How to Obtain a ESelfKey iD

Prerequisites

Obtaining your very own ESelfKey iD is a simple process. You will need:

  1. A passport or a government-issued iD.
  2. A valid email address.
  3. A Laptop/PC with a webcam to successfully take a selfie. 
  4. Metamask wallet browser extension set up. For important details, please open the following link.
  5. MATIC in the wallet - instructions on how to obtain MATIC will be provided within the wallet.

These are crucial to verify your identity and ensure that you are indeed the individual you claim to be.

Please note that certain steps may take varying amounts of time to complete, ranging from a few seconds to several minutes. Your patience is appreciated as the process unfolds.

Step One: Getting started

The first step is to access ESelfKey DAO’s official website and connect your wallet. After your wallet connects, simply press the Metamask button to start your journey.

Step Two: Input Email Address and agree with Terms

Once you’ve completed the first step, you will be required to initiate the verification process. You must enter a valid email address and you must make sure to acknowledge ESelfKey DAO’s Privacy Policy by checking the box below.

Step Three: Invitation to join KYC Application

After completing the second step, you will receive an email from verification@kycs.ai, with the title “Invitation to join KYC Application”. 

Please make sure to also double check your spam folder if the email did not arrive. If you accidentally introduced a typo in the email address, you can try to send the invitation again.

The email should open to the following:

After clicking on the “Start the KYC application” button, you will be redirected to the application page, where you will begin the KYC (know your customer) verification process. 

The purpose of KYC in ESelfKey DAO is to verify the authenticity and uniqueness of each individual and confirm their claimed identity. This measure prevents users owning more than one ESelfKey iD and ensures that the ESelfKey DAO and its partners are sybil or bot-free.

Step Four: Connecting Wallet and Signing

Before beginning your KYC verification process, you'll be prompted to connect your digital wallet and provide a signature.

You're now starting the onboarding process. Please read each instruction thoroughly to successfully complete each step.

Step Five: ID Document verification

Before proceeding, it's essential to read and agree to the KYCS.AI Privacy Policy & Terms of Service. Make sure to scroll through the entire document for the next button to activate.

While verification via other devices is possible using a QR code, it's advisable to continue on a desktop or laptop.

A brief guide will be provided to demonstrate how to position your ID or passport for the desktop or laptop camera to capture a photo. Alternatively, you can upload the document directly from your computer.

It's crucial that the document is clear, fully visible, not tilted, and not cropped. If the upload fails, please make sure the guidelines are followed and attempt the upload again.

Step Six: Selfie Check

The next, and one of the most crucial steps in the process, is the selfie check. Given that the number of attempts is limited to only three, you must be extra cautious to respect the following guidelines before pressing the photo button: 

  1. Make sure that you are facing the camera directly.
  2. You must be in good light, so that all your features are visible.
  3. Position your face close enough to the camera to fit within the oval guide provided.

Step Seven: Details and Information

After passing the selfie check, you will be required to confirm the following: 

Please make sure that the fields are filled in correctly before continuing to the next step.

Following this, you will need to confirm additional details, such as your date of birth, nationality, and country of residence. These fields must be completed before proceeding to the next step.

The final step will be to review the information you've submitted for accuracy. Once you submit the form, you won't be able to make any further changes.

Step Eight: Verification and Onboarding

The verification process can take a few minutes up to a few hours but if all is well, your application will be approved. If you’ve successfully completed the KYC process, you will receive an email redirecting you to selfkey.app.org.

Make sure you thoroughly read, understand, and agree with the terms of service before proceeding.

Step Nine: Claiming your ESelfKey iD SBT

Once you've finished the preceding step, you'll be able to claim your ESelfKey iD. This involves an additional selfie check as an added security measure. 

Please make sure that the additional selfie matches the one taken during onboarding and that you check the agreement box before proceeding. 

With this final step, you’ve completed your onboarding.

If you’re experiencing any issues during or after obtaining your ESelfKey iD, please make sure to open a support ticket. ESelfKey DAO is here to provide assistance every step of the way, as promptly as possible.

