How it works

Three steps. One credential.

Solidus replaces the repeat-KYC cycle with a portable, cryptographically-verified credential you control.

01

Verify with Solidus

Submit your government-issued ID and complete a 5-second liveness check. One-time process. $5.00 for KYC L2. The system never stores your face scan after processing.

~90 seconds to complete
02

Credential issued to wallet

Your identity is cryptographically signed and issued as a W3C Verifiable Credential. It's written to your DID wallet on the Solidus blockchain — permanent, tamper-proof, and yours.

BBS+ signed · on-chain anchor
03

Present instantly, anywhere

When any Solidus-integrated service needs to verify you, you present your credential — no re-upload, no waiting, no new forms. The verifying service pays $0.05. You pay nothing.

1-click re-use · $0.05 per presentation

Under the hood

W3C Verifiable Credentials + BBS+ Signatures

Solidus credentials follow the W3C VC Data Model 2.0. BBS+ signatures enable selective disclosure — users can prove attributes without revealing everything.

W3C VC Data Model 2.0

Credentials follow the open W3C standard — compatible with any conformant verifier worldwide. Not a proprietary format.

Selective Disclosure via BBS+

Using BBS+ signatures, users can prove they are over 18 without revealing date of birth — or prove nationality without sharing address. The credential holder chooses what to share.

On-Chain Anchor

Every credential issuance event is anchored to the Solidus blockchain with a transaction hash. Verifiers can independently confirm issuance without contacting Solidus.

Use Cases

Where portable credentials change everything

DeFi Re-authentication

DEX protocols require MiCA-compliant KYC before swaps above €1,000. With Solidus credentials, users who already verified with any partner service pass instantly — no wallet friction, no new KYC forms.

100ms credential check

Cross-Exchange KYC Sharing

A user verified on Exchange A can onboard to Exchange B with a single credential presentation. Exchange B saves $12–18 per user in KYC costs. Both exchanges share FATF Travel Rule compliance data without sharing PII.

96% cost reduction per shared user

Fintech Account Linking

Open banking and PSD2 account aggregation require identity verification at every new service. Portable Solidus credentials satisfy PSD2 SCA requirements while eliminating per-app re-KYC — users link five accounts, verify once.

2–3 day onboarding → 90 seconds

For Developers

Two lines to request a credential presentation

The Verify SDK handles all credential negotiation, cryptographic verification, and on-chain confirmation. You write the business logic.

verify-credential.js
import { VerifyClient } from '@solidus/verify-sdk';

const client = new VerifyClient({ apiKey: process.env.SOLIDUS_API_KEY });

// Request credential presentation from a DID
const result = await client.credentials.present({
  did: 'did:solidus:testnet:7a3b8c9d2e1f4a6b',
  scope: ['kycLevel', 'nationality', 'ageVerified'],
  minimumLevel: 2
});

if (result.verified) {
  // User is verified — proceed with onboarding
  console.log(`KYC Level: ${result.claims.kycLevel}`);
  console.log(`Cost: ${result.cost}`); // → "$0.05"
}

< 100ms response time

Credential verification resolves in under 100ms — synchronous, in the request lifecycle.

Cryptographic proof, not a database lookup

Every verification call validates the BBS+ signature and on-chain anchor. No central authority required.
