V. CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, our implementation showcases the successful utilization of ZK proofs and ERC-721 NFTs to create a robust and tamper-evident system for result validation and attestation in the context of questionnaire evaluation. By integrating Circom 2’s features for generating Solidity code and integrating it into our NFT, we achieved efficient verification of userprovided answers using ZK proofs, resulting in the minting of a Soulbound NFT that serves as immutable evidence of the test results. This approach holds promise not only for personality tests, as we did here, but also for various applications requiring secure result validation and attestations. Further research can explore scalability, optimization, and potential vulnerabilities, in order to expand the usability of this solution across different Web3 platforms and domains beyond questionnaire evaluation.