ESelfKey iD Benefits

Congratulations on obtaining your very own ESelfKey iD SBT! Now that you’re a valued member of ESelfKey DAO, it is vital to take note of all the perks and benefits you can enjoy as a proud ESelfKey iD user.

Claiming SELF tokens

Upon completing onboarding, each new ESelfKey iD user has the opportunity to claim a generous 50 SELF tokens to ignite their journey. This gesture serves as a token of appreciation and a heartfelt welcome from ESelfKey DAO. 

However, the initial 50 SELF tokens must be manually claimed by the user, ensuring active participation in the process. 

Redeeming Invite Code

Each ESelfKey iD holder receives a unique invite code, which remains usable indefinitely. This code offers one of the simplest means to accumulate SELF tokens while also fostering the growth and expansion of the DAO.

To benefit, users merely need to distribute their code among friends, family, and acquaintances. For each eligible member successfully onboarded into ESelfKey DAO using this code, both the user and the referred individual stand to potentially qualify for SELF tokens.

With the invite code's indefinite usability, it presents an exceptional chance for active members to consistently build their SELF holdings over time.

Credential Locking

Within the ESelfKey iD framework, Credential Locking serves as an added layer of security for online identity verification. This process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Users must provide a selfie as part of the initial KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
  2. For continued access to ESelfKey DAO, users undergo additional selfie checks.
  3. Upon successful check, users receive a credential that can be locked using KEY. This verification procedure ensures the authentication of users' identities, potentially enhancing their digital security.

By securing KEY on their credentials, users actively contribute to fortifying the security of the ESelfKey DAO ecosystem and may have the opportunity to mint SELF tokens themselves.

Conclusions

Through the development of cutting-edge digital solutions, ESelfKey DAO aims to erect barriers against cyber threats that could result in identity theft. One such solution could be ESelfKey iD.

Leveraging the remarkable capabilities of artificial intelligence, ESelfKey iD stands ready to counter the risks posed by data breaches and identity theft. Moreover, it offers unique advantages and presents opportunities for active members of the ESelfKey DAO community.

If you're prepared to enhance your digital identity management, seize the opportunity to acquire your very own ESelfKey iD today!

ESelfKey DAO Engagement System https://selfkey.org/selfkey_dao_engagement_system/ Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:25:37 +0000 https://selfkey.org/?p=4231 Summary

Nowadays, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are becoming more and more popular due to the many benefits they offer. These include creating a safe environment for individuals to interact with one another. as well as equality and transparency among its members. 

Despite the potential of DAOs, however, many struggle with a lack of user participation. Without active engagement from its members, decision-making and growth can be delayed, and the DAO's decentralized structure can decline. 

Thankfully, ESelfKey DAO is addressing this issue by developing an engagement system that aims to keep its members active and involved. By motivating participants to regularly engage within the DAO, the DAO itself will become more active and successful.

In this article, we will elaborate on the ESelfKey DAO Engagement System, its benefits, and how members can participate in the DAO in order to mint tokens.

Highlights

  • The ESelfKey DAO Engagement System

  • The Benefits and Uses of Work Tokens
  • Conclusions

The ESelfKey DAO Engagement System

Introduction

The ESelfKey DAO’s Engagement System is an innovation that offers a wide variety of benefits to its valued members. One of the main advantages of the ESelfKey DAO Engagement System is that active members can mint tokens for their contributions and involvement within the network. 

These tokens can be used to access various services within the ESelfKey ecosystem, such as buying NFT packs to customize NFTs, as well as buying ESelfKey ENS domains

How the ESelfKey DAO Engagement System Works

A brief definition

The ESelfKey DAO Engagement System is designed to facilitate users to mint work tokens for their active participation and positive behavior in the DAO. Participants who contribute valuable resources, such as time, skills, or suggestions, are recognized accordingly. 

ESelfKey DAO offers numerous benefits to its users, including a secure and decentralized platform for managing digital identities. Even more, participants are incentivized to work together towards common goals. This builds a strong sense of community and collaboration within the DAO.

