Be self-sovereign with VerusID.
Take full control of your digital identity, data, and assets with VerusID.
What is VerusID?
VerusID is a self-sovereign identity system built on the Verus Protocol that gives you complete ownership and control over your digital identity, data, and assets.
Unlike traditional identity systems where third parties control your information, VerusID puts you in charge, allowing you to selectively share information while maintaining privacy and security.
Verus Vault feature adds an extra layer of security to VerusID by allowing you to timelock your identity, preventing funds from being spent while still enabling staking and receiving transactions.
Benefits of VerusID
Your data remains with you, not scattered across corporate and centralized databases.
Blockchain-secured identity with consensus-level security and recovery options.
Selective disclosure of information puts you in control of what others can see.
VerusID creation requires a full node wallet like Verus Desktop.
