🚨 The Problem

Resumes are often unreliable, with over 40% containing false or exaggerated information. This creates several issues:

• ⏳ Slow & Costly Verification: Recruiters spend 23+ hours per hire on validating skills through tests, interviews, and background checks.
• 🎯 Overlooked Talent: Students and professionals with real project-based skills fail to stand out because they lack verifiable proof.
• 🌍 No Universal System: LinkedIn endorsements or MOOC certificates are easily faked and lack true credibility.

💡 The Solution: SkillChain

SkillChain is an AI + Blockchain-powered platform that creates verifiable, tamper-proof credentials for real-world skills.

It works by:

• 🤖 AI Skill Verification: AI analyzes submitted projects to assess authenticity and contribution.
• 👩‍⚖️ Mentor Review: Verified professionals review projects and earn rewards for fair evaluation.
• 🏅 Blockchain Skill Badges: Once validated, skills are minted as NFTs (ERC-721) on Polygon, making them immutable & fraud-proof.
• 🔗 On-Chain Proof: Each badge is linked to project metadata stored on IPFS, ensuring transparent records.
• 📲 Seamless Integration: Recruiters can verify via blockchain explorers, APIs, or QR codes on resumes/LinkedIn.
