The problem Potlock - Impact based attestation solves
Attestations are simply statements or pieces of evidence about anything, made by anyone. They play a crucial role in establishing trust in the digital world. In the absence of physical interaction or presence, it can be difficult to verify the information. Attestations provide third-party validation and secure confirmation of the authenticity of the information, making it easier for others to trust and rely on it.
As a public good funding platform, we are leveraging an attestation feature to measure impact and establish trust between projects and our platform, thus unlocking levels of fuding.
