Your work, credited by the people who saw it.
A CV says what you claim. A repository shows what was merged. Neither says that the project itself recognises what you did. Atesta is where the organisation says so, in a form that someone else can check.
What you can put on record.
Any contribution an organisation can look at and confirm. Code is one kind among many.
Development and design.
A feature, a fix, an interface, a design system. Point to the pull request or the file.
Research, writing and documentation.
A report, a specification, a guide, a published analysis.
Community, product and project management.
Running a programme, moderating a community, shipping a release. The work that rarely leaves a commit behind.
Mentorship, governance and hackathon results.
Confirmed by the organiser or the body you served, not by a certificate you upload yourself.
What stays in your hands.
Your record is yours to shape. The one thing you cannot do is verify it yourself.
Drafts and pending claims are never public.
Only you, and the reviewers of the organisation you send a claim to, can see it before it is approved.
You do not need a NEAR account to take part.
The organisation anchors the attestation from its account. You can link a NEAR account later if you want one shown on your profile.
Nothing ranks you against anyone else.
Your profile shows counts of verified contributions by kind, taken from records that are currently valid. That is all the arithmetic there is.
Public or private, and you choose what to feature.
You can hide your profile at any time. Attestations already issued stay checkable by their own link, because the organisation issued them.
What this cannot do for you.
Atesta cannot make an organisation confirm your work, and it will not confirm it in the organisation’s place. If the project you contributed to is not on Atesta, your claim stays self-reported until it is.
An attestation is the issuing organisation’s word about one piece of work. It is only as meaningful as that organisation is to whoever reads it.
Where this build stands: sign-up is not open yet. The pages you can read today describe the product that is being built; the sample record on the home page runs the real digest check.
