Coinbase founder explores a Web3 version of LinkedIn to empower job-seeking users

Brian Armstrong, who is the co-founder of Coinbase, one of the leading crypto exchanges globally, is exploring innovations to build a web3-based version of LinkedIn where companies can issue soul-binding NFTs (non-fungible token) to verify employment and qualifications.

This innovation could potentially replace current resume verification processes by offering a secure and transparent way to certify professional credentials. Armstrong's statement is in line with what he said in a blog post and presentation he gave on 30 August about the crypto future.

He talked about a bunch of ideas that could revolutionise the digital asset market, and the importance of having a good ecosystem outside of Coinbase's core products.
