Verite - Building open source identity protocols

David Puth is CEO, and Kim Hamilton Duffy is Director of Identity and Standards at Centre, an open-source technology project launched by founding members Circle and Coinbase. Centre has launched a set of decentralized identity protocols designed to give users direct control over how, when, and where their personal information is shared when doing business in the crypto economy.

Why you should listen:

Verite is a set of open-source identity protocols, built to enable trust, transparency and interoperability within the crypto ecosystem. 

Verite's flexible architecture interacts with the increasingly open and interoperable world in which we live. Users will be able to custody their own credentials and maintain their privacy by sharing only the information necessary to verify a particular claim.

Verite will enable the privacy-preserving issuance and validation of Know Your Customer (KYC) credentials, allowing users and organizations to validate their identity across the crypto ecosystem. Centre Consortium founding member Circle and launch partner Block, and a number of other leading crypto-focused companies have already announced their intention to develop products using Verite standard credentials.
