POM
Vision
Putting your identity and network in the palm of your hands.
Description
What is POM?
POM is a Polygon blockchain-based digital passport (my DID wallet), used to share my credentials, such as identity and employment history.
Why Polygon ID?
Polygon ID + POM app empowers users with self-sovereign identity, which is a digital identity that doesn't depend on a centralized system and is owned and controlled by the user.
What Problems Are We Solving?
Who can you trust in web3? - Don’t Trust, Verify.
How can you be sure the person you just met really works at that Upbit or Polygon?
Use DID for self-verification without exposing person details
Control - Fragmented networks - Fraudulent Activity
How Does POM Solve These Problems?
Social Proofs: Users can build a more trustworthy online presence by building a social profile with on-chain verifiable credentials through POM and Polygon ID.
- On-chain “Instagram verified badges” or “Twitter blue checks” to prove identity
- Profiles are similar to LinkedIn but with verified employment history through Polygon ID
Verified Organizations: POM will build out a network of organizations that will allow users to self-verify their identities. In the beginning, we will focus on acquiring strategic partnerships with web3 companies. Not only does this help with the verification of the individual, but it also puts more trust in the companies where they work. In the future, we can expand this to many other types of IRL organizations, such as local municipalities, academic institutions, and even national services—all of which have the ability to verify identification.
Proof of Meet: Building on the popular idea of “Proof of Attendance (POAP),” POM app expands that concept to IRL and online connections through a new concept, “Proof of Meet (POM)” POM allows users to collect an NFT (we call POM NFT) that represents each user’s verified identity and on-chain history of their interaction.
i.e. POAP records which event you visited, POM records who you met at those events
- Creates an on-chain history of your contacts - casual and professional networks
- Incentivizes organic connection IRL and online
User Types
Who is a HOLDER?
- Individuals using POM Profile (aka my DID wallet) app to display his or her verified professional profiles
- Use POM App
- Use Polygon App
Who is an ISSUER?
- A verified IRL organization (Coinbase, Binance, Consensys etc.)
- Employer, government organization, medical facility, or academic institution
Who is a VERIFIER?
- Any individual or entity checking HOLDER’s verified credentials on POM
What is Our MVP?
POM Identity (POM-ID)
User Profile page on the POM App is connected to the user's Polygon ID to prove the credentials entered in POM.
POM (Proof-of-Meet)
Each verified POM-ID will come equipped with a ERC1155 NFT that will represent each users identity. When connecting with a new user IRL or online. Users will be able to claim these badges to prove their history of meeting; POM.
