Plaza is a trust layer for finding collaborators. It unifies GitHub proof-of-work, LinkedIn professional identity and live availability into a single structured signal that answers three questions about any potential collaborator: are they credible, are they open to collaborating right now, and is it safe to contact them?

How does Plaza verify that a builder is credible?

Plaza uses a dual-source trust gateway: you sign in with GitHub and LinkedIn, anchoring identity to both your work graph and your career graph. A Trust Score is then composed from verified activity — real commit history and ownership evidence — not self-declared claims.

How does matching work?

Plaza matches collaborators by meaning, not keywords, using semantic embeddings of skills, projects and needs. Every recommendation comes with a human-readable Match Reason — no match is ever shown without explaining why.

Will Plaza spam my inbox?

No. Contact is controlled — it can only be initiated through a structured collaboration request, and raw contact details are never exposed. It is built to eliminate cold-DM spam.

How does Plaza verify people?
