Connect with Social Verifier

CyberConnect offers an open-source social verifier and a public verified list in an effort to bring a democratic social network.

info

Currently, CyberConnect Social Verifier only supports Twitter and Github account verification. More platforms are in the development backlog.

You can visit Github for codebase use or review, CyberConnect API for Indexer Query or test out the CyberConnect Social Verifier in the sandbox from Verify a Twitter Account section.

Installation​

In order to install the Social Verifier, simply run:

npm install @cyberlab/social-verifier

Use the Verifier​

Twitter Verifier​

Twitter Verifier uses a 3 step process for linking an Ethereum address to a Twitter account:

  1. Users use their Ethereum private key to sign a message with their Twitter handle to get a message which contains the generated signature.
  2. Users post a tweet with this message so others can view.
  3. Users send a verify request to our server with their wallet address. Our server will recover the signer address from the signature found in the tweet and save the verified information if the signer address is the same as the address in the request.

Signing Data​

Using twitterAuthorize to get signature message.

import { twitterAuthorize } from "@cyberlab/social-verifier";

const sig = twitterAuthorize(provider, address, handle);
  • provider - An ETH provider which should implement one of the following methods: send, sendAsync, request.
  • address - The Ethereum address that you want to link with the Twitter account.
  • handle - The handle of your Twitter account.

Posting message​

You can customize your tweet text, but the text should include the signature message from the Signing Data step.

const text = `Verifying my Web3 identity on @cyberconnecthq: %23LetsCyberConnect %0A ${sig}`;

window.open(`https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=${text}`, "_blank");

Verifying​

After posting the tweet, you can call twitterVerify to link your address with your twitter account.

import { twitterVerify } from "@cyberlab/social-verifier";

try {
    await twitterVerify(address, handle);
    console.log("Verify Success!");
} catch (e) {
    console.log("Error: ", e.message);
}
  • address - The Ethereum address that you want to link with your twitter account.
  • handle - The handle of your twitter account.

Github Verifier​

Github Verifier uses a 3 step process for linking an Ethereum address to a Github account.

  1. Users use their Ethereum private key to sign a message with their Github username to get a message which contains the generated signature.
  2. Users create a Github gist with this message.
  3. Users send a verify request to our server with their wallet address and the gist id. Our server will recover the signer address from the signature found in the gist and save the verified information if the signer address is the same as the address in the request.

Signing Data​

Using githubAuthorize to get signature message.

import { githubAuthorize } from "@cyberlab/social-verifier";

const sig = githubAuthorize(provider, address, username);
  • provider - An ETH provider which should implement one of the following methods: send, sendAsync, request.
  • address - The Ethereum address that you want to link with your Github account.
  • username - The username of your Github account.

Posting message​

You need to create a gist in your Github. You can customize your gist text, but the text should include the signature message from the Signing Data step.

Verifying​

After posting the gist, you can call githubVerify to link your address with your Github account.

import { githubVerify } from "@cyberlab/social-verifier";

try {
    await githubVerify(address, gist_id);
    console.log("Verify Success!");
} catch (e) {
    console.log("Error: ", e.message);
}
  • address - The Ethereum address that you want to link with your Github account.
  • gist_id - The id of your Github gist. It's the last part of your gist url.
