What is BrightID?

BrightID is a public good that exists for the benefit of humanity. It is a nonintrusive, decentralized, and open-source technology seeking to reform identity verification--and thus lay the groundwork for a free and democratic society.

As a privacy-first social identity network it allows you to prove to applications that you are accessing them fairly with only one account. It tries to solve the unique identity problem through the creation and analysis of a social graph that does not record any personally identifying information.

BrightID recognizes the strength of your close relationships in creating your digital identity and in securing it with social recovery. With it you hold the ultimate sovereignty over your online authenticity as a unique individual, and as a fair participant in web3.

How we see the future

BrightID enables new experimental currencies, voting systems, benefit programs, and all sorts of projects that don’t exist yet with the condition:
Everyone can receive verifications of uniqueness based on the strength of their close relationships and gain the ability to have baseline rights of access to goods and services online. No one gets to have unfair access using multiple accounts.
