What is Human Passport?

Human Passport is a decentralized identity (DID) platform designed to provide users with a single, reusable, and secure web3 identity. It allows individuals and organizations to manage their digital identities, permissions, and credentials across multiple platforms in a privacy-preserving manner.

What was the Sybil Resistance Strategy implemented by Gitcoin in GG22?

There were two key components:

• Connection-oriented cluster matching (COCM): This method analyzed donation patterns to identify the “uniqueness” of donations and reduce the impact of airdrop farmers or Sybil attackers who donate to the same projects repeatedly.
• Human Passport’s Model Based Detection: This tool reviewed the onchain history of donors to boost the influence of users with legitimate onchain activities across multiple chains, increasing their contribution to the matching pool.

Together, these methods increased the accuracy of fund distribution by an estimated 20%.

Did Sybil resistance mean new wallets couldn’t qualify for matching?

Wallets without significant onchain history may not have contributed to matching funds in GG22, but their donations still went directly to the projects they supported.

How did quadratic funding work in GG22?

Quadratic Funding prioritizes broad community support. A larger number of unique donors boosts the amount matched by the funding pool, making every contribution valuable, especially small donations from more donors.

How did Human Passport use donations?

Donations helped enhance the platform by supporting development of new features, improving security, and expanding decentralized identity solutions to make web3 safer and more accessible for everyone.
