Decentralinked

We are building a decentralized linkedin. Unlike other attempts at decentralized professional networking we believe it is split key components and let them function independently. The components Chat, Search, Reputation, and Payments will function fully without any other.

Project Description

The Problem: Decentralized communication networks suffer from spam and lack of discoverability. Centralized platforms can easily moderate spammers with message content inspection and global statistics but the power is typically also used for monetization that is against the users interests.

The Solution: Client side verifiable and configurable spam filter logic Public servers for practical convenience of metadata aggregation Privacy preserving decentralized connection request rate limiting Portable reputation using onchain activity and off chain attestations Federated profile “search engines” make users discoverable and assist in metadata aggregation for spam protection. Embedded wallets for good UX without extra manual signing steps
Focus on use cases where public profiles and public reputation are natural for the user such as professional networking of freelancer marketplaces.

How it's Made

Users can find each other with search engines that aggregate the metadata stored on IPFS. Each chat must start with a connection request and a purpose. Each user configures their client to automatically categorize and respond to connection requests based on the users participation in public connection request count announcements, on chain history and off chain attestations by different onboarding entities.

-XMTP for end to end encrypted communication. -On chain reputation data sourced via Graph Protocol to get GitCoin and TalentLayer -Mask Network / next.id for profile aggregation -Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) for off chain verifiable portable reputation. -IPFS for permissionless metadata sharing -Web3.storage for profile data pinning and real time IPFS retrieval via their gateway

  • an Embedded wallet minimizes the user interactions for signatures
