The problem CommuneIn solves

In essence, CommuneIn seems to solve discovery, trust and access issues for key constituents interested in the developing Web3 space within India.

For consumers:

1. Privacy and Security concerns - Traditional methods of identity verification often require users to share sensitive personal information, raising concerns about privacy and the security of their data. By utilizing zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs), your platform enables users to verify their Aadhar without disclosing any details. This enhances user privacy and reduces the risk of identity theft or misuse of personal information.
2. User Convience - Seamless login and transaction validation where the passkey serves as a secure and convenient method for Aadhar verification and transaction validation, eliminating the need for repeated Aadhaar verification.

For businesses and creators:

1. Challenge in reaching the Indian market - CommuneIn provides direct access to an exclusive community of Indian citizens interested in Web3.
2. Need for feedback from early Indian adopters - Businesses can engage the CommuneIn community to gain valuable early feedback in the Indian market.
