We are delighted to announce the launch of an exciting new mission on Verida Missions, building on our partnerships with GateKeeper and Polygon ID. This mission aims to demonstrate the remarkable potential of verifiable credentials (VC) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP). Join us as we explore the world of issuers and verifiers within the Polygon ID ecosystem.

The Power of Verifiable Credentials and Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are digital representations of proof that validate specific attributes or qualifications held by individuals or organizations. Trusted entities issue these credentials, which are securely stored in digital wallets. VCs empower users to selectively disclose relevant information without compromising their privacy, ensuring data protection and security.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are cryptographic protocols that enable individuals to prove the authenticity of certain statements without revealing any sensitive information. With ZKPs, users can demonstrate knowledge of specific data or attributes without disclosing the underlying details, thereby safeguarding confidentiality and privacy.

Now, let’s delve into the details of the mission.

Mission 2: Leverage Credentials and Zero-Knowledge with Polygon ID

This mission highlights the Verida Wallet’s support for Polygon ID in receiving and storing Verifiable Credentials. Moreover, it demonstrates how these credentials can be presented to third parties using Zero-Knowledge Proofs, ensuring privacy and confidentiality.

The GateKeeper Adopter Credential is a special opportunity for participants to showcase their early pioneering involvement with GateKeeper. By claiming this credential, you will hold evidence that establishes your status as an early adopter. Prove you own this credential with the Verida Wallet to earn 100 XP as part of the Verida Missions incentivized testnet.

To get started, head over to Verida Missions.

This collaboration between GateKeeper, Polygon ID, and Verida opens up opportunities for the wider adoption of verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs. By participating in this mission, you contribute to the advancement of decentralized identity solutions and help shape the future of secure data exchange.

We encourage everyone interested in privacy-focused data management to participate in this mission and leverage the power of Polygon ID to explore the possibilities of verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs.

Stay tuned for more exciting developments and partnerships as we continue to grow the Verida ecosystem.
