One glance, infinite trust – unlocking cross-chain identity and rewards.
The problem Intellifi solves
Intellifi solves the critical challenges of privacy, security, and seamless transaction execution by enabling decentralized identity verification, secure payments, and reward distribution across multiple EVM chains. Using zk-proof technology and encrypted IPFS storage, the platform ensures privacy-preserving biometric verification through Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. In the payment use case, users can securely and effortlessly send identity-verified transactions using voice commands and facial recognition. In the PersonBounty use case, Intellifi allows users to create bounties on specific identities, rewarding those who find and verify the person with a selfie or video, ensuring a secure, transparent, and automated reward system—all while maintaining robust privacy and security standards.
User Interaction and Data Flow
User Interaction with Intellifi: Simple and Seamless
Payment Use Case:
Imagine you're wearing Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. You say, "Send $50 to my team." The glasses capture your face, verify your identity securely using facial recognition, and execute the transaction instantly on the blockchain—no phone, no manual steps, just a simple voice command.
PersonBounty Use Case:
You see someone who matches a bounty posted on Intellifi. You take a selfie or record a short video using your smart glasses. The data is uploaded securely to the Intellifi platform, which verifies the match using biometric technology. If the match is confirmed, you receive the reward automatically—all done seamlessly and privately, with zero-knowledge proofs ensuring data security.
These are just a couple of examples. Intellifi's potential extends far beyond these use cases, with many more innovative applications in decentralized identity, transactions, and rewards to come!
The project architecture and development process
This diagram explains how a face-to-face transaction works using smart contracts, facial recognition, and zk-proof (Zero-Knowledge Proof) technology. Here's a simple breakdown:
Registration (Step 1):
The receiver registers on the smart contract by providing:
A hash of their facial data points.
Their public key.
Their wallet address.
The registration process is secured with zk-proof technology, ensuring the data is stored privately and only accessible for verification.
Identification (Step 2):
The sender uses Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to scan the receiver's face.
The facial data is hashed and compared securely with the data stored on the smart contract.
Through zk-proof, the identity verification is done without revealing sensitive biometric data.
Transaction Initiation (Step 3):
The sender generates a unique identifier (nullifier) and a transaction hash (spend note hash).
The sender sends the transaction hash along with the ERC-20 tokens to the smart contract.
zk-proof ensures that the transaction is verified on-chain while maintaining privacy.
Data Encryption and Messaging (Step 4):
The sender encrypts the transaction details, including the nullifier and Merkle path, to maintain data integrity.
An encrypted message with the transaction data is sent to the receiver through a secure messaging service, ensuring that only the receiver can decrypt and verify the information.
Verification and Completion (Step 5):
The receiver verifies the transaction using their facial recognition data.
zk-proof is used to validate the transaction without exposing any personal data.
Once the verification process is completed, the smart contract securely finalizes the transaction.
Throughout the process, zk-proof technology maintains a high level of privacy and security, ensuring that facial recognition and transaction data remain confidential while enabling a seamless, trustless transaction experience.
