Problem

Talent was trapped in private networks.

In web3, strong seniors and leads sit in Telegram circles, community hubs, and personal graphs — not on classic job boards. Every open role became a slow, expensive hunt through people who already knew people.

Home as a place, not a form — search, dynasties, featured roles, and the illustrated world in one frame.

Solution

Hire through the network, not around it.

Intropia turned recruitment into a referral market: companies post openings with a reward for a successful intro, and the whole graph — introducers, communities, partners — has a reason to hunt for the right person.

At the core is Introduce & Earn. Anyone with a trusted network can share a role, send a pre-qualified candidate, and get paid when the hire lands. Jobs, grants, bounties, and events live in one surface instead of five scattered channels.

A role with a $10k intro bounty — apply yourself, or open the graph and earn.
Filters that speak web3: bounties, grants, referral-only, hundreds of smart tags.

Product

App, bot, dashboards — one hiring machine.

Beyond the public app: customizable admin for orgs, jobs, events, and applications; MetaMask beside Google and GitHub for a crypto-native gate; a Telegram bot that pushes a personal feed of opportunities instead of making people refresh a tab.

Operator surface: hundreds of orgs and jobs, referrals and content modules in one grid.
Telegram as a product surface — personal feed, apply or introduce without leaving the chat.
For companies: own community, media, introducers, partner hubs — one profile for every opportunity type.

Outcome

Signal in. Friction out.

First week brought 500+ applications; the platform grew toward thousands of monthly active professionals. Hiring got closer to “post a role, price the intro, get signal” — while the live revenue path stayed intact. Even the content layer worked for the brand: a Web3 talent survey and product updates that kept the lore and the pipeline moving together.

Web3 Talent Survey — research as product surface.

Inspiration

Drawn toward Moebius.

For the visual world of Intropia we looked hard at Jean Giraud — Moebius: clear line, strange calm landscapes, people small against impossible architecture. Not as pastiche stickers — as a brief for how a hiring product could feel less corporate and more like a place people actually want to inhabit.

That meant wide illustrated scenes behind dark UI, character avatars with sci-fi quietness, and color that stayed warm even when the chrome stayed black. The product had to feel precise and operational; the art had to keep it human and a little otherworldly — the same tension Moebius held between map and dream.

The main Intropia world — ligne claire density, lived-in tech, nature and stone in one frame.
Profiles carried the same illustrated language — lore you can scroll, not a sticker pack.

Story

  1. 01

    Web3 hiring was stuck in private graphs — Telegram, communities, warm intros — while job boards stayed cold.

  2. 02

    Intropia priced the intro: post a role, attach a reward, let introducers and hubs compete for the hire.

  3. 03

    Tobto shipped the full funnel — board, job detail, Introduce & Earn, admin modules, and a Telegram feed.

  4. 04

    The Moebius-led art universe made the product feel inhabited; MetaMask and web2 auth sat under the same sky.

  5. 05

    500+ applications in week one, thousands of monthly pros later — closer to “post and get signal,” revenue path intact.
