Today we are talking to Erick Pinos, Business Development Lead at Orange Protocol.
Erick describes the start of his crypto journey at MIT, where he joined the MIT Bitcoin Club, eventually leading him to the Blockchain Education Network, where he serves as President. He also points to the seed for identity and on-chain credentials being planted there, having his diploma issued on the Bitcoin network.
Erick joined Ontology soon after graduating college, where he cut his teeth in decentralized identity and data, helping to expand their ecosystem.
About Orange Protocol, he says, DAOs are interested in Sybil resistance, proving that someone is unique and an active contributor; Orange is nurturing these use cases and providing ways for web3 projects to use reputation-weighted voting and creating value-aligned incentives through a variety of campaigns that measure social contributions, public goods funding, governance activity. Orange enables web3 contributors to build their on-chain history.
He points to a recent campaign that Orange hosted with talentDAO where reputation NFTs were provisioned to contributors who had participated across a variety of web3 activities, including Snapshot, POAP, Gitcoin Grants, Panvala Stamps, Twitter, and Discord too.
Lots to unpack here, so without further ado, let's get started
