# TalentLayerID.sol

[**TalentLayerID.sol**](https://github.com/TalentLayer/talentlayer-id-contracts/blob/main/contracts/TalentLayerID.sol) is the smart contract that initializes a user's TalentLayer ID. The contract can be used to:

* Mint a TalentLayer ID
* Update profile off-chain data 
* Transfer the NFT if there is no activity linked to it
* A TalentLayerID can delegate right to another address to execute transaction on the protocol (for example to pay for gas fees, or to automatize release)
