SkillScore Identity System is built to give companies, HR teams, and departments a reliable way to verify people without the usual guesswork. It goes beyond basic checks. The system reviews documents, validates personal details, and examines every project a user submits. It also runs structured assessments that measure real-world skills instead of surface-level knowledge. Each stage collects signals about the user’s actual capability, their consistency, and the quality of their work. All this data is processed and turned into a detailed scorecard that shows a user’s strengths, weaknesses, performance history, and overall trust rating. This scorecard becomes a transparent identity that reflects skill, experience, and credibility. Organizations can use this trusted profile to make faster and more confident decisions. It helps employers filter out inflated claims, reduce hiring risks, and shortlist candidates who have proven ability. It also gives professionals a fair way to showcase their talent, even if they don’t have traditional backgrounds or big-name credentials. At its core, SkillScore Identity System aims to build a world where opportunities are based on what people can actually do, not what they say they can do. It provides a clear, unbiased, and verified identity for every user—backed by evidence, tested performance, and trust.

ArcFi is a next-generation AI and Arc blockchain-powered finance ecosystem built for a generation that values intelligence, transparency, and automation in every financial move. Instead of relying on one chatbot, ArcFi orchestrates five specialized AI agents, Spending, Portfolio, Perks, Advisors, and Goals, synchronized through a central communication hub that acts as a digital financial boardroom. Together, they analyze and learn from real data in real time to manage every aspect of a user’s financial life. ArcFi merges AI with blockchain through Arc’s EVM-compatible network, using USDC for secure, on-chain, gas-free transactions. The system reads live wallet data to deliver personalized insights and enables conversational finance, where users can speak naturally and act instantly. Each agent has a unique role enhanced with ElevenLabs voice responses: the Spending Agent categorizes and optimizes expenses, the Portfolio Agent tracks assets like crypto, stocks, and real estate, the Perks Agent finds rewards and cashback across 50+ programs, the Advisors Agent connects users with experts through lifelike voice conversations, and the Goals Agent models savings and growth projections with motivational voice feedback. The Chat Orchestrator coordinates all agents, interpreting natural language and generating unified text and ElevenLabs-powered voice outputs. ArcFi lets users say “Send $500 to my landlord,” and it securely executes the USDC transaction via MetaMask while maintaining full control. Privacy stays central, with AI running locally and blockchain ensuring transparency. ArcFi’s agents produce automatic reports, insights, and predictive analytics, creating a living, self-updating ecosystem that anticipates user needs through intelligent text and voice interaction.
