Proof of Personhood for DAO Voting
One vote per person, not per wallet — proof of personhood that reflects one human, one vote, without linking a wallet address to how someone voted.
What's included
Everything you need for proof of personhood for dao voting
Unique-human verification
Confirm each participant is a distinct real person before they're issued voting eligibility.
Verifiable Credential-based eligibility
Issue a reusable credential that proves eligibility without re-running KYC each governance round.
Privacy-preserving proof
Prove eligibility without linking a wallet address or vote choice back to the verified identity.
Sybil resistance
Block the same person from registering multiple identities to vote more than once.
Reusable across rounds
One verification supports every governance vote a DAO or platform runs afterward.
Selective disclosure
Share only the eligibility attribute a governance contract needs, nothing more.
How it works
Verify the human, not the wallet
Wallet-based voting can be gamed by anyone willing to split funds across addresses. Hypersign verifies the person once and issues a credential that proves eligibility without exposing who they are or how they voted.

- Selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs keep votes private while proving eligibility
- Reusable across every governance round a DAO or platform runs

Verifiable Credentials and Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Explained
Verifiable credentials, zero-knowledge proofs, and selective disclosure get used almost interchangeably in identity marketing, but they're three different things solving three different parts of the same problem. Here's what each one actually is, how BBS+ and SD-JWT do selective disclosure differently, and why eIDAS 2.0 just made this the mandatory baseline for every EU Digital Identity Wallet.
OpenID Foundation Wants to Standardize US mDLs as Verifiable Credentials: What It Means for KYC Teams
Two new OpenID Foundation papers tackle a real gap: the US has no centralized trust framework for mobile driver's licenses, and financial institutions have no standard way to read one. Here's what the initiative actually proposes, and where a credential-based KYC architecture already lines up with it.
