User Proof Membership allows Token Bound Accounts to create and verify group memberships without revealing personal data. Our system uses an NFT that is minted with a zero knowledge proof verification process, ensuring privacy.
User Proof Membership enables users to create and verify NFT proofs while keeping their personal data private. With our platform, those who hold an ERC-6551 Non-Fungible Token Bound Account can prove their membership in a group or their proof-of-humanity without revealing their personal data.
For example, imagine Alice is a member of the Nouns DAO with wallet A, but she doesn't want to share that wallet's information for privacy reasons. Using our user dashboard and Sismo Data Vault, Alice can prove that she's a Nouns DAO member without disclosing wallet A. We then send the NFT certificate to Alice's Token Bound Account, wallet B. Now, Alice can prove her membership with our NFT certificate, which has been verified through zero-knowledge proof with the Sismo Data Groups, without revealing which member she is.
It may be useful to transfer ownership of a membership token for a brief period. For example, consider the case of Nouns where 2 tokens are required to submit a proposal. Although one can delegate votes, an interesting approach to take would be to associate proposals with the specific Nouns used. This way, rather than a particular person making proposals, a particular Nouns is making the proposal. Another use case could be a temporary membership into a community. Perhaps a newcomer is hesitant to spend a large sum to enter a community, and an existing community member can lend them the membership for a trial period.
mint
function performs the proof check, and marks which vaultIDs have been already claimed to prevent sybil attacks. The lend
exposes functionality which transfers the token to another recipient up to a specific expiry date. Upon expiry, anyone can call the reclaim
function to return the token to the original lender.
