Aura is a decentralized way to evaluate and determine eligibility in domains such as:
- Human uniqueness (one account per person)
- Work performance or eligibility
- Certifications
- Community membership
- Physical residence
- Insurance claims
- Grant eligibility
- Accomplishments or impact
- Voter eligibility
- Compliance
Although Aura was original created to assist in the human uniqueness (BrightID) domain, the protocol is interoperable with these and many other domains.
What sets Aura apart:
- Participation is open to anyone
- Evaluation impact is determined by existing participants and the wisdom of the crowd (those who rely on Aura evaluations)
Although anyone is welcome to play Aura to create evaluations or verify other people, this isn't required to get an Aura verification.
People who just want a verification should follow the simple instructions in Aura Verified. No personal information is shared with Aura players that they don't already know.
Verification proofs follow advanced standards of privacy to ensure that information isn't leaked between domains or apps.
