1. Reclaim Protocol

Website: https://www.reclaimprotocol.org/ Description: Reclaim Protocol enables privacy-preserving identity verification through zkTLS proofs. It allows users to prove ownership and standing of social accounts (professional networks, developer platforms, social media) without exposing account credentials or personal data. Usage in P2P Protocol: P2P Protocol integrates Reclaim Protocol for social account verification as part of its multi-tiered ZK-KYC system. This enables users to build reputation and unlock higher transaction limits while maintaining privacy. Key Features:
  • zkTLS-based proof generation
  • Non-interactive verification
  • Selective attribute disclosure
  • Cross-platform support (GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
  • Privacy-first architecture
