Self is an open-source monorepo for a privacy-preserving identity verification platform that lets users generate zero-knowledge proofs from government-issued IDs (e-passports, ICAO biometric ID cards, Aadhaar) via NFC chip scanning. It uses zk-SNARKs so verifiers can confirm attributes like age, nationality, or personhood without ever seeing the underlying document data.

Use cases

• verify users are real humans without collecting their ID documents
• add age verification that reveals only that a user is over 18
• protect crypto airdrops and quadratic funding from bot and sybil attacks
• screen users against sanctions lists before onboarding
• use government IDs as a wallet recovery mechanism
• add proof-of-humanity checks to social media profiles
• pair AI agents to verified human owners
• reduce KYC costs with pre-KYC eligibility screening

When to choose

• you need identity or age verification without storing sensitive personal data
• you want sybil resistance for airdrops, voting, or quadratic funding
• you need compliance checks (sanctions, nationality) with minimal data exposure
• you want to verify humanity for apps or AI agents at scale
• your users have NFC-capable phones and biometric passports or Aadhaar cards

When to avoid

• you need full KYC with document images and legal audit trails a regulated provider must hold
• your users lack NFC-capable devices or supported identity documents
• you need verification against non-ICAO documents not yet covered
• you want a simple username/password or OAuth-style authentication flow rather than cryptographic identity proofs
