Decentralized, anonymous, and accountable identity on Web3.
Notebook solves the Web3 identity problem by using Zero-Knowledge to provide both anonymous proof-of-humanity and credential aggregation. Notebook initially verifies users’ identifying information to ensure that each person has just a single Notebook. Neither Notebook, nor any other company knows the link between a user’s personal information and their Notebook. Once a user’s Notebook account is created they can begin proving their humanity and aggregating their credentials across wallets. Notebook can be used to increase the safety of DeFi, governance, and airdrops. With Notebook, creators and communities can run Sybil-resistant airdrops, DAOs can verify the humanity and aggregate the credentials of participants, and lending protocols can build credit scoring systems to offer lower-collateralized loans.

We help Web3 organizations trust their users without compromising their anonymity
Notebook Labs introduces a Web3 identity system that uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify humanity and credentials without revealing personal data. It targets protocols across wallets and chains, allowing verification with or without a wallet, and enables integration via a few code lines; the project emphasizes a decentralized, accountable, anonymous, and self-sovereign approach and notes a rollup timeline with wallet addresses obviated by mid-September.
