## Description

Taking into account three years of user studies, we created Aura as the evolution of BrightID verification. It uses motivated and equipped sybil hunters to vet each other and guide regular users to become verified. Aura is more decentralized and resilient to fraud than previous BrightID verification methods, while keeping the same high standards of privacy for which BrightID is known.

Let's unlock the power of unique humanity with Aura.
