Digital Identity Infrastructure
Self-sovereign identity that travels with the individual, not the institution. A portable, privacy-preserving identity layer that enables access to finance, governance, and services without relying on centralized providers.
The Three Pillars
Access
Refugees, migrants, and the undocumented can establish verifiable identity. A face scan, a mobile number, and a few attestations create a portable credential. No birth certificate required. Identity becomes a right, not a privilege.
Agency
Users control what attributes they share. Prove you are over 18 without revealing your birthdate. Prove you graduated without revealing your grades. Selective disclosure puts users in control of their digital selves.
Accountability
Every identity claim is backed by cryptographic proof. Issuers (universities, employers, governments) sign attestations. Verifiers can check validity without phoning the issuer. Fraud is mathematically impossible, not just legally discouraged.
The Technology Stack
Artificial Intelligence
Biometric AI generates unique identifiers from face geometry and voice patterns. No two humans share the same vector. Liveness detection prevents spoofing. The AI sees the face but stores only the hash—privacy by design.
Automation
Credential issuance and verification happen in seconds. A job application triggers an automated check against educational credentials. Approved instantly. No more waiting weeks for background checks.
Blockchain
Credentials are stored as W3C Verifiable Credentials anchored on-chain. DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) ensure portability. If one platform shuts down, your identity lives on. Interoperability is the default.
