Event Access Verification for Online Communities

Ensuring Authentic Engagement in Online and Physical Events

For online communities, events - whether online, physical, or hybrid - have become key tools for improved interaction and engagement. However, managing access to these events poses several challenges, from ensuring participant authenticity to preventing fraudulent activity and maintaining privacy. This is especially important in Web3 communities, where decentralization and trustless systems are preferred.

Our solution provides a blockchain-based, privacy-preserving identity verification system designed to secure access to community events. It helps ensure that only legitimate participants can attend, supporting a wide range of event formats, including professional workshops, DAO governance meetings, virtual meetups, and hybrid conferences.

Challenges in Event Access

Event organizers for online and Web3 communities face several hurdles when managing participation:

• Identity Verification: Ensuring participants are real, unique individuals without exposing their personal information.

• Ticket Fraud: Preventing counterfeit tickets or unauthorized access, especially in high-demand events.

• Sybil Attacks: Mitigating the risk of individuals creating multiple accounts to gain unfair advantages or manipulate participation in decentralized systems.

• Tiered Access: Managing different access levels for events with varying levels of exclusivity.

• Privacy Concerns: Protecting personal data while ensuring secure identity verification, in line with the privacy preferences of Web3.

Civic's Solution for Secure Event Access

It provides Sybil resistance, ensuring that each participant is unique, verified, and authorized to attend. With Civic Pass, event organizers can protect privacy while maintaining control over access, without compromising the security of their events.

Civic Pass offers several verification levels to match the specific needs of different types of events:

• CAPTCHA Pass: A lightweight option for casual or low-security events, differentiating between humans and bots.