The ESelfKey DAO Engagement System and Individuals

Tokens minted within the ESelfKey DAO Engagement System represent a powerful tool for promoting growth and adoption of the DAO. 

The DAO offers active members the possibility to mint tokens and have their contributions recognized. This helps the organization attract and retain high-quality talent and resources. In turn, it can enhance the quality and effectiveness of the services offered by the network.

Overall, the ESelfKey DAO Engagement System aims to empower participants to create a strong, collaborative community committed to the success of the DAO. The long-term goal of the DAO is to be able to build a space for innovation and creativity, while also driving growth and adoption of its services.

How to participate in the ESelfKey DAO

To fully benefit from the platform's Engagement system, users need to participate actively in the DAO's general governance and decision-making processes.

There are specific tasks which participants of a DAO can do in order to mint work tokens and help maintain the DAO.

How to keep the ESelfKey DAO active and mint work tokens

Member engagement is a key necessity in order to benefit from an active platform. Aside from contributing to the overall well functioning of the ESelfKey DAO, active members have the opportunity to mint work tokens by completing certain tasks. 

At the moment, there are some essential activities that participants can perform to help ESelfKey DAO in achieving its goals. 

Here are some examples:

  • Invite Friends.
  • Post social media (SM) messages generated by the system.
  • Engage with the official ESelfKey SM posts.
  • Be active in the official discord channel.
  • Stake on own credentials to increase security and reliability of the system.
  • Help with developer and designer tickets based on DAO grants.
  • Showing initiative and creativity in developing new ideas or solutions.

Invite Friends

Inviting friends to join ESelfKey DAO can increase the membership and participation of the platform. This could offer more resources for the system, as friends could potentially bring in new skills and connections.

If more people join ESelfKey DAO, the network security of the ESelfKey ecosystem can grow. The benefit of this is that it can potentially result in greater visibility, influence, and impact within the larger community. 

Even more, a constant flow of new participants to the DAO can be a valuable strategy for expanding and strengthening it. It can increase its resources and capabilities, and build a more powerful sense of community and collaboration among its members.

Post social media (SM) messages generated by the system

It’s highly important for members to actively post SM messages generated by the system in order to boost the visibility of ESelfKey DAO and its activities. This way, participants can help expand the ESelfKey network by bringing awareness to the platform and its goals.

By using system-generated Social Media messages, ESelfKey DAO can make sure that its content is consistent and on-brand. This can help create credibility and build trust among the community.

Another benefit of SM messages generated by the system is that it can be more efficient than manually creating and posting each message. This can save time and resources, allowing members of the DAO to focus on other important activities.

Engage with official ESelfKey SM posts

Engaging with official ESelfKey SM posts could help members stay informed with the latest official news and connect with others participants.

It allows members to make informed decisions, increase their visibility, and potentially attract new business opportunities. Participants can also give constructive feedback, which can lead to platform upgrades that could benefit the entire community. 

Additionally, by engaging with official ESelfKey SM posts, active members can gain access to exclusive content or benefits that are not available anywhere else.

Be active in the official Discord channel

The ESelfKey Discord channel is a community hub where users can connect with other members of the ESelfKey community. 

Participants who stay active in the channel can engage with other individuals, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. Even more, active members can quickly get answers to their questions and find solutions to almost any problems they may encounter.

Our official discord channel is often the place where ESelfKey DAO announces and hosts various events and activities. Therefore, keeping up with the channel and actively participating in discussions, members can stay up-to-date with important news and information.

Showing initiative and creativity in developing new ideas or solutions

By showing drive and creativity, active members can help develop new ideas and solutions that will help the DAO grow. This can be anything from suggesting new features for the DAO's platform to proposing fresh methods for community governance.

Stake on own credentials to increase security and reliability of the system

By certifying that members have a deep-rooted interest in safeguarding their own credentials, the overall security of the system can be enhanced. This can also minimize the risk of credentials being lost or stolen, as well as help keep participants safe from identity theft or other security breaches.

