Sybil-resistance using private crypto biometrics (non KYC)

Hey Nervous team, I’m Fares from Humanode.io ,

We are building Sybil-resistance using private crypto biometrics for the past 4 years. We believe we can explore synergies and see if we could integrate in any way on or off chain.

We recently deployed cross chain biomapper, a dapp that binds any wallet addresses to an private unique individual (non KYC, no personally identifiable data collected) Soon, with Axelar integration we can go to EVM and non EVM chains. Do you think we can have a chat?

I’ll leave below the documentation for Biomapper, but we do have other off chain products for filtering multi accounts. About Humanode Biomapper - Humanode Biomapper Docs

Thanks for coming by!

Not sure how much you know about CKB, it’s a generalized UTXO based chain with a RISC-V VM which can support any cryptography. There is an identity solution deployed https://d.id which you might be interested in. I can drop some links, let me know what interests you!

Your project seems interesting but quite novel, it will be good to understand more. If you’ll entertain a few questions I think it will help to steer us.

  1. Is the ownership of HMND absoloutely necessary to utilze the product? This could be a significant adoption impediment.

  2. Would Axelar support be needed on CKB to utilize your project?

  3. What are the details around users having to periodically repeat the attestation process? Has it seemed burdensome to them?

  4. I couldn’t find any information about the Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM), anything you can share?

Appreciate your interest in building on CKB!

Hey Matt,

Appreciate your fast response, would be happy to answer your questions.
Firstly I had a look at D.id and would love to connect with their team if that would be something you could help me with. Altough we are very different, they are an Identity solution based on ‘‘a fee’’, not having any kind of Sybil-resistance, from what I understand anyone can mint as many ID’s as he wants as long as he pays the $ value of the DID. Cool, but not Sybil-resistant, altough we could help them provide private biometrics as alternative for having 1 human 1 ID use case.

Now coming back to your questions:

  1. Not after Axelar/Squid integration which is in the works (1month eta) users will be able to pay the fee in any token really.
  2. Yes and No, depending if we go for an onchain solution then yes, but we also have off chain solutions like Discord/Telegram integrations (these are absolutely free of costs, no payments needed for anything and no devs efforts to integrate)
  3. We reset our CVM’s every 6 months to be compliant with all regulations and also to make tech updates as per biometric provider updates, these are critical to maintain high accuracy, safety and integrity of service.
  4. Here is about our CVM’s, but if you need the data flow/protection in Humanode services like Biomapper/Botbasher I can certainly guide you to those also. https://cvm.humanode.io/

Let me know if the above answered your questions and if you think we can connect further :slight_smile:
