✅Verification

Verification Requirements

To participate in proposals, you will need to verify your address through Holonym's identity verification system. This system ensures fair voting by confirming each participant is a unique individual, preventing the manipulation of voting power through multiple wallets.

Why Verification is Needed

To prevent users from splitting tokens across multiple wallets to gain unfair advantages, the dApp requires proof of uniqueness. This is not equal to KYC in any way, shape or form. We will not have your data and neither will Holonym as they use zero-knowledge proofs to verify that you are a unique individual. More about the technology behind Holonym can be found here.

Verification Methods

You can verify your uniqueness through two methods:

1. Phone Verification

   • Quick and easy verification using your phone number

   • Available across multiple networks(Ethereum, Optimism, Avalanche, Aurora), but Optimism is recommended and you can pay the fees using ETH on Base

2. Government ID Verification

   • More robust verification using government-issued ID

   • Provides the same voting access as phone verification

   • Also available across multiple networks

⚠️ After obtaining your SBT, send the transaction hash to our moderators and we will refund the paid fees as soon as possible ⚠️

Important Notes:

• 🔒 Privacy Protected: The verification process uses zero-knowledge proofs, meaning your personal information is never exposed

• ✅ One-Time Process: Once verified, you can participate in all future proposals

• 🌐 Cross-Network: Verification on any supported network (Ethereum, Optimism, Avalanche, Aurora) is valid

• ⚡ Instant Effect: Once verified, you can immediately participate in voting

Verification Process:

1. Connect your wallet to the dApp

2. Click on "Vote" and click on the link to verify your uniqueness

3. You will be redirected to silksecure.net (also part of Holonym)

4. Choose your preferred verification method (phone or government ID)

5. Complete the verification process

6. Once verified, you can participate in voting proposals

7. Your voting power will be automatically calculated using the quadratic formula in the dApp

Remember: This verification system helps ensure that all voting remains fair and resistant to manipulation, maintaining the integrity of our community's decision-making process.
