By offering a **standardized framework** for skill verification and community-driven education, **Zenbit Badges** enhances Web3 accessibility, supports financial inclusion, and accelerates ecosystem adoption. It enables users to showcase their skills effectively during both live and virtual events with a secure and transparent method for certifying the mastery of Web3 tools space. Acting as a bridge between Web3 technology and mainstream users, the platform creates an intuitive and inclusive environment for learning, skill verification, and professional growth.\n\n### Key Features v0.1.0\n\n- Smart contract to track events, mentors and participants\n- Automated EAS attestations for event participants\n- Customizable OSS repository\n- Four type of onchain certifications:\n    - Ethereum Onboarding\n    - DAO formation\n    - DAO Incubation\n    - Live Event / Workshop\n- Four type of verification Quiz\n    - Multi-option quiz\n    - DAO membership through Safe Multisig and ENS\n    - Mirror Article author verification\n    - Secret word or written quiz\n- Three user roles\n    - Mentors\n    - Participants\n    - Communities\n- AttestDeFi expansion for token distribution to Event participants (hackathon prototype)\n\n![Zenbit Badges Main Screen](https://github.com/zenbitETH/Public-Assets/blob/main/Zenbit%20Badges/zb4.png?raw=true)\n\n### Problem\n\nIn the rapidly evolving landscape of Web3, communities often rely on manual attestations to verify user achievements and contributions. This manual process is fraught with challenges:\n\n- **Lack of Standardization**: Without a unified system, different communities employ various methods for attestation, leading to inconsistency and confusion among users.\n- **Verification Gaps**: Manual attestations are prone to errors and can be manipulated, raising concerns about the authenticity and integrity of the certifications.\n- **Inefficiency**: The manual process is time-consuming for issuers and recipients, hindering scalability and broader adoption.\n- **Limited Transparency**: Participants cannot easily verify the legitimacy of their attestations, which undermines trust in the system.\n\nThese issues create barriers to entry for newcomers and impede the professional growth of existing community members. There is a clear need for a streamlined, secure, and verifiable attestation mechanism that enhances user experience and trust.\n\n### ZB Solution\n\nZenbit Badges addresses these challenges by introducing a decentralized application (dApp) coupled with a smart contract that automate the attestation process. The key components of our solution include:\n\n- **Onchain Verification**: By leveraging Ethereum Attestation Service, we ensure that all attestations are immutable and transparently recorded onchain.\n- **Four Types of Quiz Verification**: To validate the legitimacy of each attestation, we have implemented four distinct quiz mechanisms:\n    - Multi-Option Quizzes: Assess users\u2019 knowledge through multiple-choice questions relevant to the certification.\n    - DAO Membership Verification: Confirm active participation in a DAO via Safe Multisig and ENS integration.\n    - Content Creation Verification: Authenticate authorship of Mirror articles.\n    - Secret Word/Written Quizzes: Utilize unique codes or written responses to verify attendance at live events or workshops.\n- **Smart Contracts for Proof Generation**: Our contracts automatically generate cryptographic proofs upon successful quiz completion, which are then recorded onchain to attest to the user\u2019s achievement.\n- **User-Friendly Interface**: The dApp offers an intuitive interface that guides users through the verification process, making it accessible even to those new to Web3 technologies.\n\nBy automating verification and leveraging smart contracts, Zenbit Badges provides a robust solution that enhances trust, efficiency, and scalability in community attestations.\n\n### Web3 Skills Framework\n\nThe **Zenbit Web3 Skills Framework** serves as the backbone for our badge system, outlining a clear pathway for users to develop and demonstrate their Web3 competencies. This framework is meticulously designed to align with industry standards and community needs, ensuring relevance and value for all participants.\n\nIt considers four specialization levels\n\n1.
