  1. Visit the Gitcoin Passport App
  2. Sign In with Ethereum
    • Click Sign in with Ethereum.
    • Connect your testnet wallet and sign the prompt to link your Ethereum address to the Passport app.

Step 3: Alternative Stamps (If Needed)

If you prefer more options or want to avoid KYC, consider these Stamps:

  • GitHub (7.06 points):
    Prove contributions on 30+ distinct days.
  • Google (0.525 points):
    Verify your Google account.
  • Discord (0.516 points):
    Prove ownership of a Discord account.

Step 4: Verify Your Unique Humanity Score

  1. Revisit the Gitcoin Passport App
    • After collecting Stamps, check your Unique Humanity Score on the app’s dashboard.
  2. Ensure Your Score Meets or Exceeds 20
    • Combine Stamps strategically to achieve the threshold.

Step 5: Use Passport for Access

  1. Return to our platform and log in using the testnet Ethereum wallet linked to your Passport.
  2. If your Passport score is 20 or higher, you’ll gain immediate access.
  3. If your score is below 20, revisit the Gitcoin Passport app to collect additional Stamps.

Tips for Building Your Score

  • Free Stamps: Use free options like Civic’s CAPTCHA or GitHub contributions if you want to save costs.
  • Plan Strategically: Focus on high-scoring Stamps like Holonym, Coinbase, and Civic for quick verification.
  • Collaborate: Identity Staking (14.18 points) allows you to build trust within your network.
