How does ChainX Work?

ChainX revolves around ChainX ID, a privacy-preserving global identity network. Using ChainX ID, individuals will be able to prove that they are a real, unique human to any platform that integrates with the protocol. This will enable fair airdrops, provide protection against bots/sybil attacks on social media, and enable the fairer distribution of limited resources. Furthermore, ChainX ID can also enable global democratic processes and novel forms of governance (e.g., via quadratic voting), and it may eventually support a path to AI-funded UBI.

To engage with the ChainX protocol, individuals must first download ChainX App, the first wallet app that supports the creation of a ChainX ID. Individuals visit a physical imaging device called the Orb to get their ChainX ID Orb-verified. Most Orbs are operated by a network of independent local businesses called Orb Operators. The Orb uses multispectral sensors to verify humanness and uniqueness to issue an Orb-verified ChainX ID, with all images being promptly deleted on-device per default (absent explicit consent to Data Custody).
