We, at Arkimedes Network, are on a mission to connect and build trust among enterprises, academia, and talented people to help them make better decisions. At its core, our Trustworthy Career Platform is being built on a set of smart contracts to (i) issue self-verifiable employment and academic credentials, and (ii) facilitate the creation of on-chain reputation. Initially on the Ethereum blockchain, Arkimedes Network has decided to deploy its (beta) smart contracts on Optimism, an Ethereum Virtual Machine equivalent Layer-2 (L2), while we begin building on the Polkadot / Kusama ecosystem.
