Project Description

WhiZper is an innovative cryptonym social media mobile app designed to provide users with a safe and anonymous platform to build communities, discuss sensitive topics, and express genuine opinions without fear. In an era where social media is integral to our lives, platforms like Discord, X, Reddit, WhatsApp, and Telegram connect us with like-minded professionals, friends, fans, and hackers. However, these opportunities are not equally accessible to everyone, particularly in regions with stringent censorship and privacy concerns.

According to the World Economic Forum, support for free expression varies globally. While North America and Europe enjoy greater freedoms, the Middle East and Asia face significant restrictions. Despite the UN's recognition of ""freedom of speech"" as a fundamental human right, censorship in some regions exposes individuals to safety risks. Additionally, the misuse of personal data by mainstream social media platforms and growing privacy concerns, even with regulations like GDPR, highlight the need for a secure alternative.

Key Objectives and Motives:

šŸ”’ Ensure Anonymity: Provide a platform where users can express themselves without revealing their identity.

šŸŒ Global Accessibility: Make free expression possible for users in regions with stringent censorship.

šŸ“ˆ Optimize User Experience: Leverage mobile app advantages such as instant notifications, smooth performance, and integration with native mobile features.

šŸ”§ Leverage Zero-Knowledge Technology: Use zk technology to enhance privacy and security.

šŸ“Š Secure Data Handling: Utilize Privado ID for secure login and credential management, and collaborate with layer 2 providers in the Ethereum ecosystem for on-chain data processing.

šŸš€ Promote Privacy Awareness: Address privacy concerns raised by mainstream social media misuse and advocate for secure communication.

WhiZper represents the future of social media, prioritizing privacy and freedom of expression, and offering a truly anonymous platform for users worldwide to create secret communities and speak freely.

How it's Made

In the user interface part, we leverage Privado ID and facial recognition to create user login details. Polygon also helps create credentials for users to form and join groups. For on-chain data, to maximize our accessibility and facilitate collaboration in the Ethereum ecosystem, we are collaborating with various layer 2 providers, such as Arbitrum, Zircuit, ApeCoin, Scroll and BASE. To fetch data from the chain and deploy it correctly in the interface, we use The Graph to streamline the process.
