π₯AURORITY x OUTDID AMAπ₯

Full Transcription
Hi, guys.
I'm May, community builders with Aurority.
We update the latest information on Auroras about the ecosystems.
Analyzed data, analyzed projects, provide instructional content, support users on how to use and integrate into the ecosystems.
Welcome to a wonderful AMA with Audit.
And as you know, as you know, it's a second AMA with you.
We dropped out last year, we dropped out last year, we dropped out last year to pursue our vision of a more private, decentralized world.
And here we are, and here we are, and here we are, and here we are, and here we are today, which in its current form is a fully private identity verification solution for companies.
And I know that identity, and I know that identity, and I know that identity, and I know that identity verification solutions are now some kind of buzzwords.
But trust me, but trust me, and there are many differences between them, and if you want to be a responsible user in the Web3 space, I think that you need to know, you need to have at least some basic understanding of how different providers secure and store and take care overall of your personal data.
So, that's kind of it, in a nutshell.
So, can you also take the question from the live community here?
Of course, of course, sure.
Okay, let's go into it.
So, our first question is, can you tell us more about what Audit is?
Sure.
So, when I try to explain what Audit is, it really depends on the audience.
But right now, I'm going to choose to go with the more, let's say, middle ground solution.
So, I'm going to explain it with a few technical words, but also simple enough so everyone can understand.
So, basically, Audit is an end-to-end private identity verification system.
So, we address the problem of doing privacy-intrusive identity and KYC checks.
I think you know what KYC is, know your customer.
Where not all information is really required by the business verifying its users.
So, basically, what we do, we help companies to reduce cost and data liabilities because they don't have to store your data on their site.
And, in the same time, we shield the user from the risk of identity fraud or over-identification.
And, here comes the example of, and I don't know if you knew about that, but 1 in 10 Americans have their identity stolen every year in America.
So, 10% of all Americans have their identity stolen in America, and most of them never find out.
Really?
About this fact.
Yes.
Yeah.
And, so, that's a pretty big problem, right?
And, this comes from the fact that there are huge honeypots of data, right?
Because, every time you check yourself in order to access a service or to buy a product, and you send your data to a third party to verify who you are, that data remains somewhere stored.
For, sometimes for a day, sometimes for a week, sometimes for a few years.
So, that sucks, I know.
And, from a more technological point of view, we are using zero-knowledge proofs.
So, we extract, the app extracts attestations directly from the government-issued documents.
So, we work with passports, with identity documents, without the involvement of the third party I just told you about.
And, I think we're going to dig a little bit deeper in this a bit later.
So, we're going to just take it step by step.
While, having this process instant in enrollment, and trustless in nature.
So, you don't have to trust anyone.
I know it looks a little bit utopic, but we're going to figure it out together.
Sure works.
So, that's really amazing.
So, let's switch back to our audience, how our audience hears.
Let me give Tristan Matthews a chance to ask the audience a question today.
Welcome, Tristan Matthews, to the AMA today.
What is your question for the audience?
All right.
Now, you are at it at the speakers.
Hello, can you hear me?
You're audible.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, my question is, what is your plan in the near future?
Do you have any strategy to attract a new investor to your platform and keep them long time?
So, there is no need for us to attract investors to our platform because we don't work with investors.
For, like, partnership-wise, this is not our target.
We work with companies which need to verify different proofs, different facts about their users.
And, but if you refer to an investment round, just keep an eye on our Twitter page and we're going to discuss these things.
So, we're going to announce some big news next month.
Yeah.
If you don't mind, I have one question.
Sure.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, partnership is always an important factor for every project.
Partnership you guys dream is a great one.
So, how can we individually benefit from it?
So, do you mean how you can benefit from us partnering with a specific company?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, basically, what's going to happen is the first time you're going to verify with our app is going to take around one minute.
Let's say, even less.
It depends on how fast you can use your phone.
And, the more partnerships we have with companies, the easiest is going to be for you to prove different things about yourself because next time you have to prove that you're over 18 or that you are from Germany or that you are who you say you are, then it's just going to be one click away.
It's going to be that easy.
So, the more partnerships we have, the easiest for people will be to prove things about themselves.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
All right.
Thank you, Tracy.
May, do you think it's a better idea to keep the questions at the end of your questions?
Because I might respond to most of the questions people have, and then they can ask additional questions.
Oh, sure.
So, let's back to the questions we got here and then switch to audience.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's easier.
Okay.
