Honio (honio .xyz)
Why I Built It
Honio was built to solve one of the biggest problems in hiring and judging: bias. Interview decisions are often influenced by first impressions, visible reviewer opinions, or internal pressure, leading to inconsistent and sometimes unfair outcomes. I wanted to create a system where every reviewer evaluates candidates independently, allowing hiring decisions to be based on evidence rather than influence.
The Solution
Honio is a blind hiring review platform where reviewers submit their evaluations privately. Instead of exposing scores immediately, reviews remain confidential until the evaluation process is complete, after which the aggregated results are revealed. This creates a more transparent, consistent, and trustworthy hiring workflow while reducing reviewer bias.
To push privacy even further, Honio leverages Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) so sensitive review data can be processed without exposing the underlying values. This means candidate scores remain encrypted throughout the review process until the appropriate reveal stage.
Technical Highlights
One of the goals of Honio was to make Web3 complexity invisible to end users.
-
Wallet creation is fully abstracted using Privy. A wallet is automatically created when a user signs up, without requiring them to understand seed phrases or browser wallets.
-
Encryption and decryption are abstracted behind the application layer, allowing reviewers to interact with a familiar Web2 experience while encrypted computation happens in the background.
-
Smart contract interactions are also abstracted, with transactions being sponsored by a universal wallet today so users never need to manage gas fees.
What’s Next
The current implementation sponsors transactions through an admin wallet, but the long-term plan is to integrate a Paymaster. This will enable true gasless interactions at scale, allowing users to interact with the application without holding ETH while maintaining a seamless onboarding experience.
Feedback Needed
I’m looking for feedback on:
-
The overall user experience, especially for non-Web3 users.
-
The privacy model improvements.
-
The architecture and abstraction of wallets, encryption, and smart contract interactions.
-
Any ideas that could improve the product before moving towards production.
i would really appreciate feedback from the community, thanks in advance