Another advantage of staking is that it can increase the credibility of the system by motivating participants to make sure that their credentials are valid and up-to-date. This method may prevent errors or mistakes in the data, thus reducing delays or issues when using the platform.

Help with developer and designer tickets based on DAO grants

One of the key benefits of offering a grant within ESelfKey DAO is that members can mint tokens for their contributions to building the project. 

Helping with developer and designer tickets can improve the overall quality of the platform. By addressing technical issues and making improvements to the design, the platform can become more user-friendly, efficient, and effective. 

This can aid in attracting new users and retaining existing ones, as well as drive the growth of the DAO.

One way that members can contribute to the DAO is by delivering on development, design, and QA bounties based on grants. 

These bounties encourage members to tackle specific tasks that have to do with the development, design, and testing of the DAO's software. Participants can work together or individually to deliver high-quality work that meets the needs of the DAO and its community.

The Benefits and Uses of Work Tokens

As stated previously, ESelfKey DAO facilitates benefits for active members, such as being able to mint tokens. We’ve elaborated on the activities active members can perform. Now, let us focus more thoroughly on how participants can make use of the work tokens they mint.

Work tokens can be exchanged for NFT packs

SelfKey’s NFTs are called Normies, and they can be customizable to fit the user’s personal preferences.

Here are some advantages Normies bring to members:

  • they allow users to express their unique creativity and personality by creating one-of-a-kind digital assets. 
  • they can increase the originality of the asset, as it becomes more exclusive and personalized. 
  • they enable members to have greater control over their digital assets.
  • they allow members to modify or add additional content to their NFT.

The NFT packs that members can obtain by exchanging work tokens can be used in several ways.

  • To customize Normies around a specific theme or concept, such as a particular genre or event, such as: fandoms, movies, games, music, etc.
  • To customize Normies by choosing the background, outfits, hair styles, skin color and texture, or additional details.
  • To create different levels of rarity among the NFTs contained within them. For example, a pack could contain one or more ultra-rare, limited-edition wearables.
  • To build a collection of related or complementary NFTs. This can motivate members to collect multiple packs in order to complete the entire set.

Additionally, ESelfKey’s NFT packs can include unlockable content, such as additional media or exclusive access to events.

Work tokens can be used to participate in DAO Governance

DAO governance is ideal for members because: 

  • Decisions are made through a decentralized voting system that takes every participant’s opinion into consideration. This method aims to create an inclusive environment, in which every member may have a chance to express their opinions. 
  • It represents a more fair and open method of organization which strives to benefit every active member, as every participant may equally contribute to the developement of the DAO.

Conclusions

Centralized systems are based on pyramid structures, where the majority have to follow the rules and authority of the few. Typically, in this kind of structure, individuals have no way of voicing their needs, let alone have them met.

DAOs, on the other hand, can be shaped by the participants’ direct involvement. This is why it is important to keep DAOs active. It is in the benefit of every active member, as they may shape the future of the DAO by their active contribution to the organization. And this may offer them the liberty to express their ideas and thoughts which, unlike within centralized systems, may be considered. 

ESelfKey DAO is working on developing the most efficient engagement system to make sure that active members are constantly involved with the development of the DAO. It’s likely to become the ideal space in which individuals can safely engage and have their needs heard and met.

ESelfKey DAO: Revolutionizing Web3 Interactions https://selfkey.org/selfkey-dao-revolutionizing-web3-interactions/ Tue, 14 Mar 2023 14:10:23 +0000 https://selfkey.org/?p=4205  Summary 

The rise of technology has made a great impact all around the world. It changed the way we communicate, work, and study. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), most of our daily tasks are made considerably easier, and access to information has never been more effortless. However, in order to benefit from all the wonders of AI, we have to become part of its world.

Most of our private information had to evolve from physical papers to digital identities, which are stored in centralized systems. But while traditional, centralized systems are convenient, they may put our private data in danger due to their weak security measures.

Thankfully, solutions are being developed to change the way we authenticate ourselves online and the way we perform individuality-based activities on Web3. Technology can help protect our private information, just as much as it can be used to compromise it. The key is to remember that we can use AI for our benefit.

