In this community call, Kyle from Zorro provided an overview of Zorro, a proof-of-personhood protocol designed to ensure that users are unique individuals. The project aims to make online governance more democratic and equitable by preventing duplicate accounts. Kyle highlighted the challenges of building on StarkNet, such as the early-stage development of its ecosystem, and shared insights on why StarkNet’s low fees, scalability, and future potential, like Lydium, made it the ideal platform for Zorro.
Key features of Zorro include the use of zero-knowledge proofs for privacy, a notary system to verify profiles, and the integration of Klaros for dispute resolution. Kyle emphasized that Zorro aims to make the user experience smoother and more affordable than existing solutions like Proof of Humanity, which has high fees on Ethereum.
The second part of the call was led by Tom from StarkWare, who introduced StarkNet Alpha 0.7.0, a significant update that includes contract upgradeability, events, and the ability to access block timestamps and block numbers. These features were much anticipated by the developer community and are expected to enhance the development and deployment of applications on StarkNet.
The call concluded with a discussion on upcoming features, including the fee mechanism and decentralization plans for StarkNet. The community was encouraged to participate in discussions on StarkNet’s future, including licensing and governance. The call ended with an invitation for developers to showcase their projects in future community calls.
