Anima use case
Anima offers a decentralized identity and reputation system using Proof of Personhood (PoP). It allows users to mint Reputation NFTs, signaling their uniqueness on-chain, and participate in bot-free communities. Users can level up their NFTs by completing regular PoP challenges, earning rewards and exclusive access to airdrops. The platform is built around anti-bot protection, actively verifying real users and preventing sybil attacks in online ecosystems.
A Soulbound Token (SBT) is a non-transferable NFT that represents a person’s identity, reputation, or achievements on the blockchain. Unlike regular NFTs, which can be bought, sold, or transferred, SBTs are permanently bound to a specific wallet, making them ideal for credentials, memberships, or proof of reputation.
Proof of Personhood (PoP) is a privacy-preserving identity verification system that ensures blockchain users are unique individuals while protecting their anonymity. Anima’s PoP uses encrypted facial scans to create a non-reconstructable "Face Graph", preventing bots and multi-account abuse in airdrops and governance. Unlike traditional KYC, PoP does not expose personal data but enables fair reward distribution and sybil resistance. Integrated with Anima’s Reputation NFT, it ensures that only genuine users receive benefits, fostering a more secure and equitable Web3 ecosystem.

Implement Confidential Virtual Machines today and lead the way in privacy-first computing.
Anima uses Aleph Cloud as the central infrastructure for managing the metadata of their SBTs. This solution allows them to upload all token metadata to Aleph Cloud decentralized network while leveraging the aggregation system for dynamic updates.
When a user progresses in their reputation level, Anima can simply update the corresponding metadata on Aleph Cloud without modifying the links in smart contracts, resulting in significant savings on transaction costs. Currently, the system manages over 15,000 JSON files on our infrastructure, with more than 100,000 updates performed. The simplicity and speed of Aleph Cloud make it a particularly well-suited tool for Anima use cases, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for the scalable management of their reputation system.
