Talent Tally #5 π’

gm friends π,
Welcome to a new Talent Tally, probably our most gem-packed one so far! Letβs unpack what happened over the last few weeks π
Silver medal in Celo Camp Batch 4 π₯

Celo Camp was a big part of the Talent Protocol development stage and one reason why we launched on Celo. To wrap up Celo Camp, Pedro pitched Talent Protocol as part of a competition and we came second just behind Masa Finance! Granted, we did not bang the drum for this as much as we should have πbut coming second out of 69 participants was still not too bad. You can watch the pitch here.
Private raise: fall roundβ
In anticipation of a possibly bumpy ride ahead for blockchain, Talent Protocol successfully closed its second private raise, which brings us to $1.75 million total raised. Weβre not going to go into much detail here since there will be a separate big announcement coming in the following days regarding investments, so stay tuned π.
Growth numbers from the Private Beta π±
The Private Beta is still going strong. Currently there are 55 Talent Tokens deployed, 147 supporters active, and over $20,000 in total value locked. That is still a bit short of our year-end goal of 100+ Talent Tokens, so donβt expect to see the next Talent Tally before the 100 is not full π.

Easter Eggs π₯
You may not have been aware of our Easter Eggs since we did not announce them (but if we did, they would not be Easter Eggs π). But we recommend paying attention to all the material we publish on all of our channels (Discord, Docs, Notion, and all the others). Sometimes you may find a lucrative Easter Egg like Ricardo did here:

Participate in quests πβπ¨
One way how Talent Protocol will stimulate growth are quests. Click on the quest form and choose whether you want to participate in a supporter quest, talent quest, or Twitter quest. All three get rewards, so itβs worth participating and helping the protocol grow π.

Work at Talent Protocol π²
Lastly, and most importantly, Talent Protocol is hiring! We are looking for a Senior Designer and a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join the core team! Exact job descriptions will follow shortly in a separate post but if you want to help build the protocol, reach out to us via Twitter DM or join our Discord and ping us.
Thatβs all for this week, friends. Letβs do this π€
