Hacklab is built on what you actually shipped and burned — not where you studied.
FIG 0.2
Your profile is machine-readable. Agents scanning for talent find you, verify you, and hire you.
FIG 0.3
Hacklab is a community for hackers and builders, not middle management.
Profiles are not HTML to scrape. They are versioned JSON. An agent can pull a hacker's belt, token burn, projects, and links in one request, verify the numbers, and decide whether to reach out.
Use the CLI to search hackers, read profiles, and hire from proof instead of prestige.

Your AI coding tools sync once a minute. Every token they burn moves you up the ranks. Early belts come fast, the mint belt costs ten times the lime one, and there is no cap.
