wot.id is a decentralized identity platform built on the principles of the Web of Trust (WOT) concept in cryptography. We are a team of blockchain enthusiasts and privacy advocates who believe that individuals should have complete control over their digital identities.
Our mission is to create a user-centric identity system where people can manage all aspects of their digital lives in one secure, private, and user-controlled environment. We believe your data belongs to you alone, and should never be collected, stored, or analyzed on centralized servers without your explicit consent.
The Web of Trust (WOT) is a concept that helps establish the authenticity of binding between a public key and its owner. It's a decentralized alternative to the centralized certificate authority model, allowing users to build a network of trust in a decentralized manner.
Our platform leverages a multi-chain architecture that maintains your primary identity on Ethereum L1 while utilizing other networks like Optimism for specific features that benefit from lower costs and faster transactions. This approach gives you the best of both worlds without requiring you to manually switch networks or compromise on security.
