Self-custody and privacy are the foundation of truly permissionless experiences. A rising identity protocol is transforming how users navigate Web3 onboarding—verify your identity once, then seamlessly reuse it across multiple applications and blockchains. The approach eliminates redundant KYC processes while keeping your data fully under your control, not held by intermediaries. Data stored locally on user-controlled infrastructure ensures your information stays private and verifiable. This kind of architecture makes identity feel less like friction and more like utility, especially for users tired of repeating verification workflows. It's the kind of infrastructure that actually supports Web3's promise of user sovereignty.
