The primary objective of this CodeJam is to equip participants with practical experience in designing and building privacy-preserving digital identity solutions using the Self Protocol. Inspired by the principles of zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure, this session will guide developers to integrate Self’s identity verification into dApps, ensuring secure and trustless user onboarding on the Celo blockchain. Participants will learn how to implement Self’s SDKs, connect proofs to on-chain logic, and build real-world use cases for identity in Web3.
