A Skill-Based Economy refers to an economic system where an individual’s value and compensation are primarily determined by their specific abilities, knowledge, and expertise, rather than traditional credentials or job titles. In the digital realm, this often manifests through platforms that connect individuals with specialized skills to projects or tasks, frequently leveraging decentralized networks for validation and payment. It prioritizes practical competence and verifiable contributions. This model can democratize access to opportunities.
