HOW WORLDCOIN IS LEVERAGING ZKPROOFS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This Twitter thread explains how Worldcoin recently registered a set of "identity commitments" - cryptographic proof that one possesses a private key for one of the registered identities. This unique zkProof doesn't reveal specific identities, ensuring privacy. Along with the proof, a public message or "signal" can be attached, e.g., claiming a grant or casting a vote. Since these zkProofs are anonymous, it's impossible to trace them back to an individual. The verification of zkProofs occurs on-chain on Optimism, and Worldcoin uses the Semaphore protocol to further protect privacy.
