Ensuring Voter Identity & Preventing Fraud
Verifying real people while maintaining privacy and decentralization
Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) Systems
A Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) system ensures that each voter is a unique human without requiring a central authority to verify identities.
Unique Biometric Verification
One-time facial scan, palm vein scan, or fingerprint verification with a hashing method that ensures no biometric data is stored on our servers.
Web of Trust & Social Verification
Users must be verified by existing trusted members. Once verified, they can vouch for others, creating a trust network that reduces the risk of bots or fake identities.
Unique Device Verification
Users sign votes using cryptographic hardware wallets or secure mobile devices, preventing multiple accounts per person while maintaining anonymity.
Balancing Privacy & Verification
The challenge in any democratic system is verifying uniqueness without violating anonymity. Our platform addresses this through:
- Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) that allow identity verification without revealing personal data
- Combining multiple verification methods to ensure robust security without centralization
- Transparent processes that can be audited by the community
By implementing these measures, we create a system that maintains the integrity of each vote while preserving the privacy and autonomy of each voter.
