You can now tap into the Unitap.app. It is a great new app to get your network users or community started by distributing tiny amounts of gas or community tokens to users verified by BrightID. Gitcoin Grants round 14 is in progress and the Decentralized Society paper stirs an interesting debate.
The Unitap app serves as a gateway to networks and communities. Sometimes you just need a small amount of tokens to start using a network or to participate in a community. This can be a big problem for communities and networks. How do you distribute small amounts of crypto to onboard new users without the burden of a large amount of fake users or bots (sybil attack)?
Unitap solves this problem by using BrightID. Everyone can get verified as a unique person with the BrightID app and then connect to the Unitap app to receive a small amount of tokens. At the moment you can receive a small amount of xDAI on the Gnosis Chain and small amounts of gas tokens for some test networks.
New networks will be added. If you want to distribute tokens for your network or community read the introduction on Mirror and join the Unitap Discord channel to discuss the details.
In June, Gitcoin kicked off their grants round 14 with the motto “ReFi summer is here!”. You can help build and fund the open web by making a small donation to one of your favorite projects. There are lots of great projects to choose from. Your donation will be matched from over $3 million in matching funds.
To increase the matching for your donation, make sure you increase your “Trust Bonus”. This round there is a new way of increasing your Trust Bonus. Visit Gitcoin Passport to create your proof of personhood and complete stamps from your social media accounts, from Proof of Humanity, from your POAPs and of course with your verified BrightID.
Like in previous rounds, BrightID is taking part in this round too. You can support our mission by donating to the BrightID grant on Gitcoin.

The paper ‘Decentralized Society: Finding Web3's Soul’ by Glen Weyl, Puja Ohlhaver and Vitalik Buterin stirred a lot of debate. Team members of BrightID have been discussing what role BrightID could play in such Decentralized Society (DeSoc). As BrightID creates the possibility to work with Soul Bound Tokens(SBTs), that might play a huge role, as the web3 space realizes BrightID’s potential in it. Some members of the community have great conviction that BrightID enabled SBTs have the most desirable properties amenable to DeSoc that no other implementation has been able to afford yet. If you are interested in the discussion in general, listen to this Green Pill podcast, Unchained podcast, or join the BrightID discord channel and talk to us.
