PeerPass Foundation
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🌍 About PeerPass Foundation
Q1. What is PeerPass Foundation?
PeerPass Foundation is a non-profit initiative that uses blockchain, AI, and zero-knowledge proof technologies to build peer-verified digital identity systems for underserved communities.
Our goal is to ensure that every person — regardless of nationality or background — can have a secure, verifiable, and dignified digital identity to access opportunities in education, healthcare, and social welfare.
Q2. What inspired the creation of PeerPass?
PeerPass was born from a simple belief — trust should be universal. Millions of people worldwide are denied access to services because they lack verified identities. PeerPass bridges that gap using technology that empowers individuals instead of controlling them.
Q3. How is PeerPass different from other digital ID systems?
Unlike centralized systems, PeerPass follows the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) model — where individuals own their data, control consent, and can share only what’s necessary.
Our verification happens through peers and trusted organizations, not governments or corporations.
We never sell, share, or exploit user data.
🧠 Technology and Security
Q4. What technologies power PeerPass?
PeerPass runs on a hybrid blockchain architecture combining Ethereum for transparency and Hyperledger Indy/Aries for privacy and governance.
It uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to confirm truth without revealing private information and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) for secure digital verification.
Q5. Is PeerPass data secure and private?
Absolutely. All personal data is encrypted end-to-end, stored on decentralized networks (IPFS/Filecoin), and managed only by the user’s private keys.
We comply with GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy standards — ensuring data belongs to the individual, not the platform.
Q6. Can PeerPass integrate with other systems?
Yes. PeerPass offers open APIs and supports OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect for integration with universities, NGOs, government services, and corporate HR systems.
It’s designed for interoperability — so identities verified once can work across multiple platforms.
🤝 Volunteering
Q7. How can I volunteer with PeerPass?
You can join as a tech volunteer, social ambassador, or local coordinator.
Volunteers help with outreach, onboarding users, conducting training sessions, and supporting pilot projects in their regions.
Simply visit the Join page and choose “Volunteer” to start the process.
Q8. What kind of skills do I need to volunteer?
Anyone can help.
If you’re technical, we welcome skills in web development, blockchain, AI, or cybersecurity.
If you’re non-technical, you can assist in community outreach, translation, social media, or education.
PeerPass values empathy and passion as much as technical expertise.
Q9. Do volunteers get certified or recognized?
Yes! Every active volunteer receives a PeerPass Verified Credential — a blockchain-verified proof of contribution that can be added to résumés, LinkedIn, or university applications.
Volunteers also gain early access to leadership programs and digital identity training modules.
💖 Donations and Philanthropy
Q10. How can I donate to PeerPass Foundation?
You can contribute directly via our secure donation portal using credit/debit cards, bank transfers, or digital wallets.
All donations are recorded on the PeerPass Blockchain Ledger, ensuring 100% transparency and traceability.
Q11. How do I know my donation is used properly?
Every transaction is publicly verifiable. You’ll receive a unique tracking link showing how and where your funds create impact — whether it’s digital IDs, scholarships, or community projects.
We also publish quarterly transparency reports on our website.
Q12. Can organizations or corporates donate or partner?
Yes. PeerPass welcomes CSR collaborations with corporates and institutional donors.
We provide co-branded visibility, audited impact metrics, and partnership certifications for organizations supporting verified inclusion projects.

🧩 Partnerships and Governance
Q16. Who governs the PeerPass Foundation?
PeerPass operates under a decentralized governance model (DAO), where major decisions are made through community and partner voting.
Advisory panels include experts in technology, ethics, and social development from around the world.
Q17. How does PeerPass sustain itself financially?
As a non-profit, we sustain operations through:
Grants and philanthropic donations
Technology partnerships
Ethical innovation projects (such as PeerPass APIs and training programs)
All revenues are reinvested into community inclusion and expansion.
Q18. How can governments or NGOs collaborate with PeerPass?
We provide a Partner Integration Framework to help governments, NGOs, and universities adopt PeerPass verification for identity, aid, or certification programs.
Collaborations are tailored — from pilot implementation to national-scale deployment.
