and equip it to their profile, with a note in the context field tracing the origin back to you (as opposed to email verification).

There will be a "Dispute Company" flow in the future that will allow for downvoting untruthful attestations. Sort of like a very very slow version of blockchain consensus

@bayardo.eth it’s so new that I haven’t had time to add it to the non-icebreaker attestation pages yet

 (ie, it should be possible for me to attest to your farcaster or LinkedIn profile using the same logic, just a different wallet address)

Otherwise I would give you both Google and coinbase attestations now

All this will be doable by cast action in the future too

Yup, great questions!

Since attestations support refUIDs, we can let you add context to prior attestations through additional attestations. 

So in the future, after you attest "worked directly with" someone, imagine we will prompt you to indicate the company where you worked with them. 

And when you verify someone's company, there will be an option to select "they currently work here". 

Maybe in the future you could attest to their role or other things directly from Icebreaker. Technically, there's nothing that prevents you from doing this now using EAS, since you can sign arbitrary statements referencing the attestations you've made thru Icebreaker.

The usefulness is to then expose this data so it's easy to ask things like:

- Who previously worked at Coinbase from 2015-2020 and where do they work now? 

or

- Who did Dan work with while he was at Coinbase?

If you have any ideas for initial use cases you'd like to be solved, let me know!

@web3pm I think this is a good start. Let's assume I attest with my Coinbase email and then I start attesting people to Coinbase. How useful is that data? When somebody has Coinbase attestation, does it mean they worked there? do they still work there? are they a full-time employee? were they a contractor? were they an intern, a partner vendor? Does it simply represent affiliation with the company? What are the use cases that this attestation would be helpful when it is this broad by definition?
