Inform us about your NFT Identification Verification resolution and the way that works? How does KYC match into this?

So relating to NFTs, platforms like marketplaces manually assess NFT initiatives on a case-by-case foundation for verification, which isn’t solely time-consuming but additionally not scalable, as cross-platform verification has not been possible for a lot of as a result of it calls for an excessive amount of work. This requires NFT undertaking creators to undergo comparable rounds on totally different platforms, usually leaving them annoyed. That is the place DIDs are available in. With a DID, undertaking creators can show their id in a decentralized means, without having to fill out private data each time after which await guide verification.

So the way in which it really works is that if you wish to confirm your id and tie it to your NFT undertaking(s) you create a DID by efficiently logging in to numerous social media equivalent to Twitter, Discord, GitHub, Fb, Apple, Google and so forth. Have a look right here for extra data.

This DID is then added to your NFT-collection and future patrons can see that the NFT they’re shopping for is verified. They’ll go right here and discover all the mandatory data within the DID. So for instance if the NFT creator is Snoop Dogg and the DID proves that the stated NFT Creator has efficiently logged into Snoop Dogg’s Twitter account this permits for an especially excessive likelihood of the NFT being genuine.

IAMX’s imaginative and prescient is said to the human proper to have an id

In the case of the KYC side this has but to be carried out into the vNFT but it surely’s coming. The KYC information will likely be saved within the Identification Pockets of the NFT Creator and the DID will present that the NFT Creator has carried out a KYC, however the precise KYC information is not going to be saved within the NFT. The purpose of getting the KYC being a part of it’s so that once more it offers the additional reassurance that the NFT Creator is who they are saying they’re and helps avoiding scams.
