🐦Why Twitter authentification?

At CML platform, we take fairness and security - Seriously!

Our primary goal is to create a transparent, honest, and engaging environment for our users.

To achieve this, we have chosen to implement Twitter authentication as our primary method of user authentication

Here are the key reasons why we believe Twitter authentication helps us maintain a fair and secure platform:

Reducing Multiple Accounts and Vote Manipulation

Twitter authentication makes it more difficult for users to create multiple accounts to cast multiple votes for the same projects in a single day.

By limiting this potential abuse, we can maintain a more reliable platform for our community.

Fact: Twitter authentication requires more effort to manage multiple accounts compared to email, which discourages users from creating multiple profiles.

πŸ“£ Our Commitment: Upholding fairness within our platform is our top priority. Twitter authentication allows us to foster a trustworthy and authentic community for all users.

Enhanced Security and Privacy

We value user privacy, and that's why we use the lowest possible read-only settings allowed by Twitter.

This ensures that our platform has minimal access to your data while still providing a secure authentication method.

How it works?

OAuth, an open standard for authorization. OAuth allows third-party applications (like websites and mobile apps) to access your Twitter account without needing to know your password.

Instead, you authorize the application to access your account by granting it a unique access token.

This token allows the app to perform login to CoinMarketLeague. This has several advantages:

  1. Improved security: There's less risk of your account being compromised due to a security breach.

  2. OAuth allows you to grant specific permissions to apps, so you can control what actions they can perform on your behalf.

  3. If you no longer want an app to access your account, you can simply revoke its access token, without needing to change your password.

In summary, Twitter authentication using OAuth is a more secure and flexible way to allow third-party applications to interact with your Twitter account, compared to logging in with a password.

πŸ”’ Privacy Matters: By using read-only settings, we respect our users' privacy and minimize our access to their Twitter data.

By choosing Twitter authentication over email, we aim to create a more secure, user-friendly, and engaging platform for our users while maintaining high standards for security, industry best practices, and most importantly, fairness.
