Enhanced Management of GoodDollar Stamp in Gitcoin Passport

[erichfi]

User Story:

As a Gitcoin Passport holder, I need a streamlined process to claim and verify the GoodDollar stamp, ensuring its validity reflects my active GoodDollar account status. This integration is crucial in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of our scoring system.

Acceptance Criteria

Claiming Process: GIVEN I am a holder of a Gitcoin Passport, WHEN I claim a GoodDollar stamp, THEN I should be allocated scoring points for the stamp.

Verification and Revocation Process: GIVEN a GoodDollar stamp exists in my Gitcoin Passport, WHEN the stamp is assessed during a periodic verification process, THEN the system checks if my GoodDollar account is active. If isVerified returns false, indicating an inactive account, the stamp should be marked as duplicate, points removed, and rescoring conducted.

Detailed Implementation Strategy

• Database Management: Automate the process to mark a stamp as duplicate and adjust scoring in the Gitcoin Passport database upon detecting a deactivated GoodDollar account. This ensures the integrity of the scoring system with minimal user intervention.
• Ceramic Network Interaction: Develop a user-triggered action within the Ceramic network. This action would be initiated when the user accesses their passport application, ensuring compliance with ownership rules on the Ceramic network.
• EAS attestations won't be revoked for now.

Tech Details:

• GoodDollar Stamp-Specific Verification and Revocation Implementation:
  • Implement the system for verifying active GoodDollar accounts and handling revocations of stamps when accounts become inactive, as part of the Gitcoin Passport framework.
• Database Management and Revocation List for GoodDollar:
  • Develop a database mechanism specifically for tracking GoodDollar stamp revocations.
  • Create revocation entries in the database when a GoodDollar stamp is identified for revocation, which will inform rescoring and other necessary adjustments.
• Scheduled Verification Process for GoodDollar Accounts:
  • Establish an automated process to periodically check the status of GoodDollar accounts linked to stamps, ensuring timely updates through regular scheduling (e.g., daily).
• Syncing Revocation Status with GoodDollar and Other Providers:
  • Develop a functionality for syncing the revocation status with GoodDollar, and potentially other providers in the future.
  • This functionality will be specific to each provider, acknowledging that some might require this feature while others might not.
  • Implement a system, such as a function executed by a daily cron job, that updates the revocation list for each provider, starting with GoodDollar.
• Scalable and Generic Solution Architecture:
  • Design the revocation system with a generic and scalable architecture to accommodate future expansion to other providers' stamps.
• Provider-Specific Revocation Synchronization Functionality:
  • Initially focus on implementing the revocation synchronization feature for GoodDollar, ensuring it is adaptable for eventual extension to other providers.

Open Questions:

• How will users be informed about the status of their GoodDollar stamp, especially in cases of revocation?
• What are the contingency plans for handling exceptions or anomalies during the verification and revocation processes?

Notes/Assumptions:

• The feature is designed with a focus on user privacy and data security, ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
• The process should be streamlined and user-friendly, minimizing any potential disruption to the user experience.
• Resources for development, testing, and implementation are adequately planned and allocated.

We should probably split this in 2:

1. implementation of the Stamp (provider)
2. figure out revocations: this probably means we need to index revocation events, @digitalmnt is looking into this

[nutrina]

@erichfi can you please connect @digitalmnt to gooddollar and clarify open questions

[erichfi]

Oh sorry, @nutrina -- we deprioritized this issue for the time being as we're working out some bigger strategy questions
