As AI agents increasingly enter the DeFi sector, Velodrome, the next-generation automated market maker (AMM) designed to serve as the liquidity hub for the Superchain, was exploring the right approach to onchain identity verifications. Enter Self, the privacy-first identity solution leveraging ZK to verify proof of personhood and key characteristics like age and country of residence.
The first step in an ongoing partnership, Velodrome today announced their pilot using VerifiedERC20 with Self to provide boosted rewards to users who verify their humanity via Self Pass. Initially, VerifiedERC20 will be available as a pair for the following Celo native assets from Tether, Mento Labs, Circle, and more:
USDT/WETH
CELO/USDT
USDT/cUSD
CELO/USDC
CELO/VELO
Moving forward, as Velodrome users adopt the Self Pass as their identity standard, VerifiedERC20 will expand to the 10+ OP Superchain ecosystem networks integrated with Velodrome.
