🔗 Page 3: PoC Verification Logic

Conneth’s Proof-of-Connection (PoC) protocol is the heart of human identity on the blockchain — a decentralized system for verifying real social bonds between wallets without needing KYC or biometric surveillance.

🧠 What is PoC?

PoC is a mutual, cryptographic handshake between wallets that proves they know and trust each other. This becomes the foundation for:

• Reputation (Trust Score)

• Call eligibility

• Access control

• DAO voting rights

• Sybil-resistance

---

🛠️ PoC Process (On-Chain Steps)

1. Wallet A sends a PoC Request to Wallet B

   • Signed message using private key

   • Optionally includes purpose (friend, hire, moderate, etc.)

2. Wallet B receives and accepts

   • Confirms connection

   • Both wallets now have a mutual PoC link on-chain

3. Smart Contract records the PoC

   • Time-stamped

   • Trust strength (default: 1, grows over time)

   • Optional metadata (role, label, expiration)

4. PoC becomes a node in the Trust Graph

   • Used to compute Trust Scores

   • Enables call permissions and mining rights

🔍 On-Chain Contract Functions

Function	Description
request_poc(address target)	Initiates a PoC request
accept_poc(uint256 request_id)	Confirms mutual connection
get_poc(address user1, address user2)	Returns PoC status
burn_poc(uint256 id)	Revokes or expires a connection

Built using Solana’s Anchor framework, optimized for low gas and speed.

🔄 PoC Status States

• 🟢 Active – Confirmed and valid

• ⏳ Pending – Request sent but not yet accepted

• 🔴 Expired – Time-based expiration

• 🚫 Revoked – Manually removed by either party

---

🧪 Trust Multiplier Rules

• +0.5: Connection is over 30 days old

• +1.0: Both parties have over 5 PoCs

• +2.0: PoC confirmed via biometric or external attestation (future)

• -1.0: Flagged by DAO or system for abuse

These rules feed the Trust Score Engine, powering anti-sybil protections.

---

🛡️ Anti-Spam & Abuse Safeguards

• ⚠️ Daily request limits

• 🔎 Rate limiting per wallet (PoC score-based)

• ❌ Auto-block PoC from flagged accounts

• 🧑‍⚖️ DAO moderators can burn or freeze abusive PoCs

🚀 Future Upgrades

• zkPoC: Zero-knowledge version of PoC for anonymous trust

• Temporary PoC: Time-limited relationships (for events, campaigns)

• PoC Badges: Visual connections like “Built Together”, “DAO Founders”, “Trusted Validator”