The next question is, what are some of the use cases?
Use cases.
Yeah.
So, basically, at the moment, we can help projects with proof of personhood.
So, projects can block bots or second accounts.
So, we're not going to have any more spam in our Discord channels, Telegram channels, Twitter, AMAs, and so on.
Because if people, okay, this is only if we integrate with that specific community, right?
So, I really believe in this use case, because I'm very tired of being spammed all the time.
And I think you are, too, everyone here.
So, I can't wait to see this happen.
Then, another use case is proof of age.
If you want to access a specific service, or if you want to buy something, you need to be over 18 or over 21, depending on the country.
Then, we can also help companies with proof of citizenship.
So, your project can only serve allowed jurisdictions or reliably blacklist others.
Because, in the way audit works, we are also VPN proof.
And the projects can also verify many other specific facts about their users.
Most information which can be found in people's identity documents.
Like, name, sometimes different projects want to know that the name that the user wanted to use on their platform is their actual name from their identity document.
And so on.
So, we can play around the data we can extract from identity documents.
Absolutely.
So, let's go ahead and jump to another question about Advantage.
So, the question is, what is Audit's advantage over its competitors in the market?
Yeah, that's the favorite question of everyone.
How is our project different?
So, first of all, thank you to everyone for all the reactions.
You're very lovely and I really appreciate that.
And coming back to your question, May.
So, the main differentiator from the other projects is obviously the privacy aspect.
And the person who is concerned about privacy in general must understand this major difference between identity verification providers.
Because in the future, in the very near future, you're going to be able to choose what provider you want to choose to prove to a specific company that you are overeating, for example.
You're going to be able to choose between different providers.
And it's important for you to know what makes it, what makes the difference between them.
Because it's about your personal data here, right?
So, you don't want mistakes to happen.
So, what happens is, every time you want to buy a product or access a service which needs your identity, the process itself consists of two steps.
And this is super important.
Two steps.
Onboarding and proving.
Onboarding means that, first, the user sends their identity document to a third party, which verifies it, right?
You remember that.
When you want to buy something online and you have to prove that you're over 18, you have to first send a photo of your identity card somewhere.
For someone to say that, yeah, this identity card is valid, this person has the required age, and so on.
This is what I mean by third party.
Someone has to check that your document is okay.
This step usually, in most of the times, doesn't preserve the user's privacy, right?
Because you have to send the identity document somewhere.
Then, that third party issues the user with some certificate, which they can use to prove that they have been verified.
So, this is where the second step comes in place, where you have now, now that a third party verified that you're over 18, for example,
now, the second step is that you have to send to the alcohol company, for example, that you're over 18.
This is called proving.
You have to prove to them that you have the age, the required age to buy alcohol, for example.
Many projects add privacy in this second stage of the process, right?
Because they say, yeah, but the users can prove, they can send these proofs to what company they want, when they want,
they can delete the data after that, and so on.
So, this step is sometimes private.
But the problem is on the second step, when someone has to send that identity document to a third party to be verified, right?
So, this is what sets Audit apart.
We found a way to verify identity documents in full zero knowledge without asking the user to send the identity document to any third party, not even to us.
The user simply generates a zero...
Okay, it sounds very complicated, but in the app, it's just going to be a button.
But what happens in that button is, when you press that button, the user simply generates a ZK proof, a zero knowledge proof, that their document is valid, which happens locally on their phone.
So, no personal data leaves the device, it's kept in your phone, like your notes.
Nobody can access your notes, right?
So, it's locally, the data is locally stored in the phone, and the proof is then verified by DAOs, by projects.
Because when you send the proof from the phone, you don't send the fact that, yes, I am Anna, and I'm over 18.
You just send that this user has been verified, and the user is over 18.
Nothing else.
Only the information that's required.
So, and another aspect is that most of the so-called competitors are actually potential partners, as we can help them onboard people in a private manner.
So, because usually projects use third parties, more third parties, so we can just be one of that third party, which is not really a third party, because the user does everything by himself or by herself, without the help of anyone.
Yeah, amazing.
So, the things actually make all this stand out is the initial onboarding staff, so users don't need to send their ID documents to any third party, but they will do this step by themselves in a more private way, using ZK, right?
Yeah, exactly.
So, let's move to another question I got here, and the question is, what as a major achievement target audit is yet to achieve?
Yes, so, well, it really depends.
Right now, we are also exploring a little bit, because sometimes our project, our company is too private for some specific use cases.