In this article, we will thoroughly elaborate on DAOs, ESelfKey DAO (including specific terms like KEY, SELF, and NFTs), and how user engagement in the DAO will be beneficial for individuals in the long run.

Humans and Digital Identity

How we operate in the online world

Nowadays, we operate in the online world in many ways. We use various tools and platforms to connect, communicate, and collaborate with one another across the globe. For instance social media, messaging apps, online forums, and video conferencing. The web has opened up endless opportunities for people to share information, ideas, and experiences. 

However, as with any aspect of human behavior, there are also challenges and risks associated with operating in the online world. One of the biggest concerns is the safety of our personal data

The risks we take when performing individuality-based activities online

When we engage in individuality-based activities online that involve sharing personal information, we expose ourselves to a variety of potential risks. 

For example, personal information shared online can be accessed either by AI or human identity thieves, putting our privacy and security at risk. Even seemingly small details such as our names, birthdates, or email addresses can become targets which bad players may use to compromise our security. This can lead to AI attempting to create fake identities using our leaked personal data. 

What can we do to avoid those risks?

Being cautious about what we share online and keeping our privacy safe is very important. However, it is equally important to make sure that the individuals we engage with are not fake, AI-generated entities. 

Implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols within a DAO may be the most secure means of verifying that individuals are genuine, real persons. Not only that, but within a DAO, there is no single entity to govern and control our personal data. What a DAO strives to achieve is equality and fairness among its users, as well as maintain the security of their individuality.

DAOs vs centralized systems

A brief description of DAO 

A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a type of organization that usually operates using blockchain technology. This facilitates decentralized decision-making and transparent governance without the need for a centralized authority. 

DAOs are typically run by a group of individuals who hold tokens or cryptocurrency. Individuals can also vote on decisions related to the organization's operations, like funding proposals or changes to the organization's rules. 

How DAOs are revolutionizing individuality-based operations

DAOs  are changing the way individuals operate by innovating the concept of decision-making. 

In traditional organizations, individuals cannot materialize their ideas or concerns, due to the centralized systems based on hierarchies. DAOs, on the other hand, allow members to participate in decision-making processes and contribute to the organization's goals through decentralized governance mechanisms.

By using blockchain technology, DAOs enable trustless collaboration and eliminate the need for intermediaries. This method makes it easier for members to join and participate in collective decision-making. Additionally, it creates a more inclusive and democratic environment where each member can have an equal say and contribute to the organization's success.

Therefore, DAOs are empowering individuals to come together, build communities, and work towards common goals, without sacrificing their individuality or autonomy

DAOs and individuals

DAOs suffer from lack of user participation

Despite their potential benefits, DAOs can suffer from a lack of user participation. Because DAOs rely on decentralized decision-making, they require active participation from members to make decisions in a timely and effective manner.

How will user participation help DAOs “stay alive”

User participation is critical to the success and sustainability of DAOs. Without active participation from members, DAOs may struggle to make decisions, coordinate actions, and achieve their goals. Moreover, low participation can lead to apathy or disengagement. In turn, this can weaken the community and reduce the value of the DAO.

On the other hand, active user participation can help DAOs stay alive by:

  • Promoting engagement.
  • Building a strong community.
  • Ensuring a timely and effective manner decision-making process.

Ultimately, user participation is essential for DAOs to remain viable and achieve their goals over the long term.

The benefits of participating in DAOs

Participating in DAOs offers numerous advantages for individuals looking to collaborate and contribute to a community-driven effort. Aside from providing opportunities for innovation and community building, it has several more benefits, such as: 

  • Democratic decision-making
  • Increased security
  • Unique contributions
  • Transparency

ESelfKey DAO

After explaining the general concept of DAOs, let's examine the SelfKey DAO objectives. 

Individuality is a vital aspect that the ESelfKey DAO is focused on. In the ESelfKey Protocol, individuals value every member’s uniqueness in order to help protect their digital identity from theft and forgery. The aim is to create a safe environment with the help of AI-Powered Proof of Individuality, where valued members can operate using trustless and secure methods.

