Thequired

Thequired is a decentralized, open-source platform designed to facilitate secure and transparent digital identity verification and credential management. Built on blockchain technology, it aims to address privacy concerns and reduce reliance on centralized authorities by allowing users to maintain control over their personal data. The platform enables individuals, organizations, and institutions to issue, verify, and store credentials in a tamper-proof, immutable ledger.

The system operates using a combination of cryptographic techniques and smart contracts to ensure authenticity and prevent fraud. Users can generate verifiable credentials (VCs) that can be shared selectively with third parties without exposing sensitive information. These credentials are stored in a digital wallet, accessible only through the user’s private keys, enhancing security and user autonomy.

Thequired emphasizes interoperability, allowing credentials issued on its network to be recognized and trusted across various applications and services. This is achieved through standardized formats and protocols, ensuring compatibility with other identity solutions. The platform also supports selective disclosure, enabling users to share only the necessary attributes of their credentials while keeping the rest confidential.

Developed with a focus on scalability and usability, Thequired targets industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and government, where secure identity verification is critical. By reducing identity-related friction and enhancing trust, it seeks to streamline processes while prioritizing user privacy and data sovereignty. The project is community-driven, with ongoing development and collaboration to refine its functionality and adoption.
