Passport XYZ boosts web3 reputation with Civic's solutions

An identity and Sybil defense solution for web3

Challenge

Real users only. As a proof of humanity and reputation tool for dApps and web3 projects, Passport XYZ needs to provide a robust identity and Sybil defense solution that helps identify real users and keeps bots at bay.

Solution

Unlocking the power of biometrics verification. Civic Passes stand out among Passport XYZ's verification signals, as they are the only biometric-based option and one of the highest-scoring signals. They contribute a valuable dimension to reputation and humanity scoring that no other credential offers.

Implementation

Streamlined integration with Civic's help. Passport XYZ opted for a slim integration with Civic, with Civic deploying code directly and providing ongoing support and analysis.

Outcome

Improvements to reputation scoring efficiency. Because projects using Passport XYZ's verification signals can define their own scoring threshold, Civic's high scores allow users to quickly meet scoring thresholds with minimal friction.

Robust Sybil defense.
By implementing Civic Passes, Passport XYZ effectively blocks bots and Sybils, ensuring that only real users are verified.

Unique biometric advantage.
Civic is the only provider of biometric signals within Passport XYZ's verification framework, offering a distinct edge in identifying real versus fake users.

Nearly 700k Civic Passes issued
as of November 2024.

“Civic has been a fantastic partner, delivering cost-effective, user-friendly Proof of Personhood services to our users. We’ve enjoyed working closely with their team to combat Sybil threats to the ecosystem."
