Trust infrastructure conversations, for a better world full of cozy corners. Essential reading: https://tonk.substack.com/p/you-should-design-trust-infrastructure
Our fantastic grantee @rutefig built a proof of residency app that verifies that you pay utility bills in Portugal without telling everyone your address or how much you pay for electricity.
Here’s how it works:
1. Upload a utility bill PDF with an ATCud signature
2. Generate a proof on a throwaway unique server with Succinct's SP1
3. Verify the proof on Hylé
You now have proof of residency without oversharing unnecessary personal details.
ATCud is a unique QR code on Portuguese invoices that is validated by the tax authority.
It ensures the document is signed and trustworthy, which is perfect for creating provable, private proofs of residency.

I believe calling the system we trust most “trustless” is a mistake

Trust infrastructure begins with proper identity management. And that's where zk accounts come into play!
This is an excellent blog post about how people control each other and themselves − trusts, cultural values, contracts… It's an essential read for all trust infrastructure enthusiasts, in my opinion.

Have you heard of provable apps?
They're a broad category that includes the more well-known zkApps, apps that run off-chain but verify their logic on-chain.

Another variation on the same model! What's one thing that definitely is trust infrastructure… but that we really don't consider as such?
Reversing our last prompt! What's one thing that isn't technically trust infrastructure, but is an absolute prerequisite to trust infra?
What's one thing that isn't technically trust infrastructure, but that just won't happen without trust infrastructure?
Can the principles of trust infrastructure be applied to foster stronger relationships with your family and friends?

I sure was vibing during that demo
In the future every online group will have its own PKI
Trust infrastructure seems more critical than ever in the age of misinformation at scale. How do you see it happening?

Thanks for throwing such a great event guys!
