Y lets you benefit from your digital identity.
Introducing Y App

Blockchain networks are designed to be decentralized and permissionless, allowing anyone to participate in the cyber economy regardless of location or background. Unfortunately, this openness is often exploited.

In the 2020s, airdrops became popular for projects to reward communities, attract attention, and onboard new users into the Web3 world. Sadly, most rewards now go to bots that mimic real people and farm rewards.

During the 2023 Arbitrum airdrop, at least 100,000 bot addresses bypassed security measures, pocketing nearly $200 million in ARB—funds that should have gone to real users.

By 2024, bot activity had peaked. In 54 out of 62 major airdrops, distributing a total of $19 billion, many tokens ended up in wallets with no intention of contributing to the ecosystem—only in cashing out. This harmed projects and their genuine users.

Until now, there has been no reliable way to ensure rewards reach real users. Y is here to change that.

What is Y?

Y is an app that lets you benefit from your digital identity.
By building your digital identity, you increase your Y Score. A higher score unlocks access to exclusive airdrops.

The Y team believes that online behavior can prove humanity as effectively as biometric data—if not better—while preserving privacy.

Users have full control over how much of their digital footprint they reveal, linking their social media to build their aggregated digital identity without exposing any private data. Y ensures privacy-first verification, avoiding invasive methods like eye or palm scans that pose security risks.

For the highest score and best opportunities, Y utilizes Zero-Knowledge Proof-based verification of biometric government-issued IDs via the user’s smartphone. This cryptographic method confirms a user’s uniqueness without revealing or transferring any personal data.

This is how Y aggregates digital identity to filter out bots, ensuring projects connect with real people whose actions and feedback bring real value.

What’s next for Y?

Y aims to become the ultimate gateway to the cyber economy—onboarding users, educating them, and providing access to top opportunities in Web3. The Y Passport is the first step in developing a healthy community of real people, with the long-term goal of evolving into a universal Web3 super app.

With its initial rollout, Y welcomes all users to start building their score and exploring everything inside the app.

The journey to fully utilizing your digital identity begins now—join Y!
