Overview
A verifiable identity is an identity that can be cryptographically verified without central trust. It uses credentials and proofs. It is the basis of decentralized identity.
How It Works
Users hold credentials signed by issuers and present proofs to verifiers. Zero-knowledge proofs can hide details. Identity is portable and self-owned.
Why It Matters
Verifiable identity enables trustless verification for access, credentials, and reputation. It reduces reliance on central platforms. It is central to Web3 identity.
