BringID

. @bring_id thesis mentioned at 1:27. Comments are mostly negative as people are worried about privacy. This confirms that focusing on privacy was a right call last year. However, having the right tech is necessary, but not sufficient. The hardest part is educating the market and forming the consensus that our solution can be trusted.

Everything is going to be botted, then people will be tired of AI spam and then proof-of-humanity solutions like @bring_id will be adopted at scale.

Proof-of-humanity powered by zero-knowledge proofs: > Each verification group has a separate Semaphore group. > Semaphore commitment is added onchain after successful verification > Generate Semaphore proofs to prove that you're human without disclosing your personal data.

Robinhood Testnet have been added to ethfaucet.com. Verify that you're human with BringID and claim 0.1 Robinhood Testnet ETH.

Here's how BringID bot protection works

New version of BringID is live at ethfaucet.com. Check out our progressive proof-of-humanity verification and claim some testnet ETH.

Demo of the upcoming @bring_id release with progressive humanity verification: • seamless verifications via OAuth (X, Github, Farcaster) • zkTLS verification via browser extension (prove CEX KYC level, completed Uber trips, Apple subscriptions) • zkKYC via ZKPassport or Self

Regular people (aka normies) are starting to wake up to the bot problem we've been talking and solving for the whole last year. Feels like 2026 is going to be a good year for proof of humanity solutions (including @bring_id). P.S. We've been quite lately, but we're heads down working on the best possible solution to solve the bot problem soon. Many updates coming, stay tuned 😎

. @bring_id will fix this

We've added Arbitrum Sepolia and Ethereum Sepolia to ethfaucet[.]com. Other L2 networks are coming soon too.

My devconnect talk was released about zkTLS onchain privacy concerns and how we solved it with @bring_id youtube.com/watch?v=Hy7DWv…

Free advertisement for @bring_id and @worldnetwork

I'm going Devconnect next week and will present BringID at zkTLS Day #proof-of-humanity-from-web-accounts-mikhail-bring-id" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tlsnotary.org/zktls-day/#pro… Please let me know if anyone is also going to be in Buenos Aires and would like to catch up in person.

We created an ETH Faucet giving developers a small amount of free ETH both on L2 Mainnets and Testnets. Launching with Base today. Other L2s will be added later.

BringID can't rugpull your privacy thanks to MPC-TLS and Semaphore zk proofs

We’re launching with a bot bounty to test the system. Prove you're a real human and claim some BRING tokens at app.bringid.org ...or try to sybil us and drain all tokens from the airdrop contract. FIN.

We leveraged zero-knowledge proofs (Semaphore) and mpc-tls (TLS Notary) to achieve maximum privacy both onchain and offchain. Read the whitepaper for full technical details: x.com/MikhailDob/sta… 2/3

We've built the tech to fight Sybils, bots and fake accounts. BringID distinguishes real humans by verifying online activity (e.g. Uber trips completed, Apple devices ownership, X verified followers, etc) Launching on @base today. 1/3
