The problem ProoForm solves
In today's digital world, form submissions often lack credibility. Whether it's developers claiming GitHub contributions, influencers stating follower counts, or professionals sharing achievements, there's no easy way to verify these claims without compromising privacy or spending hours on manual verification.
ProofForm solves this by offering:
- Instant verification of credentials across platforms (GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
- Privacy-focused approach using zero-knowledge proofs
- Simple drag-and-drop form builder
For example:
- Event organizers can verify developers' GitHub contributions instantly
- Marketing teams can authenticate influencer metrics in real-time
- Communities can validate member qualifications automatically
- Creators can prove their social media engagement without sharing passwords
Instead of:
❌ Manual verification taking hours
❌ Trusting unverified screenshots
❌ Risking privacy breaches
❌ Dealing with fake credentials
ProofForm provides:
✅ One-click automated verification
✅ Tamper-proof results
✅ Complete privacy protection
✅ Real-time credential validation
This means organizations can focus on what matters – building amazing communities and running successful events – rather than spending time verifying credentials. By making verification instant, secure, and privacy-focused, ProofForm revolutionizes how we collect and verify information online.
Challenges I ran into
Challenges with Reclaim Protocol Integration 🔧
The main challenge I encountered was with the integration of Reclaim Protocol providers. This involved several specific hurdles:
Provider Selection & Integration
- Initially overwhelming number of providers to choose from
- Each provider needed different data points for verification
- Had to carefully match provider capabilities with form requirements
Building Custom Providers
- Understanding which provider would best fit each verification need
- Finding the right data points to verify
How I Overcame These Challenges 💪
-
Documentation Deep Dive
- Reclaim's documentation was surprisingly clear and well-structured
- Spent time understanding each provider's capabilities thoroughly
- Created a mapping of user needs to available providers
-
Community Support
- The Telegram developer community was incredibly helpful
- Active community members provided quick solutions
- Real-time problem-solving through community discussions
-
Iterative Testing
- Started with basic providers
- Gradually added more complex verifications
- Tested each integration thoroughly before moving to the next
