Ispolink

What Ispolink does

Ispolink LTD is a Sofia, Bulgaria-based private company founded in 2020 that operates a cross-chain Applicant Tracking System (ATS) targeted at Web3 hiring. The platform combines an AI-powered matching engine with an NLP-based CV parsing pipeline and a recommender system to score Web3 developer candidates against job requirements, including verification through GitHub profile analysis. Pricing is not fully disclosed but is structured around hiring packages purchasable in the native ISP token, with a free tier for job seekers and self-serve onboarding via GitHub OAuth in under five seconds.

Beyond recruitment, Ispolink operates an ecosystem of three product lines: the Ispolink Platform (ATS), Ispoverse (a blockchain-based "GameFi as a Service" metaverse offering virtual HQs, hackathons, Web3 Academy, NFT exhibitions, and livestreaming), and the Friendly Giant AI Agent (a DeepSeek R1-powered autonomous agent branded as an "AI KOL" that accepts ISP tokens for AI-generated promotional posts). The company generates revenue through a hybrid model spanning subscription-style hiring fees, 1% transaction fees on its cross-chain token bridge (Ethereum↔BNB Chain), ISP token utility (staking, rewards, deflations via bi-weekly burns), and GameFi in-app purchases. Customers during the May 2022 testnet launch included Nexo, Reef, Ferrum Network, PERI Finance, Evedo, Citadel DAO, and Dreamix; current active posting customers include LimeChain, Manta Network, zkLink, Laika AI, and Matrix AI. The company raised $1.6M in a single seed round in April 2021 from a syndicate of crypto-native investors.
