Distributed identity replaces centralized identity providers with decentralized networks that use distributed ledger technologies to secure cryptographic identifiers and verifiable credentials, giving individuals greater control over when and how their personal data is shared. Consensus mechanisms such as Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, and Delegated Proof of Stake help maintain the integrity, authenticity, and immutability of identity records, enabling services to verify credentials without relying on intermediaries. Key challenges include the throughput and cost limitations of public ledgers, interoperability among standards and networks, and privacy risks from exposed metadata; proposed approaches include layer-2 systems, sharding, identity-focused ledgers, W3C standards, and zero-knowledge proofs for selective disclosure. Didit presents its identity-verification platform as aligned with these principles, offering biometric verification, liveness detection, AML screening, reusable KYC, and privacy-oriented tools intended to help businesses securely verify users and reduce onboarding friction.
