Decentralized Identity (DID) in Polkadot
What is DID and why is it important?
In a centralized internet, our personal data is stored on third-party servers we don't have full control over it. Decentralized identity (DID) changes this by allowing every Web3 user to have a digital identity that belongs only to them. DID is not only about security, but also about freedom controlling what you show, to whom, and when
How DID is implemented in Polkadot
@Polkadot implements DID through a flexible, modular parachain architecture. One of the flagships of this direction is the KILT Protocol. It allows you to create verifiable accounts where data is stored decentralized, and the user has complete control over who has access to which attributes. Identification occurs through cryptographic signatures, without centralized databases
DID applications: from KYC to Web3 personalization
DID in Polkadot makes it possible to:
- pass KYC without submitting a full set of documents;
- create reputation systems in DAOs;
- verify roles, skills, or certifications in Web3 services;
- integrate identity into metaverses and gamified products
- The key is that all of this works without logins, passwords, or centralized accounts
Conclusion
Decentralized identity in @Polkadot is the foundation for digital sovereignty. Thanks to protocols such as KILT, Web3 users gain control over their data, identity verification, and trust on the network. This is the new standard for security, privacy, and interaction on the internet of the future
