This integration will leverage zero-knowledge proofs to verify human uniqueness without compromising user privacy, significantly enhancing trust in our platform's voting results while maintaining a seamless user experience. The G$ Identity verification aligns perfectly with our mission of creating truly democratic funding mechanisms where communities can make collective decisions with confidence that each vote represents a genuine human perspective, ultimately ensuring resources flow to the most valued initiatives without manipulation or disproportionate influence from any single participant.", "hidden": true, "question": "Project Description: Briefly describe your project and how it enhances G$ utility or adoption", "questionId": 0}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Technical Implementation with GoodDollar\n\nIntegration Approach\n\nOur implementation will integrate the GoodDollar Identity SDK as an optional security feature that campaign administrators can enable, particularly for high-stake voting campaigns:\n\nCampaign-Level Configuration: Campaign admins will have the ability to toggle G$ Identity verification requirements when creating or configuring campaigns. This feature will be especially valuable for campaigns with significant voting power or funding amounts.\n\nConfigurable Verification Thresholds: Admins can set different verification requirements based on vote multiplier levels - for example, requiring G$ Identity verification only for votes with 3x multiplier or higher, ensuring that high-impact votes come from verified unique humans.\n\nSmart Contract Integration: We'll extend our campaign creation contracts to include optional verification flags that, when enabled, require validated G$ Identity proofs for specific voting actions.\n\nEnhanced Voting Flow for Verified Campaigns:\n\nUser connects wallet to Sovereign Seas\n\nUser selects desired vote multiplier\n\nIf multiplier exceeds admin-defined threshold AND verification is enabled for the campaign, user is prompted to complete G$ Identity verification\n\nUpon successful verification, user receives a credential token\n\nWhen voting, this credential is cryptographically verified without exposing personal data\n\nSmart contract validates the credential before processing high-multiplier votes\n\nTechnical Components\n\nAdmin Configuration Panel: Add G$ Identity verification toggles and threshold settings to the campaign creation interface\n\nFrontend Integration: Incorporate the G$ Identity SDK conditionally based on campaign settings and vote multiplier selections\n\nSmart Contract Enhancements: Extend campaign creation parameters to include verification requirements flags\n\nConditional Verification Logic: Build logic that applies G$ Identity verification only when required by campaign settings\n\nZero-Knowledge Proof Handling: Implement cryptographic verification of G$ Identity proofs without storing sensitive user data\n\nImplementation Timeline\n\nPhase 1 (Weeks 1-2)\n\nSet up development environment with G$ Identity SDK\n\nExtend campaign creation interface with verification option toggles\n\nDesign conditional verification architecture\n\nPhase 2 (Weeks 3-4)\n\nFrontend integration of verification components and admin controls\n\nImplementation of conditional verification logic\n\nUpdate smart contracts to include verification flag parameters\n\nPhase 3 (Weeks 5-6)\n\nComplete smart contract modifications for conditional verification\n\nIntegration testing with G$ Identity system\n\nTesting of different campaign configurations and thresholds\n\nPhase 4 (Weeks 7-8)\n\nTestnet deployment with complete G$ Identity integration\n\nAdmin panel testing with various configuration scenarios\n\nFeedback collection from campaign creators\n\nPhase 5 (Weeks 9-10)\n\nSecurity review and performance optimization\n\nMainnet deployment of G$ Identity-enhanced voting system\n\nDocumentation for campaign admins on when to enable verification", "hidden": true, "question": "Technical Implementation: Describe your approach and how it integrates with GoodDollar.
