Imagine @OpenbandsXYZ is doing exactly this via @SelfProtocol
imagine you could prove you’re over 18 without showing your birthday, your name, or your address just: yes, i’m legit and that’s all anyone ever sees that’s zk

So excited to join the @SelfProtocol Residency in SF! I’ll be joining with @OpenbandsXYZ to explore how we can integrate passport-based credentials that let users participate in anonymous forum discussions based on nationality. Thank you to @ericnakagawa @marek_, and the Celo team for this amazing opportunity🙏
The first wave of Self ZK Residency mentors have entered the chat 👀 @pumatheuma (Co-Founder & CEO, @SuccinctLabs), @sreeramkannan (Founder, @eigenlayer) & @danboneh (Cryptography Professor, @Stanford) are joining to support builders scaling zkPoH & ID verifcation solutions

Follow us and help build a future where the human right to privacy is deeply woven into the fabric of our society.
The next generation of digital communities won’t be built at the cost of privacy. They’ll be built on trust without exposure. We’re bridging real-world attestations and on-chain verification to make anonymous communities verifiable, safe, and human again.
but also opens the gate to combine attributes and create unique communities like never before! Examples: > US citizens + over 21 years old > Women + employed at company X > Token balance over X + resident of country Y
This not only enables authentic communities and use cases like: Web3 projects: > Build genuine relationships with verified token holders. Employees: > Safely discuss culture, policies, layoffs, and pay. Citizens: > Participate in polls, petitions, and civic initiatives.
Users can prove attestations and join groups with people who share the same attributes. These can include: > Nationality > Age > Gender > Company affiliation > Bank statements > Token balance > NFT ownership The list goes on...
After speaking with great minds from @ethereumfndn @PrivacyEthereum @aztecnetwork, and many more, we are excited to share what's new. We are building a proof-of-membership forum! A trusted place where you can join verified communities without sacrificing your privacy.

Digital communities are supposed to connect us. But they force a trade-off: > Give up privacy for trust > Or choose anonymity and lose authenticity We believe that’s a false dilemma. Read🧵👇
