From Boost to Proof: Workplace Verification is Now Live

What’s changing:

  • Workplace verification is live (verify with your work email)

  • Your professional history now lives on-chain and belongs to you

  • The Earn tab is gone, making way for reputation-based rewards

  • Your existing Bond Points & Streaks are snapshotted and recognized in the next rewards cycle

You can fake it on LinkedIn. You can’t fake it on Bondex.

That’s the line we’re drawing today, and workplace verification is where it starts.

As of right now, you can verify your workplace on Bondex using your work email. It’s simple, mechanically. But what it represents is the beginning of something the professional world has needed for years: profiles you can actually trust.

The problem is bigger than most people realize.

Your professional profile is built entirely on self-reported claims. You write down where you worked. You list what you did. You describe what you achieved. An employer reads it and hopes you’re telling the truth.

Nobody checks. Nobody can. The entire system, in a $600 billion industry heading towards $1 trillion, runs on trust and keyword searches.

And it’s getting worse fast. AI lets anyone generate a perfect CV in seconds. Fake portfolios, inflated credentials, manufactured testimonials. One in four applications is now suspected to be fake or AI-generated. Companies are reporting losses above $50,000 from fraudulent hires.

When everyone can fake it, verified proof of real work is the only currency that matters.

And it’s not just a problem for employers. Every honest professional who’s ever lost out to someone who knew how to package themselves better feels this. 73% of people admit to exaggerating on their CV. The 27% who don’t have been paying for their integrity.

We’re fixing that.

Workplace verification is the first brick.

When you verify your workplace on Bondex, you’re claiming ownership of your professional reputation in a way that’s never been possible before.

Your work history lives on-chain. It belongs to you. Not to a recruiter’s database. Not to LinkedIn. Not to any platform that can change the rules or delete your account. You.

And this is just the start. Over the next 12 months, we’re rolling out verified professional history, vouching mechanisms where colleagues can validate your contributions, credential verification, and new ways to prove how you work, not just where. Each layer builds a profile that employers can trust. Each one makes you more discoverable to the companies that need what you do.

We’re building the source of truth for professional identity. The place where “I worked here” isn’t a claim, it’s a fact. Where your reputation is portable, verifiable, and yours.

What changes for rewards: we’re removing the Boost button.

The Earn tab, Boost button and Streaks are gone as of today.

They helped us build a community of 5 million downloads and proved that people want to be rewarded for participating in a professional network. We learned a lot.

But tapping a button doesn’t help you get hired. And we’re not interested in growing metrics that don’t impact our ability to connect people with jobs and opportunities. Everything else is noise.

So we’re changing how rewards work. Your existing Bond Points are snapshotted as of today. Every point recognized, nothing disappears. They’ll count towards the next rewards cycle, but that’s the last cycle where Boost points factor in.

From here, Bond Points will be earned automatically based on your verified reputation and network participation. The new earning mechanism launches soon. When it does, the more you verify and build, the more you earn. Proof over performance.

We’re holding ourselves to the same standard we’re asking of the professional world. If we believe reputation should be based on what you’ve actually done, not what you claim, then our reward system needs to reflect that.

This is what Bondex is now.

We’re building the reputation standard for the digital labour market. The verified credential that companies trust and professionals stake their careers on. The most trusted professional profiles in the world.

For professionals, this means getting discovered for what you’ve actually done, not what you’ve learned to perform. For companies, this means being able to trust the profiles they’re looking at. For the hiring system as a whole, this is the fix it’s been waiting for.

The future we’re building is one where you don’t apply for jobs anymore. You get discovered. Your verified reputation does the work. The professionals who’ve been losing to fake profiles and AI bots finally get their shot. The hiring managers drowning in fake applications can finally trust what they’re seeing again.

In a world where AI has made fake credentials indistinguishable from real ones, verified reputation is what matters. And we’re building the infrastructure that makes it real.

Fake it on LinkedIn. Prove it on Bondex.
