About Prosopo
Who We Are
Prosopo is an innovative open-source project founded with a vision to revolutionize bot detection in the digital landscape. We're building the future of secure, privacy-first web interactions.
Unlike traditional services that may compromise user privacy or become cost-prohibitive at scale, Prosopo provides a privacy-conscious solution by utilizing a decentralized network of websites. This network grows stronger and more intelligent with each addition, enhancing our capability to identify bots effectively and securely while protecting user data.
What We Do
Our bot detection mechanism is a modern twist on conventional CAPTCHA systems, designed from the ground up to collect minimal information from users. Most of the detection process is executed directly in the browser, using advanced cryptographic proofs to ensure both privacy and security. This innovative method allows the server to verify user interactions without ever accessing personal data—a fundamental shift in how bot detection can work.
By leveraging cutting-edge web technologies and cryptographic principles, we're creating a solution that's both more secure and more respectful of user privacy than traditional alternatives.
Our Team
Prosopo was kickstarted with a grant from the prestigious Web3 Foundation, reflecting our commitment to decentralization and user empowerment in the digital age. This backing validates our approach and mission to create a more open, secure internet.
Our team consists of experienced product development and technology professionals, all dedicated to creating a more secure and user-controlled internet. We bring together expertise in cryptography, web security, open-source development, and product design to tackle one of the web's most persistent challenges.
