In line with market challenges with innovative technology-based solutions for acquisition and sharing skills are immense and growing. For example, the market for edtech solutions is estimated at $ 94b by 2020.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Edtech refers to acquisition-related platforms such as e-learning or Learning Management Systems (LMS), still a great opportunity for technology-based solutions for online skill portfolios, soft skill related platforms or even reinforcing skills (platforms that will empower values or will get the attitude metrics and profile of their users)
Workkola: The Proven Solution and Team Behind Skyllz
Workkola (https://workkola.com), has worked for two years in a proven solution that empowers, improves and measures what they call Talent Branding. Talent Talent replaces CV with a human-centered metric, validation, and validity system based on hardware & software support. It works as a proof of exceptional ability and notes achievement through challenges posted by the company.
"In Workkola, we are changing the way talents gain access to work and jobs get access to talent." Commitment to Greatness, Workkola, Inc. is helping students with the digital skills to showcase their skills, build their Talent Brands, and discover amazing job opportunities , while helping companies assess and attract talents that have been examined.
The SDP Protocol
Skyllz Distributed Platform sets the standards to create a cross-platform ecosystem where:
● Any user that acquires, applies, or improves a skill on any application from the SDP with a resolved rating of the minimum for qualification, will be automatically proofed by Ethereum Blockchain.
● The Proof-of-Skill of every skill stored by any user will be publicly visible and hereunder shareable (via its Ethereum address).
● Any Skill Touchpoint Application (STAPP) can participate on the SDP if it follows the 7 Principles of the SDP, meets the technical requirements to connect with the APIs
(skyllz.io), and is accepted by the Skyllz community (proof-of-skill and SKT holders' vote).
● Any STapp on top of the SDP, will be able to add any new skill to the Blockchain, if
accepted by the Skyllz community (proof-of-skill and SKT holders' vote), in order to
ensure the evolution and adaptability of the SDP over time (new jobs, new relevant skills, new priorities ...).
● A community of Raters - experienced users of a specific area or skill - that acts as oracles between the off-blockchain triggers and the on-blockchain processes. They will decide whether Skyllz Tokens (SKT) should be transferred to the user or not, in an anonymized way and using a Proof-of-Skill betting system. This will ensure the quality of the ratings, avoid biases (keep the anonymity during the rating period) and will keep bad actors out of the game.
● Raters will get Skyllz Tokens (SKT) in exchange for their ratings.
● Skyllz Tokens (SKT) will allow to access the services of any STapp on top the SDP.
Skyllz's mission is to turn people into their main assets.
The Skyllz Distributed Platform (SDP) aims to build a universal and evolving
Human Skills Ecosystem that replaces CV.
Workkola helps digitally-skilled students showcase their skills, build their Talent Brands and find amazing job opportunities, while helping companies assess and attract vetted talent
From Competitive Landscape to Cooperating Landscape
Given that blockchain and smart contracts are a very new technology. The development, competition in the field of talent tokenisasi and knowledge is very rare. There is players - the first mover - find themselves in the early stages of technology deployment and product / market trials.
However, the following graph maps the various "old schools" and technology-based players in talent recruitment-talent management industry, with the goal of appearing widely the scope of direct and indirect competition.
The Skyllz Token
The Skyllz Token (SKT), an ERC-20 compliant utility token, enables users to access and transact on the SDP. They serve as units of account that enable users to participate and get validations of their skills on or across any application of the ecosystem.
SKT is a utility token of fixed supply that can be integrated into applications as the
transactional layer of value.
SKT: Usage And Utility
The Skyllz Token (SKT) is a multi-purpose tool for the SDP
structure, its business model, and help maximize all STapps' business models within the
ecosystem. As William Mougayar points out, there are three tenets to token utility and they are:
● Role
● Features
● Purpose
Mougayar designed a table that helps classify and summarize token roles with their own set of
features and purpose.
SKT:
An ERC-20 Compliant Token One of the most significant token standards of all for Ethereum is called ERC-20
ERC-20 defines six different functions for the benefit of other tokens within the Ethereum system. These are basic functionality issues, including how tokens are transferred and how users can access data about a token. ERC-20 also prescribes two different signals that each token takes on and which other tokens are attuned to.
Put together, this set of functions and signals that Ethereum tokens of different types will be the same in any place within the Ethereum system.
As part of the Ethereum Network, Skyllz will issue a fixed amount of Skyllz Tokens (SKT) to fuel the ecosystem, and allow meritocracy (the Meritocracy Rule) across its applications.
Skyllz Roadmap
Skyllz roadmap is mainly divided in 3 main phases:
● Phase I: Skyllz protocol development and deployment: the SDP and SKT
● Phase II: Skyllz Beta in a controlled and closed ecosystem. Adoption of Workkola to the protocol as the first STapp on top of the SDP.
Early ignition + model testing + debugging + use cases + security reinforcement
● Phase III: Skyllz v2 release. Opening the protocol to third parties.
Allocation of a 7.5% of total issued SKT to finance further developments or adoptions of STAPs to the SDP. Early ignition of the ecosystem.

To fuel early ignition of these first STapps, we will invest SKT on them on a token-holder-voting base. All Skyllz and SKT holders will vote on a voting base:
- which STAPPS can build their solutions on the SDP
- which skills can be added to the SDP
- which STAP will get access to the partners' funds and how much SKT they will
receive for early ignition To bring value to the whole ecosystem and maintain its decentralization.