ESelfKey DAO strive to provide secure digital identity solutions. With strong credentials in cryptography and blockchain technology, ESelfKey DAO’s goals include protecting users' privacy and giving them control over their data. Credentials are lacking in the crypto industry, and they’re a need in order to keep users’ information safe from being doxxed.

Basically, ESelfKey’s goal is to develop a method for individuals to engage with one another in a decentralized, trustless environment, while their private data and individuality remain safe and secure.

Important Terminology in ESelfKey DAO

What is KEY?

The KEY utility token is the centerpiece of the ESelfKey Protocol. 

It has several uses, such as:

  • Being a means of payment for services within the ESelfKey Protocol.
  • Individuals may use it to lock credentials on.
  • Being utilized to govern and empower members of the ESelfKey DAO.
  • Providing the necessary tools for users to take control of their digital identity.

As more individuals join the ESelfKey Protocol, the potential uses of KEY will only continue to expand, further cementing its importance as a vital component of the decentralized digital identity revolution.

What is SELF?

While KEY remains the vital utility token to lock on credentials, ESelfKey has proposed SELF tokens in order to help an individual keep track of what they have locked and for what period of time. 

Here are some of SELF’s attributes:

  • Individuals who properly lock on a real identity may mint SELF tokens.
  • Users themselves may issue SELF tokens.
  • They do not have any intrinsic value.
  • SELF tokens may also have utility as a governance mechanism
  • SELF tokens can be unlocked through DAO voting.

SelfKey’s NFTs

At SelfKey, active members have the opportunity to earn NFTs by participating in the community and contributing to the project.

One of the unique features of ESelfKey's NFTs is that they are highly customizable. This means that individuals can tailor their NFTs to their specific needs and preferences. 

ESelfKey places a great emphasis on individuality, recognizing that each person has their own unique identity and set of circumstances. It is a platform that truly values individuality and helping people take control of their own identity and data. This is reflected in the customizability of its tokens and the overall design of the platform. 

How to participate in the ESelfKey DAO

Participating in the ESelfKey DAO and claiming tokens offers many benefits, such as:

  • The ability to have a say in the project's direction.
  • Voting rights on proposals.
  • Access to exclusive community events.
  • The opportunity to claim SELF tokens through active participation in the DAO.

The ESelfKey DAO provides a platform for community members to be more engaged and invested in the success of the ESelfKey Protocol.

Here is how to do it:

  1. First, a user must perform a KYC check in order to properly authenticate themselves as a real person and the person whom they claim to be. Afterwards, they will join the DAO.
  2. The user will then be able to lock KEY tokens on their KYC credentials. Afterwards, they will be able to start accumulating SELF tokens.
  3. SELF tokens can be used to purchase NFT packs with particular customizations.
  4. Alternatively, the user can mint their SELF tokens and use them for whatever purpose they find useful and fit.
  5. Finally, users can contribute to the ESelfKey DAO by performing tasks issued by the ecosystem.

All in all, active participation and engagement in the ESelfKey DAO can bring significant benefits to the ESelfKey Protocol and its members. Members can actively participate in the decision-making process to shape the direction of the project, ensuring alignment with their interests and needs.

Additionally, engagement can help build a stronger sense of community among ESelfKey users, fostering a supportive environment for learning and growth. 

Ultimately, a thriving ESelfKey DAO requires active participation from its members, and those who are willing to engage will reap the benefits of a more robust and inclusive ecosystem.

Conclusions: 

Unfortunately, most people still rely on centralized systems. However, with the development of decentralized solutions, individuals may be able to take charge of managing and storing their personal data.

The ESelfKey DAO aims to assist individuals in gaining full control of their private data, enabling them to safely engage in Web3 transactions based on their individuality. Despite being a small ecosystem at present, it is secure and has the potential to reach new heights with the help of user participation and engagement. 

As the ESelfKey DAO develops, users will derive more benefits from it. Ultimately, it is user contribution that will enable ESelfKey to achieve its long-term goals.
