1/ Introducing Verite, an open-source framework for decentralized identity. 🧵👇hubs.li/Q014mQgy0
2/ The Problem

Participating in #DeFi is a challenge for institutions and other entities who need to ensure they’re transacting with counterparties they can trust.
3/ The Solution

Verite is a set of composable identity standards that enables #Web3 developers to create portable, privacy-preserving credentials for KYC, credit scoring, accreditation and more.
4/ How it works

Verite credentials are cryptographic badges that can prove identity claims for users traversing Web3, without exposing personal data. Credentials are stored securely in a #cryptowallet, just like digital assets.
5/ Benefits for the Web3 ecosystem

Web apps, mobile apps and #smartcontracts get the benefit of identity-verified participants from the simple check of a Verite credential. Zero personally identifiable information (PII) is sent or stored on-chain.
6/ Improved capital efficiency

Credit score credentials can enable more precise matching of a borrower's reputation, resulting in lower collateral requirements.
7/ Customizable trading pools

DeFi protocols can provide access to securities trading in permissioned pools based on accredited investor status, or any specified attribute.
8/ Global financial inclusion

Verite credentials empower individuals and entities who lack traditional forms of identification to participate in the #crypto economy in a safe and secure manner.
9/ Verite pairs well with USDC

Verite-enabled DeFi projects can tap into over $52B in USDC liquidity across 8 blockchains. $USDC is a dollar-pegged stablecoin widely used for payments, trading and value-exchange.
10/ Established by industry leaders

Verite was developed by @centre_io consortium in collaboration with Circle and alongside trusted industry leaders like @coinbase and @Blocks. As an open-source framework, anyone is free to build on Verite.
11/ A new era of DeFi

Circle is building on Verite to become an issuer and verifier of #KYC credentials, enabling individuals and institutions to participate in DeFi with counterparties they can trust. A new era of DeFi is fast approaching.
12/ Comprehensive ecosystem support

A wide range of leading blockchain pioneers are embracing Verite, including: @Algorand, @compoundfinance, @ConsenSys, Espresso Systems, @hedera, @Ledger, @MMInstitutional, @Phantom, @Solana, and @SpruceID—with more on the way.
