Rebase

Rebase is a data takeout for platforms built on reusable data containers. With normal data takeout, users can only download their information. With Rebase, users can then prove to anyone their verified activity history, reputation, and account data.

  • Issued verifiable credentials based on Sybil verification.
  • Issued verifiable credentials based on trade history from Serum and Uniswap.
  • Implemented demo credential verifier using Svelte and DIDKit-WASM.
  • Implemented demo credential verifier using DIDKit and Rocket.
