Description
Self Protocol is an identity verification system that leverages zero-knowledge proofs to enable Sybil-resistant token distributions and user authentication without compromising personal data. By validating user attributes such as age or location through passport verification, Self Protocol ensures that decentralized applications can authenticate real users while maintaining privacy.
Impact
By integrating Self Protocol, projects can ensure fair and secure token distributions and user interactions without accessing or storing sensitive personal information. This enhances trust and compliance within the decentralized ecosystem while preserving user privacy.
