Gitcoin Passport and Zora: Propelling a Sybil-Free Summer 2023

Gitcoin Passport proposes an innovative and dynamic partnership with Zora for the creation and distribution of the Sybil Free Summer 2023 Zine on the Zora NFT platform. This initiative represents a potent opportunity to leverage Zora's respected position in the zine world and continue building on the success of our past zine collaborations.
Furthermore, we aim to efficiently help Zora integrate the Gitcoin Passport Scorer API. This will not only facilitate the execution of our proposed initiative but also open up the possibility for ANYONE to create a Passport-protected Zora NFT mint, enhancing user engagement and broadening the ecosystem.
Zine Proposal:
The proposed zine would be minted in a manner that is visually appealing and stylish. Its content would explore critical topics related to the online world and web3, such as the cost of forgery and the importance of Sybil defense, elucidated by anti-Sybil experts in the field including those from Gitcoin, Zora, Sismo, Civic, OpenDataforWeb3, and more.
This zine will also showcase testimonials from web3 leaderes have reaped benefits from Sybil-free initiatives (like Galxe and Linea which integrated and benefitted from partnering with Gitcoin Passport, as well as Guild.xyz). The compelling narratives and unique insights from early adopters of anti-Sybil tools would drive new user engagement and foster a deeper understanding of the significance of a Sybil-free environment.
Moreover, the zine would feature enthralling artwork reflecting the theme of #SybilFreeSummer making it a visually engaging and thought-provoking reading experience.
The Gitcoin team has written extensively about all things anti-Sybil, so we will not have to write everything from scratch.
Exclusivity to Passport holders:
To create a sense of exclusivity and appreciate our dedicated community, this Zine would be available only to people with a Passport score of over 15. This would incentivize our community members to engage more with our platform and work towards enhancing their Passport scores.
Mint Fee:
Ideally, there would be a mint fee that helps fund Passport development and further solidifies its position as a valuable tool in the web3 space. But this is debatable.
Date of Release:
We're targeting a release window in late August 2023. We could repurpose a lot of the material
Impact and Future Outlook:
By emphasizing our dedication to creating a Sybil-free summer, the Zine would serve as an important historical artifact and testament to Gitcoin and Zora’s shared commitment to anti-Sybil. The evolution of web3 necessitates robust Sybil detection and defense tools. This collaboration aims to bring these tools to the forefront and illuminate their growing importance.
By partnering with Zora and aiding their integration of the Gitcoin Passport Scorer API, we're not just affirming that being part of a Sybil-free community is a beneficial endeavor; we're asserting that it's cool, crucial, and contributes substantially to the progress of the Internet as we know it.
Let's join hands and make Sybil-free Summer 2023 a landmark in the evolution of web3.
