ASK.ZK
Enabling anonymous feedback on controversial topics, ensuring safe expression without fear.
The problem ASK.ZK solves
In today's world, freedom of speech is vital yet often suppressed by those in power. For instance, a university professor might threaten to fail students for negative feedback, or an employer might intimidate employees before evaluations. Current solutions fail to ensure true anonymity, allowing HR teams or admins to access replies linked to users, stifling honest feedback and harming community trust.
Additionally, in the crypto space, power users who owns a lot of crypto might hesitate to give feedback due to fear of being doxxed and mugged. This is particularly relevant in places like Sweden, where a wave of home invasions aims to steal Bitcoins, exploiting the public record of assets tied to home addresses.
Challenges we ran into
We run into several technical problems, including:
- Worldcoin Developer portal API generation is broken and requires resetting the keys to actually get them into our hands, wasting us precious hours of work until we figured it out.
- We used dynamic World ID action creation, but unfortunately, the Worldcoin internal server was broken during zkHack. We contacted the team to fix it, but it was the weekend, so they couldn’t do it.
- The library for World ID is not working natively but rather requires being launched in a web environment, which forced as to abandon original idea and rewrite some pieces of code
- Our ZK Mail implementation was the last feature we wanted to implement, and we didn't have time to complete it fully - it requires more additional testing and understanding of its structure to support emails from different exchanges or other organizations
