It was at the EBC Hackathon that the Coreum team crossed paths with an ambitious project positioned to transform the professional networking landscape — Coredin. As a third-wave Coreum grantee, Coredin quickly stood out for its vision to overcome the limitations of traditional job platforms. Now, built on Coreum’s enterprise-grade blockchain, CoredIn is providing a secure, decentralized platform where freelancers, developers, content creators, and businesses can elevate their growth and connect within a trusted network.

Why Coredin? A Comparison to Traditional Platforms

To appreciate CoredIn’s unique value, it’s helpful to draw a comparison to established platforms like LinkedIn, Fiverr, and Quora. Users of traditional professional and freelance platforms such as these often face challenges with unverifiable credentials, intermediary fees, and limited payment options.

CoredIn addresses these hurdles with a trustless system built on verifiable credentials, decentralized identities (DIDs), and incentivized messaging. This approach ensures that professional interactions are secure, verifiable, and tailored to user needs, removing the need for intermediaries and fostering trust among users.

LinkedIn vs. Coredin

LinkedIn is widely used for networking, professional connections, and talent discovery but relies on traditional verification methods. CoredIn, however, fosters a community centered on knowledge-sharing and trust, using on-chain validation for expertise and credentials. This not only enhances transparency but empowers users to control their data, customize visibility, and engage meaningfully in a spam-free environment built on genuine connections and professional growth.

Fiverr vs. Coredin

Fiverr provides a project-based freelance marketplace, but it relies heavily on middlemen and platform fees, which can increase costs for both freelancers and employers. In contrast, CoredIn eliminates intermediaries and their associated fees by leveraging the blockchain to enable direct peer-to-peer transactions. Moreover, CoredIn’s upcoming “staking on professionals” feature adds a unique financial incentive for supporting rising talent, giving users an opportunity to earn as the profiles they back grow in demand — something traditional freelance marketplaces do not offer.

Quora vs. CoredIn

Quora offers a platform for sharing knowledge and fostering community discussions through Q&A. However, it does not have financial incentives or verified identities for its users. CoredIn builds on this concept by introducing SocialFi features like microblogging and tipping, providing incentive for professionals to share their insights. This not only helps users build trust and credibility within their network but also allows them to enhance their professional value, all backed by on-chain verification.

The Key Features of Coredin

Verifiable Credentials and DID-Based Identities

CoredIn ensures users can elevate their expertise by showcasing their verified professional credentials. As a result, hiring managers gain a trustless way to assess qualifications. By using self-sovereign identities, the platform gives users full control over their personal data, enhancing both transparency and security.

Subscription-Based Access and Messaging

CoredIn offers a subscription model where users can subscribe to specific professionals or projects, unlocking access to private content and direct messaging. This structure requires a subscription to initiate contact, effectively preventing spam and ensuring that recipients are compensated when messaged. This approach fosters direct, meaningful engagement between professionals and their audiences.

Enhanced SocialFi Network Capabilities

Unlike traditional job platforms, CoredIn integrates SocialFi elements — features that blend social networking and finance — allowing users to connect, share insights, and build communities within a spam-free, curated environment. These social elements, such as microblogging, tipping, and staking on professionals, not only help to cultivate relationships, but also enable users to monetize their expertise and grow their network.

Monetized Expertise

CoredIn allows professionals to turn expertise into income through its pay-to-message system and soulbound subscriptions, where profile memberships serve as unique digital tokens. This ensures meaningful and exclusive professional interactions.

Upcoming Features and Future Roadmap

Having actualized major milestones in their roadmap, Coredin continues to actively develop and expand its features, with new enhancements on the way, such as:

Gig and Job Postings

Businesses and freelancers will soon be able to post and apply for jobs directly on the platform, with credentials verified on-chain, reducing the time spent vetting candidates and ensuring trusted hires.

Microblogging with Tipping

Professionals can engage with their audience through microblogging, earning tips for valuable contributions. This feature incentivizes knowledge-sharing while providing financial rewards for meaningful interactions.

Staking on Professionals

CoredIn introduces an innovative staking on professionals feature, where users can support rising talent and earn returns as the professionals they back gain traction. This brings a new dimension to professional networking, where backing the right person can pay off both financially and in career advancement.
