De-Link

Inspiration

One of the promising aspects of Blockchain Technology is to bring "Trust" to the information across various information/data points. In the space of professional networks, even though sites like Linked-In help with improving authenticity of the information, there is still huge scope for improvement. At the same time, organizations spend billions of dollars to verify different data points throughout various interactions with their employees, customers and other organizations. If we can bring some part of this verified information on to public blockchain as appropriate, it will have a significant impact.

What it does

Validates credentials provided, stores them on public blockchain. Provides ability to store/view documents on IPFS by saving the links on chain.

How we built it

Built using Ethereum, ChainLink, Java Script, React, Moralis, Hardhat and IPFS

Challenges we ran into

Building full-stack Dapp for the first time using ChainLink by learning relevant technologies has been challenging.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Pleased to see this first version working end-end using ChainLink.

What we learned

Many things around Web3.0 tech stack.

What's next for De-Link

Many things!! First, completing Milestone #3 as mentioned in read-me. After that, will have to incorporate other verifiable credential technologies being developed by Microsoft to prototype more features. Once these are done, will have to leverage ZKP to introduce privacy aspects into this.
