Polygon ID
Self-Sovereign, Decentralized & Private Identity for Web3.
Overview
Polygon ID is a decentralized identity platform that allows users to create a self-sovereign identity and manage verifiable credentials. It is built on the Polygon blockchain and uses zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to ensure privacy. This enables users to prove things about themselves (e.g., 'I am over 18' or 'I have a degree from this university') without revealing the underlying personal data, offering a new level of privacy and control.
✨ Key Features
- Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)
- Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs for privacy
- Built on the Polygon blockchain (low transaction fees)
- Open-source and permissionless
- W3C standards compliant
- Developer SDKs and tools
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Pioneering use of Zero-Knowledge proofs for privacy
- Part of the large and growing Polygon ecosystem
- Designed for both Web2 and Web3 use cases
Unique Value: Delivers a truly private and self-sovereign identity solution by combining blockchain with zero-knowledge proofs, allowing for verification without sacrificing personal data privacy.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Being adopted by various Web3 projects and dApps for private identity and authentication.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations needing a simple, centralized, no-code credentialing SaaS platform.
🏆 Alternatives
Offers significantly stronger privacy guarantees than other public blockchain credentialing systems due to its native integration of zero-knowledge technology. It is more of a foundational protocol than a ready-made application.
