Safe Trade Services addresses a significant problem (P2P transaction fraud) with a logical solution (identity verification via 'handshakes'). However, the project is in the pre-launch phase with no verifiable active users or revenue. While the use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (via the Didit protocol) is technically sound, the innovation lies in the integration rather than proprietary tech. The claim of 'tens of thousands' in reach is unsubstantiated for a pre-launch tool. The score reflects a promising concept at the earliest stage of execution.

Description
Identity Verification for P2P Transactions. Verify once, use everywhere for 6 months.
Audience Reach
My current reach is Tens of thousands. But it has a potential to reach Billions of people in a very short space of time. The service has a free and a paid plan so anyone can use it.
Target Users
Anyone who uses the internet and wants to protect themselves from scammers and fraudsters. Companies that want to verify their users without handling their ID documents. This protocol has the potential to replace Recapcha verification.
Technologies
Other, Springboot and Zero-Knowledge Proof
Traction Evidence
My project is in the Pre-launch phase. I expect the user base to grow exponentially due to the nature of the Project. When one seller gets verified, he'll then require his buyers to get verified, then the buyers will require other sellers to get verified, and so on.
