We believe users should be able to control their identity and data across all digital interactions.

OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

We identify as user-control maximalists.

As architects and implementers of emerging global identity standards such as W3C Verifiable Credentials, Sign-In with Ethereum, and more, we recognize the importance of aligning the ecosystem and providing core open-source building blocks to make this all possible. We believe in:

Enabling a world where users control their data across the web.

Giving people security and privacy through private-by-default architectures.

Supporting builders with open-source software for user-controlled interactions.

We're proud to be backed by world-class founders, leaders, and institutions.

Join us to shape the future of digital identity

We're a team of user control maximalists, and while we’re not zealots of any particular technology, we want to ensure that technology is never the limiting factor for a user-controlled future. We believe that the world is evolving toward one based on cryptography, networks, and digital economies that must all put users at the center. Sound interesting?
