Verify your Gitcoin

How to verify your Gitcoin account with Idena

Idena is the first proof-of-person blockchain based on democratic principles. Every node is linked to a cryptoidentity — a unique person with equal voting power and mining income.

Your validated cryptoidentity ensures you are a unique human without revealing any personal data. It allows you to have more voting power when the voting can be subject to a sybil attack. Gitcoin accounts verified with Idena get +50% grants match bonus in Gitcoin funding.
