Proof of Life
SyncID uses a computer vision model to convert a human palm into a secure and private digital identifier. This biometric signature, enables accurate identification and authentication of users.
Our Vision
With SyncID we've created an identity solution that offers a seamless experience across Web2 and Web3 while providing human-level authentication for dApps and keeping users in control of their data.
With Palm Recognition we're building one of the largest networks of verified human beings using Sybil-Resitant Identities (SyncID)
The purpose of this mechanism isn’t to judge “who you are,” but simply to verify that you are a human being and that “you are who you claim to be.”
Why does the whole blockchain ecosystem need this
Sybil resistance is extremely important for preventing fraud and manipulation in decentralized networks by ensuring that each participant is a unique and legitimate entity. It upholds fairness and trust in critical systems like voting, token distribution, and resource allocation.
To achieve this, we’ve developed a novel method that transforms the human palm into a secure, private, and provable identity. This method leverages the intricate and unique patterns of skin lines and creases found on every individual’s palm, providing a highly reliable form of identification.
Potential use cases:
Human-Centric DAOs: Ensures fair, decentralized governance with one-person-one-vote integrity.
Fairdrops: Prevents Sybil attacks, ensuring fair airdrop participation.
RWA Tokenization: Enables verified human ownership of physical assets, unlocking financial applications like credit profiles and loans.
Cost-Effective KYC: Simplifies KYC by verifying identities without storing personal data.
Online/Offline Authentication: Provides seamless access to services with single authentication.
Social Media Networks: Promotes authentic interactions by blocking bots and fake accounts.
and many more....
This approach strengthens overall security and supports decentralization by ensuring that participants are human. This increases integrity and reliability while preserving security and anonymity
How Palm Pinning Works
SyncID offers a simple and secure way to manage digital identity using palm recognition technology:
Palm Scan: Users scan their palm using a camera module inside sync webapp.
Conversion to Digital Identifier: The SyncID node converts the unique patterns of the user's palm into a secure digital identifier, creating a unique hash.
Secure Storage: The digital identifier is stored securely using zero-knowledge (ZK-Snarks) proofs for authentication purposes.
Key Features
Ease of Use: The palm scanning process is quick and user-friendly.
High Security: Zero-knowledge technology ensures the secure storage and use of the digital identifier.
Accurate Identification: The unique hash provides a highly accurate method for identifying and authenticating users.
Proof of Life Verification: Provides a non-KYC method to authenticate users, ensuring that a real and unique person is behind the identifier.
Digital identity is becoming increasingly important, SyncID’s innovative approach to biometric authentication provides a robust, user-friendly solution. By balancing security, accuracy, and privacy with proof of life verification, we aim to set a new standard for digital identity management.
