Key
Dates

Attestations
are
digital
signatures
on
structured
data
used
to
build
more
trust
on-chain.
The
BNB
Attestation
Service
(BAS)
is
an
infrastructure
built
on
the
BNB
ecosystem
for
generating
attestations
to
verify
information.
BAS
assists
users
in
on-chain
or
off-chain
verification,
allowing
them
to
assert
ownership
of
attestation
by
storing
them
in
Greenfield,
ensuring
data
privacy
and
access
control.

Gaming

BNB
Chain
is
tailoring
its
infrastructure
to
support
the
demands
of
gaming
logic
and
economics,
aiming
to
lead
the
dynamic
sector
of
blockchain
gaming.

Attestation
Ideas

• 
  Proof-of-Personhood:
  Develop
  a
  tool
  that
  allows
  individuals
  to
  make
  cryptographic
  attestations
  proving
  they
  are
  unique
  human
  beings,
  using
  biometric
  information
  while
  ensuring
  their
  privacy.
• 
  Game
  Achievements:
  Verify
  and
  confirm
  new
  in-game
  achievements
  and
  unlocks
  earned
  by
  the
  user.
• 
  In-Game
  Item
  Ownership:
  Ensure
  the
  security
  of
  in-game
  item
  ownership
  by
  verifying
  and
  attesting
  to
  the
  rightful
  owner
  and
  all
  item
  transfers.
• 
  Leaderboard:
  Attest
  to
  various
  achievements
  a
  player
  achieves
  and
  showcase
  them
  in
  a
  leaderboard.

Social

Innovate
on
the
social
network
with
blockchain
technology.
The
decentralized
social
network
should
be
a
crypto-native
platform
that
supports
various
social
features
such
as
social
graph,
messaging,
live
streaming,
and
content
sharing.

Attestation
Ideas

• 
  Social
  Graphs:
  Using
  BAS
  as
  the
  base
  layer
  for
  social
  graphs
  enables
  the
  creation
  of
  truly
  decentralized
  and
  interoperable
  social
  networks.
  Attestations
  provide
  a
  way
  for
  users
  to
  securely
  and
  selectively
  share
  their
  data
  with
  others
  while
  retaining
  control
  over
  their
  personal
  information.
• 
  KYC:
  Build
  a
  base
  layer
  for
  attestations
  that
  would
  allow
  different
  organizations
  and
  services
  to
  provide
  attestations
  about
  different
  aspects
  of
  a
  person’s
  life,
  such
  as
  education,
  work
  history,
  and
  other
  credentials.
• 
  Reputation
  System:
  With
  BAS,
  attestations
  about
  trust
  scores
  and
  relative
  experiences
  can
  be
  recorded
  on
  BNB
  Chain
  or
  off-chain
  in
  Greenfield,
  providing
  a
  secure
  and
  tamper-proof
  record
  of
  reputation.

Payments

Build
a
consumer
payment
experience
with
seamless
and
efficient
payment
options
for
users
and
foster
broader
adoption
and
utility
within
the
ecosystem.
BNB
Chain
also
provides
a
comprehensive
solution
to
build
a
dedicated
payment
Layer
2
(L2),
further
optimizing
user
experiences.
Moreover,
stablecoins
on
BNB
Chain
are
enthusiastic
about
collaborating
closely
with
these
payment
platforms.

Attestation
Ideas

• 
  Transaction
  Receipts:
  Provide
  immutable
  transaction
  receipts
  that
  offer
  additional
  context,
  allowing
  both
  parties
  to
  verify
  them
  independently.
• 
  Verified
  Merchant
  Accreditation:
  Enhance
  buyer
  confidence
  by
  verifying
  a
  merchant’s
  accreditation,
  transaction
  history,
  or
  customer
  satisfaction
  ratings.
• 
  Refund
  &
  Return
  Authenticity:
  Create
  a
  system
  where
  refunds
  and
  returns
  are
  attested,
  ensuring
  all
  parties
  acknowledge
  and
  agree
  on
  the
  order
  status.
• 
  Onchain
  Invoice
  Verification:
  Verify
  an
  invoice
  and
  confirm
  timely
  payments
  to
  establish
  the
  creditworthiness
  of
  specific
  addresses.
