🎊 Congrats to Saharsh Agrawal, Findora’s #EthSF Hackathon winner!
Saharsh is using Findora and XMTP to build an identity-verified chat app that can be integrated into any Web3 game. His goal is to help protect gamers, but the tech has many other potential use cases.
Using ZK-DID, the browser extension Saharsh built could verify if a player was older than 18 without the player needing to reveal their birthdate. It would allow for players to be matched in the same age group or skill range while preserving their privacy. The same system can be adapted to verify other credentials.
As the grants program ramps back up, expect more from Saharsh Agrawal and many other developers building privacy into their dApps!
Be on the lookout for our updated grants landing page, coming in a couple of weeks!

There have been several inquiries from concerned FRA holders about canceled withdrawal requests on Gate.io. Communication has been made with their customer services team in an attempt to seek clarification. Though withdraw issues have yet to be resolved, the Gate team has stated their technical group is reviewing the situation.
Until more information is received from Gate.io, it is recommended that FRA holders not deposit their FRA tokens to Gate.io accounts. An update will be shared with the community when the Gate.io team has provided additional clarification.
While we seek clarification, FRA holders are also encouraged to reach out to Gate.io customer services until the issue is concluded.
Hope you find this helpful and please don't hesitate to reach out to Gate if you are experiencing FRA withdrawal issues.
