What if your code could revolutionize people’s lives? Or at least the way they verify themselves online, saving time on ID verification and registration while protecting their sensitive data. This future is in developers’ hands. Are you ready to take the challenge?
Right now, identity verification (IDV) is slow, inefficient and fraud-prone. Governments worldwide are rolling out eIDs (electronic IDs) to create a more secure digital identity network. Yet businesses still lack a simple way to integrate them.
That’s where YOU come in.
We’re excited to introduce Hopae’s Bounty Challenge, a global bounty challenge designed to advance digital identity verification and eID integration. As part of this web3 bounty, developers will have the chance to push the boundaries of ID Tech. The challenge is clear - help us integrate eIDs worldwide to create a more connected and secure digital identity ecosystem.
Are you ready to take on the challenge? Sign up here!
hConnect: The solution to a broken identity verification system
The current identity verification (IDV) system is fundamentally flawed. Despite rapid digital transformation, the world still relies on paper-based verification processes. These processes are inefficient, time-consuming and highly vulnerable to fraud due to the oversharing of personal information. At the same time, businesses and governments face rising cyber threats, identity theft, deepfakes and data breaches - making secure and scalable verification more urgent than ever. Then without a standardized, decentralized identity system (DCI), companies risk falling behind as frameworks like eIDAS 2.0 become the norm.
Traditional IDV method vs. Hopae's next-gen IDV method
hConnect: One single API for secure, instant and seamless customer verification
At the core of this digital transformation and the identity verification (IDV) ecosystem lies the concept of digital identity. Digital identity allows individuals to prove their credentials in an online environment, reducing reliance on outdated paper-based systems and minimizing fraud risks. Leading this shift is Hopae’s hConnect. hConnect serves as a blockchain-based Identity Verification API that allows verification of digital identities in a secure and efficient way.
So what does hConnect exactly do?
hConnect: Hopae’s identity verification API
hConnect is designed to help businesses adapt to the evolving digital identity landscape. It does this by delivering a single API that connects eIDs worldwide into one unified verification network. In other words, hConnect allows businesses to let users verify their identity with just one click. Making the verification process faster, simpler and more user-friendly.
But for this to work on a global scale, as many eIDs as possible must be integrated into hConnect.
This is precisely why we are launching the Bounty Challenge for developers!

Bounty Challenge Specs
No matter the changes ahead, digital identity is here to stay. Businesses will be required to adopt new identity verification systems (IDV) to operate within compliance, and developers will play a critical role in making this transition seamless.
By participating in this bounty challenge, developers around the world will not only get hands-on experience integrating eIDs into hConnect but they’ll also contribute to an open, scalable and global digital identity verification network.
So why join this developers bounty challenge?
This Web3 bounty challenge is not just another coding challenge - it’s an opportunity to work on something that truly matters. Here’s why developers should get involved:
Being a pioneer: Help building a global identity verification network that will define the future of digital identity.
Shaping the future of decentralized identity: Contribute to the enhancement of Web3 identity solutions.
Gaining recognition: Showcase skills in a high-profile coding competition that pushes the limits of ID tech.
Joining the Hopae team: Top developers will get the chance to meet our team and potentially join us.
