Passport reduced sybil fraud in Gitcoin’s flagship funding program by x%.
Gitcoin Grants is the largest web3 quadratic funding platform, processing over $1.5MM in grants every quarter. Funds are distributed democratically from a matching pool such that projects with a higher number of donations get more funds— returning power back to the people, instead of concentrating it in the hands of a few whales. Preventing sybil attacks, where bad actors spread funds across multiple wallets to donate to the same project, is a top priority: quadratic funding’s integrity rests on it! Passport, unveiled during Grants Round 14, has supercharged Gitcoin’s fraud defense efforts through streamlining the verification mechanism for trust bonus— a multiplier based on the credibility of someone’s profile that makes them eligible for higher matching contributions.
Gitcoin Passport will allow us to drastically improve our ability to prove that each account which participates in a Grants round is unique, in whatever way a community would like to define a unique identity. Most importantly, Passport does this in an ethical way, which should be expected of a leader in Web3.
