What is D‑Scope?

D‑Scope is a decentralized protocol for conducting anonymous, verifiable research on human behavior, values, and collective decision-making.

It enables users to participate in surveys, polls, and sentiment analysis without revealing personal data — while still allowing results to be verified, aggregated, and used for meaningful insights.

Why it exists - in today’s world, social data is: collected without consent, manipulated for engagement, vulnerable to bias and fraud!

Traditional research methods are expensive, opaque, and often fail to capture real community signals — especially in Web3, where pseudonymity and Sybil resistance are critical.

D‑Scope changes this.


How it works

D‑Scope combines several building blocks:

  • Zero-knowledge proofs — to prove uniqueness or demographics without revealing identity.

  • Reputation logic — to weigh participation based on past behavior and verifiable credentials.

  • Soulbound tokens — to anchor user profiles to non-transferable, tamper-proof onchain data.

  • Decentralized survey flows — where users own their data and choose when/how to contribute.

All this allows trustable, bias-resistant insights to emerge from pseudonymous participants.

A[User joins survey] --> B[Proves uniqueness with ZK]
B --> C[Links to Soulbound Profile]
C --> D[Submits encrypted response]
D --> E[Response is verified onchain]
E --> F[Data aggregated and visualized]

What it enables - social research without surveillance, decision-making without coercion, market feedback without manipulation, civic expression without fear

Whether you're building a DAO, launching a product, or analyzing sentiment in a global event — D‑Scope offers a new infrastructure for understanding what people truly think, feel, and choose.

Who might benefit from D‑Scope

  • Communities & DAOs — to explore members' values and priorities

  • Startups & builders — to validate ideas and gather feedback early

  • Researchers & journalists — to access honest, anonymized social data

  • Protocol teams & grant orgs — to align funding with user intent

  • Civic tech projects — to enable safe, anonymous public participation
