Video Brief: Identity Staking V2 and the Co-creation of a Trust Graph on Gitcoin Passport

Narrator:
Imagine an app that invites you to build a digital network where you and the most trustworthy people you know are recognized and rewarded by your peers. Introducing Identity Staking on Gitcoin Passport. 

Narrator:
"Identity Staking allows you to “stake” your GTC tokens to vouch for your own or someone else's trustworthiness while helping build a network of verified humans used to ____.

[On-screen Animation]

"Graphic animations showing GTC tokens being staked on profiles."maybe the screen shows a bunch of profiles represented by circles with a human photo in it, and it shows a hand moving tokens onto multiple circles

Narrator:
"When you stake on yourself, your Unique Humanity Score goes up and their score goes up too. But your score goes up also if you stake on other people too! It’s an instant perk that reflects your participative value in the community."

Laura alt

Stake GTC on yourself to increase your Unique Humanity Score. Stake on your friends and gain even more points! It’s an instant perk that also reflects your legitimacy and participative value in the Gitcoin community.

[On-screen Animation]

"A score meter filling up with each staking action."

Maybe the screen shows the unique humanity score meter going from like 15 to 22?

ALSO: "A score meter filling up someone else’s score."

Narrator:
"Your staking does more than just boost your Unique Humanity Score; it adds you as a node in a growing web of trusted individuals. You're helping to create a Trust Graph that anyone can tap into."

By staking your GTC on yourself and others, you’re doing more than boosting your Unique Humanity Score, you're helping to build a Trust Graph that anyone can tap into."

[On-screen Animation]

"A visual representation of the Trust Graph growing with each new node."
maybe something like this

Narrator:
"But stakes are called 'stakes' for a reason. You're putting your tokens at risk. If the person you vouched for—or even you yourself—prove untrustworthy, those staked tokens can be slashed."

Laura comment

This might be repositioned to answer the question “how we are ensuring people in the network are trustworthy?” vs. what’s the punishment. So something like:
 “How do we make sure that those on our Trust Graph are who they say they are? Passport relies on a token slashing mechanism to weed out fake accounts. Users who have duplicate accounts or who have staked on duplicate accounts can have their tokens extracted from their wallets.

[On-screen Animation]

"Animations demonstrating the slashing of staked tokens."

maybe the screen shows a stack of staked coins being sliced like with a katana and the GTC going away?

Narrator:
”This Trust Graph matters because developers looking to establish a reliable network of users doesn’t have to start from scratch; they can leverage Passport’s Trust Graph to immediately tap into a list of trustworthy users."

[On-screen Animation]

"Icons representing various applications connecting to the Trust Graph."

maybe the animator can show an application being built on top of the trust graph, visually seen as a layer on top of the the trust graph layer

Narrator:
"Identity Staking gives us the power to identify and empower the most trustworthy people in web3. If you know someone is trustworthy, vouch for them!"

[On-screen Animation]

"Call to Action: 'Stake Now to Build A More Trustworthy Web3'"

Narrator:
"Join us in this exciting journey and become a part of something bigger than any of us—a network where trust is transparent, decentralized, and shared. Stake your GTC with Passport today!"
