Notebook Labs

Notebook Labs is a Web3 identity platform that leverages zero-knowledge cryptography to provide decentralized, anonymous, and accountable identity solutions. Founded in 2022 by Stanford University undergraduates, the company aims to address the Web3 identity problem by enabling protocols to trust users without compromising their anonymity. Notebook Labs' technology allows users to prove their humanity and aggregate credentials across wallets without revealing personal information, enhancing the safety of DeFi, governance, and airdrops. In October 2022, the company raised $3.3 million in a seed funding round led by Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from Y Combinator and other investors. Additionally, Notebook Labs partnered with NEAR Protocol to drive on-chain accountability while preserving user privacy, allowing NEAR projects to integrate zero-knowledge privacy into their authentication flows.