So, let's say that the near major achievement for us is deploying our app in real-world use cases, which will happen in around one month from now, and then the long-term vision and major achievement for us is more complex, let's say, but it basically encapsulates things like protecting kids online or removing bots from social interactions and so on.
So, okay, let's move on to the next question, which is also an interesting one, about challenges that you have been through.
So, the question is, what is the difficulty you have been faced during the development of audit?
Right, many, actually.
For everyone who is building a startup or who is part of a startup right now, I guess you know the main challenges.
So, for us, more specifically, let's split the question into the business side and the technological side.
So, business-wise, it was a challenge at the beginning, so a few months ago, to find partners who believe in a world focused on people's privacy as much as we did.
So, I know it sounds strange, but you'd be surprised how many companies claim to care about protecting their users, their users' data, personal data, when, in fact, this is not the case.
So, these companies, they would very easily reduce the privacy aspect for a little bit more of convenience or for a few seconds for a process which is a few seconds faster than other processes.
So, it's very easy, both in Web3 and in Web2, for companies to give up on privacy for almost any other characteristic which users might like.
So, that was pretty difficult for us to understand exactly who are the partners we really want to create value for, because they really care about giving their users a fully privacy onboarding.
And then, technologically-wise, we encountered two big challenges, so this is for the more techie people.
We encountered two big challenges, and mainly trying to get the zero-knowledge circuits to first be able to verify passports, because passport standards are very old and involve very old cryptographic techniques.
And second, implementing these old techniques in zero-knowledge, because of the performance constraints.
So, just to give you an example to understand, imagine that the app had two gigabytes a few months ago.
Two gigabytes is your folder full of photos, let's say.
It was that big.
Or two or three Instagrams, or something like that.
It was huge.
Two gigabytes is huge.
Now, the app has less than 100 megabytes, which is a normal app in someone's phone.
Or, another example is, a few months ago, it took the app like 10 minutes to prove that you are over 18.
Right now, it takes under 30 seconds.
So, it was a lot of heavy research and talking with top zero-knowledge researchers in the world to figure out a way to make it happen in your phone.
Because if you do it on your laptop, your data is automatically sent somewhere, right?
But if you do it in your phone, this is where the magic happens, because everything is stored in your phone.
Nowhere else.
So, this was very difficult to make it happen.
Yeah, these are the main ones, let's say.
Decide.
Yeah, the normal startup challenges everyone encounters.
So, we have been discussing about a lot of difficulties you have faced.
So, let me conclude a little bit about business.
So, it's quite hard to find a partner who also focuses on people's privacy.
And about technological, you have been through two-bit challenges about the ZK Circus.
And the second is the size of the pictures, right?
So, basically, technologically speaking, it was difficult to work with passports.
Because in the way they are built, their standards are very old.
So, it was very difficult to use cutting-edge technology.
And then to make all these things happen in the phone.
That would be the resume, let's say.
Yeah.
Okay.
Amazing.
So, let's...
Okay.
Anna, do you mind if I switch back to the community we got here and then we finish the rest part?
Sure.
Sure, let's then.
Okay.
All the community.
I can see...
Show me your reaction that you're here and I'll give you a chance to ask out it today.
All right, Tomas.
You're now added as speakers.
I can see your heard reactions.
What is your question for artists today?
Welcome, Tomas.
All right, Tomas.
You are now added as speaker.
Hello, ma'am.
What are your questions?
Hello, ma'am.
Can you hear me?
Hey, Tomas.
Yes?
My question is, what are the main advantages of blockchain?
And do you have any plan to add more blockchain to your project in the near future?
So, did you ask me if we want to add more blockchain to our project?
Yes, yes.
To be fair, I don't know how we can add more blockchain to our project, but what we can
do is to integrate with more Web3 projects so the people who love the space will have
a more private way of proving who they are to the beloved projects they use in the Web3 space.
I don't think anyone can add more blockchain to their project overall.
Right.
Thank you, Tomas, for being here with us today.
Can I ask one more question?
Go for it.
My question is, partnership is an important factor in for every project.
How do you integrate the partnership into your project and may we know what your future
plan is?
Yes.
So, for partnerships, it is quite easy for a company which wants to check anything about
their users.
It's quite easy to integrate with us.
What they're going to do is, on their website, if you want to access anything, really, they're
going to, the company will generate the QR code on their website.
Anyone can scan that QR code and then you're going to be sent to Audit app to prove who you
are.
