Bitcoin revolutionized money, and Ethereum transformed how we create and execute smart contracts. Now, Galactica is leading the integration of identity and Reputation on-chain, injecting the social dimension into crypto and paving the way for blockchain communities to evolve into a global Cypher State.
In traditional systems, citizenship comes with a promise of social and financial rights, largely dictated by the country of birth and the political alliances it maintains. However, your identity and reputation on-chain are different on Galactica; you don't get promises - you get an immutable and censor-resistant sovereign identity.
The more actively you engage and the more data points you contribute to your digital identity, the greater your access to social and financial services in this evolving digital frontier.
The Galactica Citizenship - Available for All
We are on a transformative mission: empowering every individual on Earth with their own digital sovereign identity. Our ambition is grand, and it begins with simplifying access to Citizenship. With just an internet connection and a crypto wallet, anyone can create their CypherBook. We are dedicated to providing universal access. Currently, the CypherBook is available as a desktop dAPP. To increase its potential reach and make it even more accessible, Galactica is considering ways to make it available on mobile, for instance via a Telegram Mini-App.
Creating your CypherBook is free during the testnet phase.
Create your Galactica Citizenship now
Obtaining Galactica Citizenship is just the first step. To fully leverage the benefits of our ecosystem, you can enhance your utilities and unlock new opportunities by improving your reputation, also known as your Soul Score.
There are several ways to increase your Soul Score within the Galactica and external ecosystems. From within, Soul Scores can be increased by means of including but not limited to:
Complete quests within CypherBook
Engage in community activations
Advance through the ranks at Cypher University
Connect your data from other ecosystems to your Galactica CypherBook
A pivotal feature of the CypherBook, is the ability to import your existing activity and reputation from other contexts, making it valuable within our ecosystem. This integration, which we refer to as 'bringing your social capital on-chain,' maximizes the impact of your contributions and elevates your digital identity.
Bringing Social Capital On-chain
A core principle of the Web3 ethos is privacy and pseudonymity - though not complete anonymity, as interactions are tied to wallet addresses and are publicly visible on the blockchain. This approach to identity management presents several challenges:
Proof of Humanity: how can you verify that a digital identity corresponds to a real person?
Sybil Resistance: how can you prevent an individual from creating multiple fraudulent accounts?
Reputation Linkage: how can you connect achievements from the Web2 world to a Web3 identity?
Data Privacy: how can you keep personal data both private and useful in a blockchain environment where information is publicly accessible?
The solution to many of these challenges is to bring your social capital to the blockchain. This involves linking your identity and past actions to your wallet to preserve privacy. While it's not the scope of this article, you can learn more about how Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) allow you to preserve your identity while making your data usable here).
Social capital is inherently difficult to fabricate - it would require significant effort, such as breaching secure servers and altering data. Therefore, it serves as a reliable basis for verifying one's humanity and establishing a reputation.
Platforms like Galactica's CypherBook facilitate this integration of social capital, enhancing the functionality and trustworthiness of Web3 identities.
Galactica Passport, Reputation & Steady Income
Creating your Galactica CypherBook and Securing your citizenship is straightforward and immediately rewarding. Upon registration, you'll receive initial Reputation Points, contributing to your overall Soul Score. This score determines your rank among all citizens, influencing your access to Steady Income Pools.
Steady Income Pools (SIPs) consist of reserves of GNET tokens distributed among members of each pool. The higher your pool's tier, the greater the GNET you can claim. GNET will be available for claiming at the end of each SIP quarter. The specifics regarding the frequency and duration of each quarter and the SIP allocation will be established in due course.
Exploring Your CypherBook in Detail
The CypherBook is a dynamic product, with new content and features regularly added. Some features may also be updated or removed as we refine the platform.
We are opting for a gradual roll-out of features. At the date of this article, the CypherBook is currently in alpha version, and will be updated regularly.
Key Components of the CypherBook:
Passport Page: Your central dashboard displays your Soul Score, the zkCert you've generated, your UBI Ranking, and more. This page serves as the hub for monitoring your digital identity.
SoulMatrix: This is the heart of your CypherBook. Here, you can engage in quests to earn additional Reputation Points, try out new products, and explore emerging Galactica dApps.
SBT Page: View and manage your collection of Soulbound Tokens (SBTs). These tokens represent your participation in community events, rewards from quests, or those generated from zkProofs.
Data Guardian Page: Use this page to create zkCerts from your data sources. Store these certificates securely on your local device and generate zkProofs to verify that your data meets specific criteria, enabling you to publish a SBT on the Galactica Network.
Note: all these pages may not be live when the CypherBook releases, and will be added with regular updates.

The SoulMatrix is divided into several sectors, each presenting unique quests and opportunities. As soon as you receive your passport, certain citizenship utilities become available, while others may require linking specific data to your CypherBook, such as zkKYC or social data.
