STinDer: Revolutionizing Online Dating with Blockchain and Fully Homomorphic Encryption
We're thrilled to announce that STinDer has clinched the prestigious first prize in the Fhenix track at EthSeoul 2024!
STinDer addresses critical trust and privacy concerns in online dating by harnessing the power of blockchain and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). Our platform offers transparent yet secure identity verification processes, significantly reducing risks such as identity fraud, exposure to STDs, and encounters with deceitful individuals. By integrating smart contracts and FHE technology, STinDer ensures user data remains encrypted and private, while still enabling accurate matching and verification. This innovative system fosters trust among users and promotes genuine and safe interactions, ushering in a new era of meaningful connections in the digital age.
Despite challenges in integrating FHE within a user-friendly interface and optimizing app performance, STinDer's development team persevered. Crafting smart contracts capable of handling complex verifications without compromising user privacy required meticulous design and testing. Through dedication and innovation, we've overcome these hurdles to create a revolutionary solution for online dating.