And then from the app, the proof goes back to the website and you're going to be able to
access anything.
And that's it.
That's it.
It's quite easy.
It's quite easy.
The hardest thing in Audit is the tech behind Audit.
But this is already sorted out.
Thanks.
Sure.
All right, Tomas.
I have the answers to your questions.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Let's go.
Thank you very much for answering my question.
Of course, Tomas.
All right, let's go with the next one.
Welcome John Saviour to be a speaker today.
You have a chance to ask Audit today.
All right, you are now at it at the speaker.
I'm good.
My question for the project is that I see on your Twitter that they have a few followers.
So, how are they going to build their community?
And as we know that community is very important in all these kind of projects.
So, is there any kind of marketing they are doing in terms of bringing investors and community
into these projects?
Right, okay.
Thank you for your question.
So, we are not really focusing on building the community right now.
Like, everyone who finds what we do interesting and they care about privacy-focused solutions,
they can follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn or they can join our Telegram community.
Our focus right now is mainly on creating more partnerships.
So, because we're going to impact people's lives, not by having 10,000 people on our Twitter,
but by partnering with companies which need to verify who you are.
So, you don't have to send any personal data to anyone.
This is how we help people the most, by creating more partnerships,
not by having a huge community.
So, we are more that type of company which works behind the scenes mostly.
Like, we do the hard work behind the scenes.
And anyone who wants to hear more about what we're doing,
they can follow our social media accounts or not.
It's not one of our focuses.
Because I think, we really believe that the community has to grow organically
and we're not going to do anything which will buy the followers, let's say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand the part.
That's very good.
But in terms of what I'm really talking about is that, okay, I get the part.
So, now you're talking about privacy.
We've seen all these kind of companies, all these kind of businesses that say that
privacy of investors is very secure with them.
And later on, they started selling out investors or their members' privacy.
Is it that we have to use VPN in terms of securing our privacy with you
or there's no need of using any VPN in corruption?
Right.
So, it depends on how much the company, which needs to verify who you are,
cares about all these edge cases.
Like, if a company really wants to know who you are and where you are located right now,
they can either...
I'm not talking about audit right now.
I'm talking about in general.
So, that company can either choose a provider, which will do some checks,
but you might be able to fake where you are via using a VPN or something,
or they might use some solutions which are very, very strict,
and you cannot fake it no matter what you use.
You can use the best VPN in the world.
They're still going to know that you are in Germany right now,
not in Netherlands.
For example, they have their technologies in places, let's say.
So, it really depends on the company,
how strict they want to be with people being able to fake some things about themselves
or how strict they want to be.
There are many providers in the market.
Some of them are more reliable.
Some of them are less reliable, depending on what the company wants.
Because some company might just...
Something that's...
Yeah, that need to know is that some companies will prefer to use something that's less strict,
just because it's going to have more users,
even though some of them should not be on their platform,
just because they care more about the numbers rather than following the rules.
So, it depends on how strict you want to be, really.
All right.
But for our app, for Audit,
for some cases, we are VPN-proof, let's say.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Is there any kind of...
Do you have any Discord room whereby I can join?
So, to ask some few questions.
We don't have Discord.
We found it a little bit too spammy for our community.
So, we only have a Telegram channel.
You can find it on our Twitter.
Actually, maybe I can just put the link somewhere in this AMA,
so it's going to be easier for you to join.
I'm going to do that right now, remotely,
but we can keep the conversation.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Of course.
Of course.
Thank you for asking your questions.
All right.
Very interesting question.
Always awesome for having you here, man.
I'm really glad that you'll go ahead and ask some questions.
So, let's go with the next ones.
Welcome, Jeff.
I can see you join in the beginnings.
All right, Jeff.
What is your question for Audit today?
You're now Audit as a speaker.
Welcome, Jeff, to the AMA today.
Yeah.
So, good day to you all.
So, my question for Audit is, like,
when developing your project,
what are the greatest challenges you guys face
when developing your project?
Sure.
Sure.
So, I think we already responded to this,
but let's resume the longer answer I just gave before.
So, yeah.
So, technologically speaking,
if you ask for the development itself,
we encountered two main challenges.
And the first one was
to get the zero-knowledge circuits we have in place
to work with passports.
Because in the way passports are made,
they work with some very old technology.
So, it was very difficult to combine them with zero knowledge
as this technology is pretty new
and it's pretty advanced.
