Overview
A digital identity wallet stores identity credentials and proofs in addition to keys. It lets users manage and share verified attributes. It is a component of self-sovereign identity.
How It Works
The wallet holds verifiable credentials and can generate proofs of attributes, such as age or membership, using zero-knowledge techniques. Users control what to share. Verifiers check proofs without the issuer.
Why It Matters
Identity wallets give users portable, private identity. They reduce reliance on central platforms. They are key to Web3 identity and access.
