Workshop Instructors ~ ETHBerlin Instructions

A guide to providing work proofs for your workshop attendees

The objective of Zinc being used as an official dApp at ETHBerlin is for attendees to take proofs of what they’ve learnt and achieved over the weekend home with them. Zinc will be deploying mainnet ERC725 identities & ENS subdomains to the ETHBerlin participants. Kick-off their decentralised reputation by adding work claims their Web3 identity this weekend.

Steps for workshop instructors

Providing “work proofs” to your workshop attendees

Sign-up to (https://zinc.work/) with LinkedIn or Metamask. If you use Metamask, you must connect your LinkedIn account in order to provide a ‘work proof’. You can sign-in through Metamask and then connect LinkedIn from your account page (bottom left of profile) afterward. Collect your workshop attendees Zinc profile URL and navigate to it. On the attendees' profile, click the “Give work proof” button under their name. You must be signed in to your profile in that browser to see this option. Complete the form (Event = ETHBerlin), add the content of the workshop to the description. Rinse and repeat the process for all the attendee’s URLs you have.

I have my 725 & ENS subdomain, what shall I do now?

Your ENS subdomain is acting as the management key for your 725 contract. Your personal ERC725 contract is deployed on the main Ethereum network — you control. You can add/remove keys to the contract — since currently you can only interact with your ENS subdomain’s associated keys. Or you can add/remove identity claims to your new identity!

You may wish to change the set of keys pointing to your ENS subdomain. Set a resolver for your subdomain, so you can receive funds at this address. Or you can reverse resolve the record for your ENS subdomain to be visible on other compatible dApps. Read more here: http://docs.ens.domains/en/latest/userguide.html?highlight=subdomains You can start interacting with your new identity contract by starting to associate claims to it. The contract is built in a self-sovereign fashion, so you can self-attest claims or ask others to attest for you. There are lots of teams working on ERC725 compatible projects. Via Zinc’s UI, you can add work-based identity claims to your contract.