And then the second problem was
to implement these old techniques
which are used for the passport
to actually work with zero knowledge
because of the performance constraints.
As I mentioned earlier,
a few months ago,
in order for you to prove that you are over 18,
you had to wait 10 minutes.
Right now, after more research
and working more,
it takes less than 30 seconds.
So, it was quite difficult to find
the proper way to make everything happen.
which is also easy for the users
because nobody's going to wait 10 minutes
to prove something about themselves, right?
So...
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So, what is your number one priority
in the next six months?
For us, the number one priority right now
is to figure out,
to actually to integrate
with a few partners
and see exactly how our app behaves
depending on the number of users
which are going to use the app,
depending on the number of companies
which need different facts about their users.
So, we're also exploring and learning
how our, you know,
little baby behaves in the market
because we just built it for like one year
and now we just start
bringing it to the world.
So, we are curious to see how
everything happens
and learn from it
and build it even better.
Okay.
That's really a great project
and wish you good luck
in your project.
Thank you, Riz.
Thank you, Jeff.
I really appreciate it.
All right.
Thank you, Jeff.
We really appreciate you coming on and ask.
So, Anna,
I think it's time to switch back
to the questions we got here.
Sure.
Let's do that.
So, the question is,
how does Audit plan
to leverage its partnerships?
Yeah.
So, our partnerships
are very important to us
because we really believe
that via these partnerships,
we will impact the life
of people in general
because we really protect them
from identity theft
and all the other burdens
which come with
sending your identity documents
somewhere.
So, basically,
we are looking for,
we are looking to create
healthy long-term partnerships
with companies
which believe
in creating a more private environment
for their customers
because, as I said earlier,
not everyone,
not every company
cares about you
and your personal data
and how they take care of that.
So, we are looking for partners
which have the same vision as us.
And one of our priorities,
as I told Jeff,
is also to focus on fingering out
a more niche market to address.
So, we're trying to build
sustainable partnerships
while also finding
what is the best market for us
right now
and where we can impact
more people
with our technology.
So, I got another question
about security
and users' interface.
So, the question is
two things that
it is security
and user interface
are the most important
experts
which users
observe
on the platforms.
how has
audit platform
worked on this?
This is a very
important question
because everyone
right now
is very concerned
about security
in general
and how secure
an app is
and is that app
a scam?
Is that app
really taking care
of my data
and so on?
So, it's a very
important question
to ask
any project
really
when you
meet with
the team
anywhere
online
or at a conference.
So, for the security
aspect,
what's interesting
about audit
because we are
using zero knowledge
you don't have
to trust
there is
no security
issue.
Why?
Because we don't
secure
your personal
data on a server.
Right?
Your data
doesn't leave
your phone.
So, there is
no need
for robust
security
measures
in place.
Right?
Because we don't
have your personal
data on a database,
on a spreadsheet,
on a server.
Everything is in
your phone.
So, if you take
care of your phone
and nobody steals
your phone,
then you are safe.
So, because
imagine
the attack surface
is smaller.
An attacker
needs
1,000 phones
to get
1,000
identities.
They cannot
just access
a database
with 1,000
identities.
They have to steal
1,000 phones
to get
1,000
identities.
Correct?
So, this is
for the security
aspect.
And for the
UX perspective,
because we
understand there
is always a
trade-off
between privacy
and making
it, making
the product
very convenient
for people.
we just
participated in
a two-week
intensive design
sprint, which
is so cool.
So, we
spent two
weeks in
Chicago at
the pit, for
the one who
knows the
place, where
we collaborated
with some
great designers.
So, we
redesigned the
user flow and
made it more
efficient.
The app looks
way better than
before, and it
is friendlier to
use.
So, we
really, we're
very excited for
you to see
the newer
version next
month, and
we're very
open to
feedback on
how to make
it even
better.
Yeah.
We can't
wait for the
new versions
of yours.
Yeah.
Thank you,
mate.
Yeah, all
right.
You definitely
hear that.
So, let's
move on to
the next
questions about
private.
So, how
is audit
private?
Yeah.
So, before
I answer this
question, I
just commented
on this
AMA post
with the
link to our
telegram group,
if you want
to join.
So, coming
back to your
question, May,
how is audit
private?
Right.
So, I
kind of
touched base
on this
before.
But, so
the current
form of
audit is
private by
default.
You don't
need to
trust us
or anyone
else to
verify specific
facts about
you.
Why?
