Decentralised On-chain Identity on TERNOA blockchain

When discussing identity on a blockchain, we mainly talk about your public wallet address as your footprint. As privacy is essential at Ternoa, creating a wallet address on the Ternoa chain it’s anonymous. When you create a crypto wallet, your real world identity is not linked to it by default. But there are some situations where it would be beneficial for you to do so.

But for some other reason, you may want to create your official public wallet address:

• If you are running a node
• If you are a member of a council
• If you need to prove your public identity
• …

Let me present to you when this can be beneficial for end users and a few examples of how our technology will solve current problems.

Use case 1:

You graduate, and you get a diploma. Instead of a regular graduation certificate, a university will send it to your wallet to prove that you are a graduate. Our service will search for your public verified address before the university transfers the soulbound NFT with your certificate. You are no more copying your diploma for different occasions and no more cheating on resumes or Linkedin.

Use case 2:

Some DApp wants to reward all people who do social action on Twitter. You can directly add your Twitter account on the on-chain identity to get your rewards in your wallet. You can apply this solution to multiple similar rewards systems.

Use case 3:

A WEB3 company wants to send a private newsletter to some NFT owners. Your NFT holders must add their email information directly in a sub wallet where they hold the mentioned NFT.

We already offer this solution on Ternoa, and it’s free, all you have to do is deposit a hundred $CAPS (around 2€ at the time of writing this blog), and it will be refunded when you delete your identity. On Ternoa, we are using the Identity Pallet, so adding your credential is effortless. Once your identification is successfully added to our system, two registrars from Ternoa will manually check your credentials and validate your identity.

Through our derivative path system, there is no limit on creating your addresses (Sub-identity) with the same Mnemonic. In other words, you can create multiple on-chain identities, showing a different level of information, just with one Ternoa’s wallet.

I encourage you to try this feature and create your first decentralised on-chain identity. And if you want to apply this technology to your company, do not hesitate to reach out!
