Skyllz – Acquire and Validate your Skills on Blockchain
Skyllz – Acquire and Validate your Skills on Blockchain
The Skyllz platform intends to combine those two parts of gig economy education/employment ecosystem and create an integrated infrastructure where people are guided through the process, starting from them acquiring skills and knowledge through educational programs, and finishing with them being employed in a process, similar to that of Upwork. All the users’ career trajectories are recorded on the platform in the form of metrics, measuring users’ performance, called “Proof-of-Skill.” The platform paradigm includes the following cornerstones:
“Skills Acquisition” – learning various skills through courses, trainings, etc.
“Skills Contextualization,” which basically means figuring out the ways of applying new skills and knowledge. For example, I can get a degree in marketing, and I can apply this knowledge in many different ways: from developing a marketing strategy for a company to writing promotional slogans or designing logos. In fact, I may combine various courses in a way that would boost my performance in doing my particular thing. Like, I can choose a certain central skill, defining my market value as a professional, and then put layer after layer of knowledge and additional skills around this core, improving it.
“Skills Allocation” Here the platform emphasizes the importance of the direct connection between learning and immediate practical application of newly acquired skills. Architecturally it’s realized through practical challenges offered to the students by the companies, using the platform to find potential talents. The challenges, if successfully solved, allow the students to gain qualification points that, in turn, define their overall rating in the system.Additionally, such challenges can bring actual monetary rewards.
Skyllz platform is based on the model of another successful project Workkola made by the same team, adding a layer of blockchain tech to it. The Workkola platform already has about 17,000 students and 1,500 companies working on it. The Skyllz key principles came from Workkola’s paradigm as well. The main idea is that platform user builds his or her personal brand, confirmed by the objective metrics. The user performance metrics are gathered during his (her) learning process. Additionally, the platform has a matching algorithm, allowing the users to find tasks they are the most qualified to do, based on the set of their skills and previous performance. Equally, recruiters and companies can use those algorithms to find people most qualified for certain tasks.
Another Skyllz platform key principle is called “The Distribution of Power Rule.” It means that the platform doesn’t have a central authority. It’s controlled by its users. This approach applies even to the strategic decisions, like implementing new platform functionality. Also, this principle implies that user skills’ evaluation is done based on the majority vote of multiple “Raters.” Raters, in turn, stake their own “Proof-of-Skill” and reputation on their votes. In a sense, that if their vote is different from the majority vote, they lose reputation points. Since Raters don’t know the vote results in advance (Or how any other of the Raters voted) they are motivated to base their decision on a thorough analysis of the subject. (A proposed solution for the task for example) This principle of Raters assessing user’s performance without knowing what other Raters think is also what defines yet another principle of the platform “The Unbiased Rule.” It means that in such setup the individual decisions cannot be influenced by, say, the majority opinion, or figures of authority.