Because in
the way the
app extracts
the data,
so this is
the magic.
In the way
the app
extracts the
data from
your passport,
you cannot
fake it.
You cannot
fake that
information.
So, knowing
that that
input data
is undeniably
true about
yourself.
So, let's
say the
app extracted
your date
of birth
from your
passport and
we are
100% sure
that this
is your
actual date
of birth
because you
cannot fake
it, right?
Then the
zero-knowledge
technology applied
on top of
that date
of birth,
which is
basically math,
right?
The zero-knowledge
proofs are
a bunch
of math.
When you
apply ZK
on top of
your date
of birth,
it will
give you
a viable
result,
like you
are or
not over
So, it's
like 2 plus
2 equals
4, right?
2 plus 2
will never
equal something
else.
It's like
here, if
your date
of birth
is this,
then we
can say
for sure
if you
are or
not over
So, in
simple
terms,
everything
that happens
in Audi's
app is
mostly math.
So, there
is no need
for you to
trust the
involvement
of a
subjective
touch, of
sending your
identity
document to
someone, and
then you
have to
trust that
they do
the best
they can.
What
happens is
we give
you the
app, which
is like a
tool.
You don't
have to see
us like a
third party.
We give
you the
app as a
tool, and
then you
use it to
prove that
you are
over 18
without the
involvement
on anyone,
not even
That's the
beauty of
We just
give it
the math,
and you
prove that
you are
over 18
by yourself.
all right.
That's it.
100%.
So, let's
move to
the next
question.
Where does
the latest
technology your
project use
come from?
Are you
afraid that
one day your
project's
technology will
be obsoleted
by other
project's
technology?
technology, if
that happens,
how will
you solve
Yeah, okay.
So, this is
an interesting
question.
Let's say
that so
far we
were using
cutting-edge
technology.
everything
that's new
in the
market, in
terms of
this technology
we're using,
we are already
up to date
with it.
And we
will keep
on being
on the
cutting front
of zero
knowledge,
and all
the other
technological
pieces we're
using.
So, it's
not like we
build this
product, then
we're happy
with it, then
we start
selling it, and
then we're
like, okay,
now let's
make money.
It's about,
okay, we
made this
product right
now, and
we're gonna
keep improving
it, depending
on what
people will
keep inventing
and what
people will
keep making
this technology
better and
better and
better.
So, we
build this
product, we're
happy with it
right now, and
then we're just
gonna keep
making it
better and
better.
And, as
you know, the
technology itself
is not the
only aspect which
has to stand
out for a
company to
thrive,
correct?
Like, you're
not gonna use
a product just
because the
technology is
amazing, if
anything else
about that
product sucks,
right?
So, we
see ourselves
creating value
via, you
know, the
usual, great
user experience,
constant
communication with
all our
stakeholders, from
the end
users to
investors to
our clients,
via being
transparent with
audits
processes, and
being reachable
overall as a
team.
I think this is
very important to
be easily
reachable by
people who
really have
questions and
concerns.
okay, but I
don't take
spam into
account, though.
We're gonna be
very reachable
for people who
really care and
who really
have, who
have real
questions, not
only, yeah,
spam.
But that's
kind of it.
This is how we
think we're
gonna, we're
gonna stand
out and
create a
great product
for people in
general and
for companies.
yeah, I
would say
creating
values via
user experience
is absolutely
the weight.
So it's all
about how
user feel when
you're using
your service.
It's not about
how the
latest technology
you have.
Well, both.
I think the
combination of
both is the
sweet spot, but
yeah.
All right, let's
go with the
last question.
Here's.
Okay, let's
get into it.
So the
question is, what
types of
businesses can
integrate without
Yeah, so
well, anyone
who, anyone
who wants to
know something
about their
users, it's
very expensive
and hard to
do these
checks in
house.
so anyone
who needs
anything about
their, almost
anything about
their users, we
are here.
To give some
examples, right
now we are
exploring DAOs for
proof of
personhood, so
one person, one
vote.
Then vice
companies are
another example
for proof of
age.
what I mean
by vice
companies, I
mean alcohol, I
mean drugs in
some states where
this is legal, I
mean adult
companies.
Then another
example is social
media platforms for
proof of personhood
and name in some
cases, token
sellers for
proof of
citizenship so
they can blacklist
the people they
cannot interact
with, legally
speaking.
So it's quite
general, it's
very general.
