Solana launches a new on-chain identification verification protocol

The Solana ecosystem has recently launched an innovative on-chain identification verification protocol aimed at achieving secure and verifiable credentials while protecting user privacy. This protocol allows trusted third parties to create identity or qualification certificates for users and store them in the users' wallets without exposing sensitive personal data.

This new type of verification can be used in various scenarios, including KYC verification, regional qualification certification, accredited investor identification, age verification, and more. The verification itself does not disclose sensitive information but instead uses cryptographic proof to indicate that the relevant statements have been verified by a trusted party. This system achieves seamless and secure access to various services while protecting privacy.

The protocol is jointly developed by the Solana Foundation and several ecosystem partners, including Civic, Solana.ID, Trusta Labs, and Solid. These organizations are committed to building a standardized and composable identification layer for Solana.

The protocol operates through a three-party model: the issuer (, such as a KYC provider ), creates the verification, a specialized on-chain program is responsible for managing the verification, and the user ( holds the verification stored in their wallet. Verifiers ), such as DApp (, can request verification of certain attributes but cannot see the underlying data.

The key features of the system include: portable credentials, default privacy protection, composability, instant verifiability, and open infrastructure. Developers can combine verifications like building blocks, without having to design a verification system from scratch.

Multiple leading projects have announced support for this protocol, including Civic, Solana.ID, Solid, Trusta Labs, and others. This adoption will drive the application of the protocol in areas such as DeFi, gaming, and payments.

Compared to other identification solutions, this protocol focuses on regulatory compliance and privacy protection, and can be used without special hardware. It provides a native, privacy-protecting, and composable identity layer for the Solana ecosystem.

With the growing demand for identity-aware applications, this protocol is expected to become a key component in building a more secure and intelligent Web3 infrastructure. It provides users with more control, offers developers speed and trust, and enables regulatory agencies to achieve compliance.

The launch of this protocol marks an important step for Solana in the on-chain identification field, and the future is promising.
