Future Development Plans 📈
We are implementing ZK claim & proof generation w. halo2 (within the enclave), so that we can achieve easier proof aggregation & cheaper on-chain verification.
Stay tuned for the updates! 🤓
Technical Details for Enclave-based Computations 🤔
We generate the ZK claims & their signatures with circomlibjs directly in the enclave. Circomlibjs is ported to QuickJS (an embeddable Javascript engine), with the entire claim generation process run in SGX LibOS.

Please note that we are launching a zk-attestor for the same set of GitHub attestations next week powered by zero-knowledge range proofs so that the exact metrics are desensitized 🤧 (e.g. instead of 72 stars, we prove a range b/w 50-100 stars).
Instructions 🗒️
1. Claim your SBT (if you haven’t already)
2. Create an Account on Tally’s website
3. Click verify on Clique’s OP Army Week 4
4. Submit
5. Update SBT to upgrade it with your newly acquired XP
Alpha Below: 👇
The trade-off here to protect privacy comes with a loss of precision. Protocols may value these metrics & the corresponding degrees of precision differently, so make sure you choose carefully. 😈

We are also aware that many users are facing an issue with "Gas exceeds allowance". This is to prevent users from spending exorbitant amounts of gas during times of network congestion.
If you encounter this error, do check back after sometime and the problem should be resolved.
Additionally, we are aware that some users are facing an issue with reduced EXP points from previous weeks.
We are looking into the issue and will restore everyone's EXP points to the correct levels. 🫡🐬
Another composable cryptographic build block we will launch on

So far, Clique has built a matrix of products 🔲:
- Attestor: identity data provision endpoint for L1/L2/DIDs
- Provenance: high-quality user profiling tool
- SDK: granular user data management on your native website
DM 📩 us if you are interested to try any of them out!
As a solution, Clique builds a TEE-based proof generation module that can be quickly composed with high-level libraries like Semaphore/SnarkJS and lower-level zk circuits.
This guarantees both privacy and integrity while minimizing trust for potential decentralization.
Excited to be a part of

Clique proposes a modular privacy layer 🏗 that leverages:
- zk-membership proofs for anonymity
- zk-query proofs for confidentiality
- TEE & MPC for provenance, integrity & end-to-end privacy
Read the Substack post for more technical details!
The design space for identity oracles is tricky, as several tradeoffs ↔️ need to be managed:
- user anonymity v.s. identity authentication
- data confidentiality v.s. data provenance/integrity
- decentralization v.s. privacy
How do we solve this?
Some additional details:
- The number of impressions generated by the memes made in the Quote Tweet will be pushed on-chain as attestations. 🙌
- Get as many non-Sybil likes and RTs as possible to increase your chances of winning. 👍
All the best! 💯
❗❗DO NOTE: The attestor will run for 2 weeks before taking a screenshot of all the submitted identity commitments and aggregating them into the final Merkle Root used to generate a universally verifiable zero-knowledge proof.
Don't miss this deadline 😈
Clique builds🔮identity oracles🔮to provide a more robust set of user data for dApp builders by pulling off-chain user behavior and identity data on-chain.
This enables protocols to increase Sybil resistance, better identify user profiles, and give out directional incentives.
The lack of identity and reputation data available on-chain has severely limited the current design space for dApps. 😢
The vast majority of user behaviors still happen in web2 -- and that's where Clique🐬 comes in!
In the meantime, we will no longer be awarding EXP for comments made during the current OP Army program.
We appreciate everyone’s enthusiastic support and currently issued EXP will not be revoked.
It's just been 5 days since we launched with
@optimismFND
's AttestationStation, and we already have 5k+ on-chain attestations issued! 🔥
Check all the transactions here:
Finally, we will release a piece next week detailing some of our thoughts on zk set-membership proofs (inclusion proofs).
Although being one of the simplest zkp use cases, design problems like cloning-resistance/de-duplication and identity linkage are still exciting to explore.
🔴 x 🐬 OP AttestationStation Update:
Over the last 3 weeks, ~35,000 unique attestations have been issued through the Clique Attestor on

Finally, to answer a commonly-raised question: some have been querying about depreciating metrics -- note that Twitter impressions only last for 30 days! So if you choose to update your attestation and haven't been active enough recently, you might witness a decreasing number!
In the coming weeks, we plan to also launch several more features and partnerships, including:
-A collab with [REDACTED], that will include additional Twitter attestations and an exciting prize pool😉
-ZK set-membership-proof-based Discord attestations to protect user anonymity🤫
This introduces an interesting incentive design problem for identity oracles -- how to deal with negative user reputation?
@kvny2046
is writing a piece on relevant topics, and we welcome ideas from everyone!
We are also looking for more OP-native projects to use the attestations we create for usecases like Sybil Resistance, reputation systems, and directional incentive distribution.
DM us if you are interested! 📩
We are developing privacy-preserving pipelines with MPC, TEE & ZKP to enhance confidentiality and ensure the provenance of data. We are also designing threshold encryption schemes to decentralize computation.
More info will be released gradually. 💯

🤝 We are actively seeking partnerships for these pipelines.
5/
Why enlist? 🤔
As mentioned previously, Clique has received multiple grants from
@OptimismGrants

We plan to support more robust attestation methods in the future, including zk-SBT contracts that allow users to create attestations about private data in zero-knowledge range proofs. We support various data pipelines from social, gaming, content, KYC, and financial sources.
5/
Users will be assessed based on their contributions to the army so far, based on leaderboard rankings 🎖️
You can check your leaderboard rankings on any OP Army campaign page, on our site.
6/
The initial Clique integration with OP Attestation Station mainly involves our social oracles, which check the user's social influence on Twitter, as well as its contributions and loyalty to the OP community.
4/
Our first product is a social oracle that provides deep analytics of off-chain user influence, loyalty, and contributions across various social media platforms.
The data can be consumed by projects for airdrop and whitelisting, SBT/VC issuance, smart contract actions, etc.
4/
Even among the most native web3 users, the vast majority of their behaviors still exist in web2.
Clique drastically increases the robustness of data available to protocols by aggregating a wealth of off-chain user behaviors.