I cannot give
you a specific
business which can
integrate with
It's really
about what
do they need
and if we
can help
them, we're
gonna help
them.
All right,
awesome answers.
You absolutely
got the
phone answer
now.
So let's
switch back to
our community
here.
Our community
do you
hear?
Share us
your reaction
so that we
can give you
the chance
to ask.
Welcome
Cheek.
All right,
Sam, you
are now
added at
a speaker.
What is
your question
for added
today?
Welcome
Sam.
What is
your
message?
Your
audible.
All right,
So my
question is
how do you
plan to
verify this
identity?
Is it with
some AI
or is it
manually
from your
staff or
do you plan
to use AI
to verify
them?
Then how
are users
data
secured?
How do
you make
the user
data
secure to
avoid
interference
from other
places?
Sure,
Sam.
So we
don't
necessarily
plan to
use AI
because it's
not really
needed.
So we're
not going to
use something
just because
it's cool.
nobody from
our team
will be
able to
see who
you are.
So nobody
will check
your identity
document.
everything
happens in
the phone.
We created
the app
but we
created in
a way in
which we
just give
you all
the tools
which are
needed for
you to
reliable
prove
something about
yourself.
But because
your information
is locally
stored in
your phone
and nothing
leaves the
device,
it means
that nobody
not even
us have
access to
who you
are.
What we
can see,
what Audit
can see and
other companies
can see is
the proof you
choose to send
from the
phone.
That the
fact that
you're over
18 or the
fact that
you are
from
Austria.
This is
what we're
going to
see.
That you
are over
18 but you
don't know
who you
are.
We don't
know your
identity,
we don't
know your
name,
we don't
know anything
else.
But what
you decide
to send.
So the
security comes
from the
fact that
you don't
have to
trust anyone.
There is
no middleman
here,
there is
no person
or company
which
take a
look on
your
identity.
No one,
you do it
on the
phone.
I'm not
sure if I
responded to
your question
but let
you know.
That's
interesting.
in this
stage of
project,
do you
have
plans of
making
out some
funding
or is
any kind
of funding
opportunity
that you
use in
order to
sustain
and grow
project?
you mean
if we
are trying
to raise
funds or
if we
are trying
or if
we want
to fund
someone
else?
if you
are trying
to raise
funds or
if not
now,
maybe in
future,
is there
any plans
you use
to raise
funds to
sustain
project?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Well,
keep an
eye on
our Twitter
page because
we're going
to post
some big
news
soon,
next month.
All right,
all right.
Thanks for your
grants us.
Good luck
to the
project.
Thank you
for your
questions.
All right,
thank you,
Sam,
for being
here with
us today.
Appreciate
that you
hear and
ask some
questions for
audit.
So let's
go with
the next
ones.
All right,
lucky boy.
You got a
lucky chance
to ask
audit a
question
today.
You are
now added
as a
speaker.
all right.
Welcome,
lucky boy.
you're
audible.
question
is what
benefit
do you
create for
user?
Sorry,
can you
repeat the
question?
Okay.
question to
audit
what
benefit
do you
create
for your
customers?
So what
benefit we
create for
customers?
Yeah.
so the
privacy
aspect of
product,
the fact
that you
don't send
your personal
information to
anyone in
this world,
not even to
and what
you just,
it's like,
so for
you to
understand in
an easier
way is
imagine you
want to go
to a
bank and
ask for
a loan.
If you
want to
take a
loan from
a bank,
it's going
to be a
pain,
right?
Because you
have to
give so
many documents,
you have to
prove so
many things
about yourself,
and so on.
Well,
imagine,
okay,
this is not
something that's
going to happen
soon,
but imagine
that you
can use
our app,
you go to
the bank,
and you
say,
I want to
take a
loan,
and the
app and
the bank
will ask
you,
okay,
but you
need to
have a
salary,
which is
between
this amount
and this
amount,
and also
prove that
you are
who you
say you
are.
And then
you're going
to show
them a QR
code from
our app,
and then
they're going
to see
that,
okay,
so their
salary is
within this
range,
they're not
going to
know how
much it
and from
what
company,
they're just
going to
know that
your salary
is between
a specific
range they
wanted,
and then
they're also
going to
know that
you have
a valid
identity
document,
which you
already
uploaded in
the app,
and they
don't have
to see
So you
just go
there,
you prove
to them
whatever they
need to
know,
and then
that's it.
Without
them seeing
anything
from you.
That's the
superpower of
zero
knowledge
proofs.
