Prove Your Identity & Protect Your Data With Social KYC
summary
A decentralized replacement for “login with” buttons that issues verifiable credentials via a browser wallet: a Sporran browser extension generates a local DID, runs challenges (email/Discord/etc.), writes a credential hash anchored on KILT blockchain, and deposits the signed credential into the user’s local wallet. The service claims no data retention — Social KYC forgets the user after issuance — and the workflow already signs up newsletters and games. Version plan: v1 coins pre-mainnet, v2 credentials 2–3 months after mainnet, broader networks by year end.
