The Polygon ID team is excited to announce 4 tools have been released in the #PolygonID Identity Infrastructure to build a more equitable internet that places identity at the center of it.

The future is self-sovereign⛓🪪

In 1993, the New Yorker cartoon "On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog" highlighted a major issue with online identity.

Today, Polygon ID is one step closer to helping devs solve this problem with a self-sovereign, decentralized, and private identity infrastructure stack 👏🏽

Polygon ID leverages the Iden3 protocol and Circom ZK toolkit.

This Identity Infrastructure allows anyone to become an issuer, verifier, or holder of a Web3 identity. Off-chain data can now be used for trustless, on-chain verifications in a Verified Credential format.

Businesses can say goodbye to user data management headaches, and individuals can have discretion in using their personal data when builders build with Polygon ID.

👀 Polygon ID is already being used by many builders who are launching live applications.

Polygon ID unlocks a host of use cases, like:
→Issuance of elaborate proofs
→Real-world credentials meeting Web3
→Enabling passwordless login
→Enabling users to have a composable reputation
→Aids in compliance to help verify user identity without sacrificing user privacy

The public release of Polygon ID adds 4 new tools to the SSI infrastructure (Verifier SDK, Issuer Node, Wallet SDK & Wallet App) which helps devs integrate decentralized identity into their applications, & unlocks new pathways to meet compliance requirements in a Web3-native way.

Polygon ID can be used in a range of use cases, including usage in KYC programs, e-commerce onboarding, passwordless login, used by banks as a tool to issue undercollateralized loans, and DAOs.

Today, collaborators are building using Polygon ID’s Identity Infrastructure, all of whom are pushing the boundaries of digital identity in Web3 by providing users security without compromising their privacy.
