Verite KYB

Decentralized identity for crypto finance

 

Circle has created the first Verite KYB (‘Know Your Business’) credentials that are easily secured in a MetaMask Institutional wallet, just like digital assets. Eligible businesses can gain direct control over how, when and where their identity attributes are shared – and no personally identifiable data is sent or stored on-chain. To qualify for a KYB credential, a business must have a Circle Account and a MetaMask Institutional wallet.* Join our waitlist today for early access.

No, Verite credentials are akin to “cryptographic badges”, which cannot be traded or exchanged on a secondary market. Verite credentials are only stored locally on a user’s wallet and they cannot be transferred to another wallet.

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are one of the standards for decentralized identity incorporated in Verite’s protocols. Verite also incorporates standards such as the verifiable credentials data model, presentation exchange, and credential manifest.
