Summary

Decentralized Science (DeSci) uses Web3 technologies such as blockchains, DAOs, and NFTs to improve research transparency, funding access, collaboration, and data sharing, but its pseudonymous nature creates risks of fraud, misconduct, plagiarism, Sybil attacks, and regulatory noncompliance. Reliable identity verification is presented as essential for confirming researchers’ real-world identities and credentials while preserving privacy and self-sovereignty through selectively verifiable attributes, potentially including zero-knowledge proofs. The proposed verification framework combines government ID validation, passive or active liveness detection, facial matching and duplicate detection, AML screening, proof of address, and phone or email checks. Didit positions its AI-native, modular platform as a solution for DeSci organizations, offering customizable KYC and AML workflows, global document support, developer APIs, no-code tools, and a free core verification tier intended to help projects build accountable and privacy-conscious scientific communities.
