.@GITCOINPASSPORT JUST TOOK A BIG STEP FORWARD 🔥

Starting today, Gitcoin Passport holders can now move their Passports Onchain ⛓️

This means that your reputation built with @GitcoinPassport will now be able to be read natively via smart contracts in the Ethereum Ecosystem.

Initially, Onchain Stamps will be available on OP Mainnet, with plans to extend Gitcoin Passport to other EVM-compatible chains.

Practically speaking, moving your Passport Onchain will over time enable you to access high quality, trustworthy onchain opportunities.

This step forward is significant because projects had to leverage the @GitcoinPassport API to read the Unique Humanity Scores of potential users.

Now, we have made it possible for developers to wield the same functionality fully onchain, just in time for #OnchainSummer.

As the onchain data structure for Passport stamps and scores, we've utilized the Ethereum Attestation Service (@eas_eth).

Leveraging EAS increases the recognition, usability, and value of their Passport credentials, empowering them through seamless integration with the Ethereum Virtual Machine via a user-friendly interface.

EAS is integrated into the OP Stack, the modular open-source tech stack built by the Optimism Collective that powers OP Chains like OP Mainnet, PGN, Base, and Zora. All future OP Chains deployed will automatically include the EAS contracts at Genesis.

At launch, the Gitcoin Passport Onchain Stamps will be available on OP Mainnet, and contribute to the emerging identity ecosystem.

This paves the way for a secure and interconnected digital identity landscape.optimism.io/reputation

Launching the Gitcoin Passport Onchain Stamps on OP Mainnet takes us closer to this interoperable future. The Optimism Collective is building an economic engine that fuels positive-sum games, and decentralized identity is central to that goal.

Decentralized identity not only unlocks democratic governance and innovation but can empower individuals to have greater control over their finances and participate in the global economy on their own terms.

Bringing Gitcoin Passport Stamps to OP Mainnet lays the groundwork for scaling onchain identity and governance.

It has the potential to enhance the capabilities of the Citizens' House governance, a key component of Optimism's ecosystem, by contributing attestations as an experiment to build inclusive and open identity primitives that any application across the Superchain and beyond can use.

For example, developers can use their reputation to claim 20x testnet ETH from the Superchain Faucet, shifting the resources from less-legitimate users to users with evidence that they are unique and real humans. Let's create a future together where our online presence is trustworthy and authentic.
