Abstract:
This talk will go into the inner workings of Self Protocol (
self.xyz), a novel fully audited zkPassport protocol that launched earlier this year. In addition to passports, Self now supports Biometric ID cards as well as Aadhaar IDs. It's used by Aave and Velodrome
for boosting rewards for real humans, and is actively being integrated into three new offerings at Google Cloud.
