Currently, I’m testing these projects with different approaches to identity:

- [http://proofofhumanity.id/](http://proofofhumanity.id/)
- [https://passport.gitcoin.co/](https://passport.gitcoin.co/)
- [https://www.brightid.org/](https://www.brightid.org/)

The experience has been painful, with confusing workflows, usability and functionality issues between my wallet and the app. 🤷
