WhatA cryptographic identity and proof-of-personhood system that lets users prove they are real humans to services without tying verification to a specific hardware vendor or revealing their identity.
SignalCommenters are deeply frustrated that attestation is becoming a de facto identity system that ties online participation to specific hardware, threatening both privacy and speech — they want to prove humanness without being tracked or locked into a vendor.
Why NowAge verification laws are proliferating globally, AI-generated content is making bot detection harder, and governments are mandating attestation for more services — creating massive demand for a privacy-respecting alternative before the window closes.
MarketAny service needing bot prevention or identity verification — from social platforms to banks to government portals. TAM overlaps with the $15B+ identity verification market. Competitors like Worldcoin exist but have major privacy and adoption concerns.
MoatNetwork effects — the more services and users that adopt the identity layer, the more valuable it becomes; plus cryptographic protocol standards are sticky once adopted.
