What is Proof of Personhood (PoP)?
Civic Proof of Personhood establishes that a wallet belongs to a unique individual and that each individual only has one wallet.
What is Civic Proof of Personhood and how does it work?
Civic Proof of Personhood establishes that a wallet belongs to a unique individual and that each individual only has one wallet. Civic Passes are non-transferable tokens that reside in a user’s wallet and are issued after a user’s credentials are verified.
To establish Proof of Personhood, an individual wallet is identified as belonging to a unique human. Wallet owners complete a live video selfie to prove their personhood. The owners re-authenticate periodically to maintain a high degree of certainty that the wallet is not later associated with an AI agent or bot. This process provides a more effective way for dApps to screen out AI and protect their services from abuse.
Who should use Civic Proof of Personhood?
Proof of Personhood was designed for organizations that need a high degree of certainty around whether a wallet is operated by AI, including trading bot suppression, Sybil resistance and DAO voting. For dApps building trust within their communities, Proof of Personhood establishes assurance around community members’ humanity and can also be established and managed on-chain.
Is Proof of Personhood already in use?
Proof of Personhood fits neatly into Civic’s suite of identity and access management tools, called the Civic Pass Platform. To date, more than 140,000 unique individuals have already established their Proof of Personhood across 10 blockchains.
As a business, how can I issue or manage Civic Passes?
dApps may manage user access to their services with the Civic Pass Platform, according to preset or custom requirements. Custom Civic Passes may be issued, frozen and revoked on a Civic dashboard. The Civic Pass product suite includes CAPTCHA, liveness, uniqueness, age, location, identity document and custom verifications.
As a user, how can I manage my Proof of Personhood verification?
A Civic Pass can be managed by users on Civic.me, Civic’s identity management consumer platform. Users may also add and link wallets to their digital identity on the platform.
What blockchains do you support?
Civic Pass is supported on Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Fantom, Optimism, Polygon, Polygon zkEVM, Solana, and XDC.
