Soverage Gateway is a privacy-first decentralized identity system that provides proof of unique human identity without storing personal data. Soverage is a personal project exploring decentralized proof of personhood. It is non-commercial, built on open standards, and currently running on testnet. Users verify their identity through the Soverage Gateway, complete multiple attestations, and receive portable credentials. No personal information is retained at any point.Documentation Index

What it does
When a user verifies through Soverage, three credentials are issued:- Decentralized Identifier (DID): a W3C DID anchored on-chain that serves as the foundation for the user’s identity
- Verifiable Credential (VC): a W3C Verifiable Credential cryptographically signed and linked to the user’s DID
- Personhood Token: a non-transferable token proving the user is human
