Passport-enabled airdrops

Problem statement​

Token airdrops are a popular method for launching new crypto projects. However, they often face challenges like abuse by bots or Sybil accounts. Additionally, legal requirements such as citizenship and age verification can be a hurdle. While centralized KYC providers can address these issues, they contradict the decentralized nature of the Web3 space.

Rarimo stands out with its unique privacy-preserving proof of passport solution. It harnesses the power of biometric passports and zero-knowledge proofs to provide robust airdrop protection.

Proof of Passport allows airdrop organizers to:

  • Verify personhood using Proof of Passport Validity
  • Prevent sybil airdrop farming by using Proof of Uniqueness
  • Restrict access for risky countries using Proof of Citizenship
  • Set minimum age requirements using Proof of Age
