This time, we have good news regarding some matching rounds and the progress of Aura, the innovative verification method for BrightID.

BrightID project participated in Gitcoin’s most recent round and raised almost $9000 ($8837) from nearly 6000 donors. Thanks to your help, the project will be able to secure a significant matching contribution.

This time, we have a bimonthly update on BrightID, featuring some matching rounds, an AMA on Praise, new instructional videos, additional networks on Unitap, and an informative article on funding the Commons.

We're excited to announce that BrightID is taking part in the new Gitcoin beta round! We also have a new schedule for our AMAs. Here's what you need to know:

BrightID members attended ETHDenver and ETHDubai. Unitap keeps adding networks to the Gas tap, and ChatGPT considers BrightID one of the top 10 DAO tools.

BrightID's founder, Adam Stallard, will be speaking at ETHDenver about Aura, the new verification method for BrightID. We had an interesting Ask Me Anything (AMA) session about the BrightID Discord bot. Speaking of Discord, we also introduced "Praise" on our BrightID Discord channel this month.

The new year started with a splash. The Unitap VIP pass for early adopters has been launched, and BrightID is participating in the Gitcoin Alpha round for open-source software.

Traditionally, the holiday season is a time for giving. That's why this month we're focusing on the "Future of Giving". Check out the BrightID project page on Giveth and boost our project with your GIVpower.

It has been a busy month for the devs. They have been hard at work on the Unitap app and the Aura game. It is still in the works so no details in this update yet. But stay tuned for December and January. It’s worth the wait. Other than that the CLR.fund round for Latin America has successfully used BrightID with Blind Signatures. And many CLR contributors have used the Unitap Gas faucet to get their first Arbitrum Eth to pay for gas costs.
