What is YapCoder?
YapCoder is the first Developer Relations (DevRel) Provenance Platform, purpose-built to quantify developer activity, reputation, and ecosystem health in real time. It converts fragmented engagement signals into actionable, verifiable metrics, positioning itself as the system of record for developer reputation.
What problem does YapCoder solve?
What problem does YapCoder solve?
Organizations often struggle with unmeasured ROI from hackathons, fragmented data across repositories, and poor visibility into developer retention.YapCoder solves this by providing a single source of truth that aggregates and normalizes contribution data, allowing teams to:
- Quantify ROI from DevRel spend.
- Identify high-impact developers automatically.
- Monitor ecosystem health and momentum.
How is YapCoder different from generic GitHub analytics?
How is YapCoder different from generic GitHub analytics?
YapCoder is not just a dashboard; it is a provenance platform. Key differentiators include:
- Reputation as a Primitive: We treat reputation as a quantifiable, portable asset, not just a count of commits.
- Longitudinal Tracking: We track developers across events and timelines to measure retention and long-term impact.
- Ecosystem Specialization: We offer native tracking for Move packages (Sui), providing depth that generic tools miss.
- Provenance: We focus on verifiable history and on-chain proof, not vanity metrics.

YapCoder provides a verifiable Reputation Score that serves as digital proof of work. It helps you:
- Prove your skills: Aggregates your contributions (commits, stars, experience) into a single score.
- Benchmark: See where you stand against global peers.
- Gain Trust: Verified status signals expertise to employers and potential collaborators.
- Build a Portfolio: Creates a unified record of your work across the ecosystem.
How exactly is the Reputation Score calculated?
How exactly is the Reputation Score calculated?
Your Reputation Score is a proprietary weighted aggregate of your activity, benchmarked against top-tier developer standards. We analyze multiple dimensions of your developer profile, including:
- Contribution Volume: Code commits and activity levels.
- Ecosystem Impact: Engagement with specific ecosystems (like Sui) and community recognition (stars, forks).
- Consistency & Tenure: Long-term activity and experience in the field.
- Technical Breadth: Diversity of languages and project complexity.

YapCoder is currently optimized for the Sui ecosystem. Even if you have significant GitHub activity, you must have at least one repository identified as a Sui project to generate a reputation score. This ensures the leaderboard reflects active participants in the Move/Sui developer community.
What data is stored on-chain?
What data is stored on-chain?
YapCoder uses the Sui blockchain to create a permanent, verifiable record of your developer identity. The
YapCoder object stores:- GitHub User ID & Username: Linking your on-chain identity to your code profile.
- Package Links: A cryptographic link between your published Sui packages and your GitHub repositories (including the commit hash).
- Timestamps: Immutable proof of when your profile and projects were verified.

What is 'YapCoder Status'?
YapCoder Status is a verified badge awarded to developers who demonstrate consistent high-quality contributions and expertise. It acts as a signal of trust to potential collaborators, employers, and the broader community.

What data sources do you use?
We combine off-chain and on-chain data to build a complete profile:
- GitHub API: For commit history, repository stats, and language usage.
- Blockberry API: To verify deployed Sui packages, module counts, and transaction history.
- Sui Blockchain: For permanent provenance and identity verification.
