This leads to wrong results, and loss of trust in the petition. Changeth prevents this by requiring every user to authenticate with their Gitcoin Passport, World ID or another proof-of-humanity system. This ensures that every signature belongs to a real human, making the petition more trustworthy.\n\nPrivacy is a human right, and is paramount especially when signing petitions which are deemed controversial. Currently, if an authority or independent auditor needs to verify a petition, the organizer must disclose the names or IDs of the signatories, leading to complete loss of privacy. With the help of zero-knowledge proofs, and the wonderful Semaphore protocol, we are able to prove that a certain number of people have signed a petition without disclosing who those people are.\n\nPutting it all together: with Changeth, organizers can create petitions that can only be signed by real humans, while keeping their identities private. \n\n# Roadmap\nWe currently have proof-of-concept contracts and a simple frontend to verify the basic assumptions our project builds on. In our next steps, we are going to:\n\n1. Finish the contracts and frontend to enable creating and managing petitions\n2. Enable signing of petitions without requirements\n3. Enable hard sybil-resistance by integrating World ID\n4. Enable soft sybil-resistance by integrating Gitcoin Passport\n5. Enable private donations to petitions by integrating zkBob, or a similar private stablecoin transfer protocol.", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "changedoteth", "projectTwitter": "changeth_pgf"}
