Decentralized Identity

Decentralized Identifiers are a W3C standard and core to user identities using the Verida Network. The Verida network enables user’s to maintain private keys/seed phrases to control their identity.

Each decentralized identity is an account on the Verida Network.

Users control the private keys to their accounts, enabling them to:

• Encrypt, authenticate and authorize access to their private data

• Control where their data is stored

• Sign their data and messages to third parties

• Send and receive encrypted messages with other identities

• Sign into decentralized applications

Verida has implemented a fast, low cost implemention of the DID Core standard that forms the basis of accounts on the Verida Network. Learn more.

You can create a decentralized identity for free with the Verida Wallet.
