Key points
- Three Protocol is building fraud-resistant cryptocurrency e-commerce tools using decentralized IDs, smart contracts, and AI to enable mainstream crypto payments.
- ZKi3 decentralized identities allow users to build on-chain reputation through zero-knowledge proofs without requiring traditional biometric KYC documentation.
- Jobs3 is a decentralized marketplace similar to Upwork or Fiverr where freelancers can build verifiable work history and reputation on-chain.
- Three Protocol uses zero-knowledge proofs to let users prove credentials and qualifications without revealing underlying transaction data or financial information.
- The platform prioritizes user onboarding through simplified UI/UX design, video resources, and FAQs to reduce blockchain knowledge barriers for mainstream adoption.
In their own words
“We're not custodians of any funds at all, so it's far more transparent and far more secure.”
“Using zero-knowledge proofs, we can still prove that we have certain accreditations and that we are who we say we are.”
