Vidos' Challenge
Tracks: Reusable Identity, Education & Workforce
Register: DevPost
Informational Session: Watch the recording
DIF Hackathon Discord Channel: #vidos
Website: Vidos
Overview
This track invites participants to explore how decentralized identity, specifically leveraging DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) and VCs (Verifiable Credentials), can be applied to innovative use cases in recruitment and reusable ID.
Participants will utilize the Vidos tech stack and other tools from our partner network to build solutions that enhance security, efficiency, and user control in these domains.
Challenges
Challenge 1: Employer Portal Using DIDs and VCs (Education track)
Develop a proof-of-concept ‘employer portal’ that enables recruiters to identify, verify, and onboard candidates through a seamless, decentralized identity system. The portal should integrate DID-based identity management and support the issuance and verification of VCs to streamline the hiring process.
Key features include:
- Candidate Identification: Use credentials such as education and skills-based certifications to match candidates to suitable roles.
- Qualification Verification: Implement secure methods to verify candidate qualifications and identity using VCs.
- Onboarding Automation: Create a user-friendly onboarding interface that leverages VCs for streamlined processes.
- Innovative Training Paths: Design training programs tailored to the skills of new hires, incorporating credential issuance.
Example use cases:
- Matching candidates to job openings based on verified skills and qualifications.
- Automating the verification of educational and professional credentials.
- Creating a marketplace for qualification issuers and recruitment agencies.
Prizes
Total: $2,250 USD
- 1st place: $1,200 USD, optional video podcast interview, promotion across our socials
- 2nd place: $700 USD, optional video podcast interview
- 3rd place: $350 USD
Challenge 2: VC Interoperability (Reusable ID track)
Develop a proof-of-concept solution that demonstrates the flexibility and interoperability of Verifiable Credentials (VCs) across multiple scenarios. Your solution should showcase how a single VC can be reused in different contexts, such as using a passport for both travel access and age-gated entry. Additionally, the solution should be capable of verifying similar credentials VCs from different issuers, e.g. passport credentials issued by different national authorities - highlighting the versatility of VCs in various real-world applications.
Key features:
- **Interaction with Issuer: **Integrate with a VC issuer (e.g., TBD) and leverage the Vidos tech stack to retrieve and verify the VC, ensuring seamless interaction between the issuer and the verifier.
- **Multiple Issuers: **Implement functionality to work with multiple VC issuers, creating and verifying credentials from different sources using the Vidos tech stack. This should demonstrate the interoperability of VCs across various issuers.
- **VC Verification: **Ensure that the solution accurately verifies the correct VC for the given scenario, maintaining high security and reliability standards.
- **User Design: **Design an intuitive interface that allows users to easily select which VC they wish to use in a given situation, enhancing the user experience and demonstrating the practical application of reusable VCs.
