Interesting. Genuine question: how does zk proofs mitigate against Sybil attacks especially in crypto space? Regardless of that, great work!

- mattdesl 5y agoI'm not sure ZK proof alone solves this, but seems integral to Sybil resistant systems that operate on personhood/identity, as it allows you to prove your identity (or that your personhood meets some criteria, like an age limit) without revealing any additional information about yourself. See [1][2]. A contrived example is an NFT drop that only allows you to claim 1 token per identity proof.
