1. Initiate the process
  • Click on "Claim your NFT."

  • Connect your wallet and sign the message.

  • Allow camera access for facial scanning.

The goal is to connect your wallet and grant necessary permissions to begin the minting process with the Proof of Personhood (PoP) challenge. Validating a PoP challenge and proving humanity and uniqueness is required to mint your Reputation NFT.

2. Proof of Personhood (PoP) creation
  • Captcha verification: Check the captcha to confirm "I'm a human."

  • Privacy policy: Accept the privacy policy.

  • Face scan: Click "Scan my face." If using a smartphone, select "Snap with my smartphone."

  • FaceGraph edition: The system enhances and verifies your unique facial graph.

  • PoP issuance: Receive your official PoP certification, confirming your unique identity on the blockchain.

This phase verifies that the user is a real human through steps including captcha, privacy policy acceptance, and face scanning. The face scan is instantly converted into a Face Graph, an encrypted vector graph that serves as the raw material for your Proof of Personhood (PoP). This non-biometric proof method ensures that no biometric data is stored and the Face Graph cannot be used to recreate someone's face.

3. Minting your SBT
  • PoP authentication: The system verifies your PoP to begin the SBT minting process.

  • Duplicate account detection: Automated checks ensure that a same user can’t mint multiple NFTs with multiple accounts.

  • Minting fee: Pay a $1 fee (except on Polygon where it's currently free) in the blockchain's native token.

  • Final mint: Once authenticated and fee paid, mint your NFT. Congratulations! Verify it on the blockchain explorer using your wallet address.

This step uses the previously created PoP and its related Face Graph to grant access to the Reputation NFT mint, ensuring the uniqueness and legitimacy of each users. Thanks to this system, only one Reputation NFT is issued by user by chain.

Maintaining your reputation

1. Bi-weekly mint to level up
  • Every two weeks, re-authenticate your PoP with a face scan to level up your SBT. The higher the level, the more reliable your on-chain reputation.

This process ensures ongoing verification, making it difficult for anyone to falsely mint a Reputation NFT in your name repeatedly. You must validate a new PoP challenge to mint your Reputation NFT regularly. As this revalidation becomes increasingly challenging to falsify, it ensures that only the original person can pass the verification. This added layer of security significantly reduces the likelihood of others impersonating you and enhances the integrity of your onchain reputation.

2. Deletion after inactivity
  • Inactive SBTs are deleted after two months without activity, promoting active participation and keeping the data current.

Promotes active participation and keeps data current, ensuring that only active and verified users remain part of the ecosystem.

By following these steps, you ensure that your on-chain identity is secure, verifiable, and unique, contributing to a more trustworthy and Sybil-resistant Web3 ecosystem.
