Zero-knowledge proofs for social identity: proving who you are without revealing who you are
Q1I've been working on ZK proof systems for social identity. The core idea: you should be able to prove properties about yourself (I'm over 18, I have a verified email, I've been an active member for 2 years) without revealing your actual identity data. This would let platforms verify trust signals without collecting sensitive data.
Q2Transferable reputation is exactly what I'm building first. The specific design: users generate ZK proofs of their activity metrics (post count, engagement quality, account age) from platform A, and present them to platform B. Platform B can verify the proof without contacting Platform A and without learning the user's identity on Platform A.
