LiskIn

What is LiskIn?

LiskIn is a decentralized application (dApp) on the Lisk L2 Blockchain that allows for a decentralized digital identity for individuals and institutions.

A verifiable LinkedIn on the Lisk Blockchain

LiskIn uses the power of blockchain technology to tokenize educational and professional credentials. This allows for institutions to issue qualifications and certifications such as University degrees to users’ wallets hence making the credentials of the individual verifiable forever.

Why does it exist?

Some facts:

• Emerging Markets suffer from a lack of transparency and credential integrity which slows growth and deters foreign investment.

• 140 job applications are submitted through LinkedIn every second.

• Average cost of a background check is $40.

LiskIn brings credential integrity to Emerging Markets at a low cost by severely lowering the cost of background checks and the Lisk L2 can handle a high number of transactions per second (as compared to the Ethereum chain), allowing it to compete even with the likes of LinkedIn.

How we built it

LiskIn is built with a React front-end and a Solidity Smart Contract on the Lisk Blockchain called LiskIn.sol.

Challenges we ran into

Lisk being a new L2 blockchain had limited support and documentation so it was a nice learning challenge to develop on it. Overall, the documentation was quite helpful along with the faucet, bridge and low gas fees made it a pleasant experience.

What's next for LiskIn

LiskIn can become much bigger. It has the possibility to turn into a DeSoc platform with plenty of incentives for both users who want verifiable credentials and institutions who want cheap verifiable background checks.
