<summary>About &#x26; Search Algorithm</summary>

Configure your identity (under **Occupation** and **About**) (are you a Web3 project, service provider, developer, or professional investor?) and preferences in terms of with whom you want to connect (under **Show Me** and **Manage Wants**). \
\
The settings and options dynamically adjust depending on your needs and wants. Make sure to save any changes.\
\ <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Important</mark>: for certain user groups, we distinguish between **Individuals** and **Companies**. For instance, it can be that you work for a big law firm (=company), or that you are a freelance lawyer (=individual). \
\ <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Important</mark>: are you not sure about your category? Select Web3 service provider (as an **Occupation**), and select **Other** (under **About**). You can always change things later on. In this case, we also suggest that you select all other user categories under **Show Me**, so that your visibility is maximised.&#x20;

<summary>Secondary Occupation</summary>

If you wear multiple hats in the industry, you might want to connect with a lot of different people. To do this, switch on the '**Secondary** **Occupation**' toggle and add a **Secondary Occupation** to your profile by clicking not one box under **About**, but two boxes. The matchmaking algorithm will take this into account, giving you the flexibility to be matched in multiple roles. \
\ <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Important</mark>: your other hat will also be mentioned on your profile for others to see, if you have the toggle switched on.&#x20;

<summary>Profile Images</summary>

Your profile images are one of the first things people notice, so it's crucial to make them count. You can upload up to **six images** that represent you or your company, and these can be changed at any time. We recommend using **professional** images that align with your identity or goals — such as:

* High-quality pics&#x20;
* Screenshots of your pitch deck
* Graphics showcasing your tech stack
* Anything else that effectively conveys what you or your company stands for
