Doggos Launches Blockchain-Verified Skills Credentials for Remote Workers - No Passport Required
Doggos, launching today, offers blockchain-verified skills certifications that workers can earn, own, and carry across jobs - without surrendering biometric data to anyone.
The Problem With Centralised Verification
A recent investigation by The Local Stack revealed that LinkedIn's identity verification, powered by San Francisco-based Persona Identities Inc., collects passport scans, facial biometrics, and government ID data - all stored under US jurisdiction regardless of where the user lives. For the 42 million professionals who use LinkedIn daily, the trade-off between a blue badge and biometric privacy is increasingly uncomfortable.
A Privacy-First Alternative
Doggos takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of centralised biometric verification, skills credentials are verified through a three-layer pipeline:
AI scanning - automated review of work submissions for quality and authenticity
Community review - peer verification by recognised contributors
Blockchain signing - immutable, on-chain proof that lives permanently on the public ledger
The result: verifiable proof of competence that no single company controls, and that doesn't require handing over a passport.
19 Certifications Aligned With LinkedIn's Own Skills Data
In a pointed irony, Doggos' certification library is directly informed by LinkedIn's own research. The platform launches with 19 blockchain-verified certifications - including 9 new categories mapped to LinkedIn's 2026 "Skills on the Rise" report:
🤖 AI Prompt Engineering
🧠 Machine Learning
📊 Data Analytics & Storytelling
⚙️ Process Automation
🔒 Cyber Risk & Compliance
🌐 Remote Leadership
🌍 Cross-Cultural Communication
📋 Strategic Planning
💼 Sales & Negotiation
Each certification features 35-44 rigorous multiple-choice questions. Pass at 80%+, and your credential is written to the blockchain - portable, permanent, and verifiable by any employer without trusting a platform.
Built for the 85% Working Remotely
Doggos is purpose-built for distributed teams. Living entirely inside Slack - the operating system for remote work - it combines:
Peer recognition - react with 🐕 to recognise great work
Blockchain-verified credentials - skills proven on-chain, not on paper
Community governance - a 9-seat elected council with recruiter and remote worker representation
Crypto payouts - meaningful rewards, not gift cards (powered by Solana)

$150,000 in pre-launch soft commitments
10/10 security audit score
137 automated tests passing
