Online dating has been made a daunting experience thanks to phishing and fake profiles, but AsMatch is here to help. We know that safety is a top priority when it comes to online dating, which is why we’re thrilled to announce that we’re taking user verification and privacy to the next level by integrating Manta Network’s zkBABs.

So, what’s the big deal with zkBABs? Well, they’re a game-changer when it comes to online identity verification. zkBABs are private, verifiable on-chain credentials of real user identity. AsMatch will use zkBABs to confirm the authenticity of users looking to match with each other and to address the problem of user authenticity that’s all too prevalent in Web2. In other words, we can confirm that our users are who they say they are!

And here’s the coolest part — AsMatch is the first dAPP to implement Manta Network’s zkBABs using wallet-less authentication. That means your privacy is protected, and Web2 users can easily and freely access Web3 applications. No more fake profiles or catfishing, because users who minted zkBABs have already undergone Binance KYC approval!

Minting a zkBAB is easy-peasy, lemon squeezy. Just follow the instructions available here, and you’re on your way to having a verified identity on AsMatch. The NPO platform on Manta Network allows you to directly mint your zkBAB after verifying your BAB ownership. And here’s the best part: AsMatch users who utilize Manta Network’s zkBAB as their identity credential will be rewarded with additional scores to incentivize verification. A higher player score enhances the likelihood of receiving airdrops later. So not only are you keeping yourself safe, but you’re also getting rewarded for it!

About AsMatch

We don’t want to brag, but AsMatch is the world’s first astrology-based Web3 Social-Fi matching app built for mobile. We officially launched on April 4th, and since then we’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you an app that combines AI-generated content (AIGC), zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), and zkSBTs powered by Manta Network.

We’re bringing a compelling gamified experience through our match-to-earn model with token incentives that improve gender imbalance, and the app’s zkSBT with on-chain credentials that eliminates fake profiles and catfishing. This means you’ll be finding dates, making new friends, and professional networking in no time! Not to mention that our powerful astrology-focused matching engine connects users with similar interests. Plus, the app’s wallet-less mobile matching app makes us user-friendly to Web2 and Web3 users. What’s not to love?

About zkBAB

If you’re wondering about zkBAB, it’s the first zkSBT launched by Manta Network through the NFTPrivate Offering (NTO) platform. By leveraging the existing Binance Account Bound (BAB) token, zkBAB allows any BAB token holders to mint a corresponding, privacy-preserving zkBAB.

The zkBAB marks a major new milestone in on-chain identity, offering both a level of compliance verification with on-chain privacy benefits, delivered in a decentralized manner that is controlled by the user. In addition to retaining the functionality of regular BAB, zkBAB offers additional features which are user-friendly and privacy-preserving.

  • User-friendly: Combined with Proof Keys, zkBAB users will be able to verify their Binance KYC without the need to connect a wallet to an application, creating a seamless user experience for mobile and desktop applications.
  • Privacy-preserving: The zkBAB allows users to verify that they, in fact, have an associated BAB, without the need for revealing any other information; i.e., wallet address, transactions, additional fungible or non-fungible assets, and any other on-chain information isn’t revealed with the verification of the zkBAB.
