Towards a decentralized social trust solution to proof-of-address

Abstract

The traditional way of proofing someone’s address typically relies on using formal documents like a utility bill of a trustworthy local or national institution. Although largely used, this approach may not be viable in some scenarios like people in poverty without official documents. In this poster, we propose an alternative way to proof someone’s address using decentralized social trust. We have done an initial validation of this proposal by building a mobile application and by using it with a few users and devices.