That's what
we're doing,
but for
use cases
which are
not financial,
so we're
not going
to collaborate
with banks
in the
next one
year.
It's really
great answer.
Can I ask
another
question,
please?
Sure.
We see,
or we
know,
most of
the project
or company
say about
their strong
side,
but no
one,
no one
want to
their
weak
side.
Please,
can you
say about
your
weak
side?
Sorry,
I didn't
really get
Can you
repeat it?
Most of
projects
say about
their
strongest
side.
question
about
you,
do you
have
weak
side
when
create
project?
yeah,
yeah.
we have
website,
which is
called,
if you
can see
us in
this
AMA,
it's
audit.io.
if you
put it
on your
browser,
this is
website.
sorry,
but I
know.
Lucky
might want
to ask
you the
weaknesses
of your
projects.
What do
you mean
weaknesses?
Yeah.
what do
you mean
by that?
I kind
of believe
that the
questions of
Lucky,
besides
on the
benefits,
on the
advantages
audits.
what is
witness
audit?
the privacy
aspect?
If the
question is
about the
benefits of
audit,
I just
presented
them 10
seconds ago.
all right.
lucky boys,
thank you
for being
here with
Let's
go with
the last
questions,
all right.
I've
give someone
the last
chance to
ask.
Welcome,
Bullish.
You're
a lucky,
you got a
lucky chance
to ask
a question
audit.
You're
now added
at a
speaker.
Welcome,
BTC.
Can you
hear me?
Yeah,
better.
thank you for
inviting me to
see.
my question
blockchain
technology
still has
issues
like
scalability
efficiency
so what
are the
huge
cases?
What are
the huge
cases that
contributing
provider to
contribute to
the adoption
of more
stable and
the network?
That's my
first question.
the second
question is,
security is
very important
for every
project.
I need more
knowledge about
security
mechanisms.
what mechanism
that your
project used
to protect
the users
how secure
your smart
control
against
attack?
That's my
question.
Right.
the first
question is
about use
cases about
it and
the second
one is
about
security,
correct?
Yeah,
that's what
I want
to ask.
Right.
for use
cases,
as I
mentioned
before,
the use
cases are
we can
collaborate
with DAOs
for proof
of personhood.
These are
just examples,
right?
Or we
can collaborate
with token
sellers to
prove the
citizenship of
their users.
Or we can
collaborate with
other companies
which need to
verify the
age of
their users,
like a
company which
sells alcohol
or a
company which
sells other
services or
products for
which you
need to
check the
age of
the customer.
And then
for security,
you don't
need to
trust Audit
as a
company because
in the way
the app is
built, we
do not
store your
personal data
anywhere.
nothing leaves
the phone.
because of
that, there
is no way
for someone
to attack
and steal
your identity
only if they
steal your
phone.
But then if
they steal your
phone, they're
going to steal
everything from
you, right?
everything is
in your
phone.
If you
take care of
your phone,
nobody will
steal your
identity.
That's it.
It's that
simple.
It's not
like you
send your
identity to
a third
party and
you have to
trust them
for taking
care of
that data.
Here, you
don't have to
trust anyone.
You just
have to trust
yourself that
you're going
to take care
of your
phone so
nobody can
steal who
you are.
That's it.
It's that
simple.
For the
people who
want to
understand way
more about
technology,
technological
part and
how security
measures are
put in place
and so on,
you can
check our
website and
check our
social media
posts and
just keep
asking us
questions.
I'd like to
not enter
into many
details because
not everyone
is that
interested in
in-depth
technological
answers.
I'd keep it
more general.
Thank you for
asking the
question.
All right,
BTC, thank
you for
being here
with us
today.
That's also
the final
question for
the live
Q&A.
So, thank
you for you

All right.
Thank you
very much.
I really
appreciate all
your time and
effort.
That was
amazing.
All right.
All right,
Anna, do you
have any last
words you
would say to
the community
hears?
I just
want to thank
everyone for
spending their
time on the
Saturday to
understand more
about how
their data is
being used
online.
And I'm very
happy that they
want to
understand more
about how
they can
choose to
use more
private
solutions.
And I
hope we
manage to
learn something
from each
other.
and if
you find
what we
interesting
for you,

companies
you can
use and
you're going
to know for
sure that they
care about
your privacy.
So that's
kind of it.
Just a big
thank you and
thank you for
your questions
and involvement
and for all
the emojis and
love.
And thank you
