The Problem CodeCred Solves

CodeCred tackles the issue of accurately evaluating open-source contributions. Traditional metrics like commit counts fail to convey the complexity and value of contributions, making it hard for recruiters to recognize a developer's true impact.

How CodeCred Solves These Problems

CodeCred uses blockchain and on-chain attestations to authenticate contributions, offering a transparent and secure way to evaluate open-source work.

For Contributors:

• Enhanced Visibility: Showcases the significance of their contributions beyond simple metrics.
• Verified Scores: Contributions are verified by project maintainers, enhancing credibility.
• Professional Growth: A verified profile aids in job applications and performance reviews.

For Recruiters:

• Efficient Assessment: Quickly understand the true impact of contributions through detailed analysis.
• Informed Decisions: Make better hiring decisions with data-driven insights.

Features of CodeCred

• Direct Rewards: Contributors receive rewards directly from maintainers, incentivizing significant contributions.

CodeCred provides a comprehensive solution to the undervaluation of open-source work, benefiting both contributors and recruiters by ensuring contributions are accurately recognized and rewarded.

Challenges we ran into

Coinbase paymaster & bundler

The developer dashboard does not show the logs of the requests. Trying to debug why calls were failed was a pain.

Ethers and viem
Web3 world has been split into two different set of frameworks. Some use ethers and some use viem. Without good cross-compatibility solutions/libraries , development time gets significantly impacted.

Example: Privy + zerodev/permissionless works mostly on viem. While EAS(Ethereum Attestation Service) requires ethers object. Passing the objects from Privy to EAS is not possible without a mapping function in the middles

We ended up calling the contracts manually without the SDK because of this.
