“Skills are the currency of the future. But currency is worthless without trust.”
Lemma founding principle
The problem
Skill verification is broken.
LinkedIn endorsements are traded as favors. Certificate mills sell credentials without substance. Resumes are inflated by default. The gap between skills claimed and skills proven has never been wider. We believe the world deserves a better system.

Our approach
How we fix it.
Event-sourced truth
Every skill interaction is recorded as an immutable event. Evidence accumulates over time and cannot be altered retroactively. The proof trail is always auditable.
Peer validation
Skills are validated through real interactions with real people. Peer sessions, ratings, and endorsements create social proof that is weighted by the endorser's own credibility.
Algorithmic fairness
SCI scoring is transparent, deterministic, and versioned. Every factor is visible. No black boxes, no hidden biases, no pay-to-win mechanics.
Our values
What drives us.
Transparency
Every score, every metric, every decision is explainable. We show our work because trust requires visibility.
Proof over claims
We do not accept self-reported data at face value. Every skill assertion must be backed by verifiable evidence.
Open by default
Open API, open documentation, open methodology. We believe the trust layer for skills must be accessible to everyone.
User sovereignty
Your data belongs to you. Your passport is portable. You control who sees it and how it is shared.
