The Optimism Show

Pedro Oliveira is the Co-Founder of Talent Protocol. The protocol works with trusted data sources - like GitHub, Coinbase or LinkedIn - to bring reputation onchain as verifiable credentials and as a reputation score.

With data from 1M+ builders already indexed, Talent Protocol is being adopted as the industry standard by top players like Base, and within 3 months of launch 25+ apps have integrated the Talent API, reflecting growing interest from recruiters, job platforms, and developers.

The $TALENT token encourages all participants to continuously improve the data that powers the protocol, making sure that finding and rewarding top talent gets easier as we scale.
