The Icebreaker lookup frame and cast action can now load the full icebreaker experience as a mini app

Working on handling authentication with privy to automate sign in so you can do things like:
- endorse
- request intros
- search your hypernetwork

Thank you to @eliperelman and @horsefacts.eth for the collab!
The 3 levels of zkTLS implementations.

1. Prove identity
2. Export "locked" data
3. Do 1 and 2 interoperably

Fun idea with scoutgame :)

Here's my profile: https://scoutgame.xyz/u/web3pm

Rank 138... need to build

Just removed ~10 members who were able to join while we were QA'ing our new channel rules in modbot.

If you feel you were removed in error, simply try the welcome frame, or reply
Want to message a former colleague?

Unless you pay when using legacy platforms

"via calendar" verification of work domain
For about 6 hours tonight, there was a bug where the Icebreaker Lookup would error out for users where no guild memberships were found.

Apologies for the inconvenience if you experienced any issues with the lookup during this time.

This is now fixed as of ~10 min ago.
@scoutgamexyz @ccarella.eth any plans on honoring github if it's already been verified on icebreaker?

You can easily look up if there is one based on fid or fname

eg for @tayyab :
https://app.icebreaker.xyz/api/v1/fname/tayyab
/guild memberships now returned in Icebreaker API

Opened PR to add support in @modbot

@eliperelman upgraded the frame this evening to now also show verified companies

If you have verified any company from your work history through email or a peer endorsement, your profile will now display with the verified chips

It’s a small change but I love seeing the credential in chip form

The open source Icebreaker frame supports pre-loading a profile in the URL, using either an fid or fname.

Example:
https://frame.icebreaker.xyz/api/fid/1656

This means you can reuse Icebreaker profiles anywhere frames are supported, like in my @basename profile page

We are entering a new era.

Early zkTLS implementations have a lot of compromises across trust, UX, speed, and developer experience.

But they’re finally far enough along where we can use them to accelerate our product while tolerating the trade offs (which will improve)

This wasn’t true ~60 days ago.

I say this not as a recent convert to the zkTLS bandwagon (many rn) but after waiting 2 years for this to arrive.

We built icebreaker around the thesis that data will become open, powered by zkTLS and similarly disruptive technologies.

However, it will take a lot longer for apps to manifest because very few are building interoperable applications on top of this data. Aside from us, web2 will be the bigger early adopter of this tech because there are very clear value props around attacking competitors.

Would love to see more VC investment in other *applications* (incl. competitors) building using interoperable zkTLS data.
The biggest tech unlocks are not from fundamental technologies but their successful applications in the real world

The technology that LLMs are based on had been around for decades until someone built one powerful enough to turn heads and change the world
ChannelKit now supports Icebreaker for moderation

Comparing to modbot, ChannelKit is currently designed to be self-hosted (ie, you fork the code, tweak, and deploy yourself), while modbot is currently hosted.

Great for channel hosts to have both options!
Happy to see attestations supported in Channel Kit tonight (s/o @zachterrell for the review & merge)

Any credential or data from /icebreaker is now usable in /channel-kit

There are 3 off the shelf rules you simply uncomment to activate-
- Verified work domain
- Verified human
- Verified qBuilder

The library and typing is also there so you can create any other rules using the data (like requiring a verified TikTok or instagram account to join)

Happy to help if anyone needs support adding something specific
It would be cool to be able to “sponsor” other users to become members of a channel that you think they’d enjoy

Helps solve the problem of channel growth by tapping the people who are already in.

And it could be a source of serendipity for receiving users.
Icebreaker linked (and optionally verified) accounts are now live in /modbot

You can now require one or more of Icebreaker's 62 account types supported and optionally require them to be verified.

Want real listeners in /music? Require spotify

Want true collectors in /nft? Require opensea or superrare

Want performative professional content? Require linkedin

Your channel = your choice.
Still don't quite understand how the new new channels work but I really dig the design changes

Want to look up anyone on Farcaster?

Launching an open source frame + cast action

https://frame.icebreaker.xyz/api

Now you can easily look up anyone from Farcaster and see verified accounts and credentials, or view full profile on Icebreaker.

Install the cast action and look up directly from any cast.

Each person has control over how much... or little info they share.
