Verida Wallet and GateKeeper Partnership Empowers Users with Self-Sovereign Storage of Verifiable Credentials and Zero Knowledge Proofs

Verida Network is thrilled to announce our partnership with GateKeeper, a leading middleware solution in the self-sovereign identity (SSI) space.

Verifiable credentials are digital credentials that represent specific information about individuals or entities, and they are cryptographically signed by trusted issuers.

By leveraging Verida’s self-sovereign storage network and GateKeeper’s identity stack, users can securely store their Polygon ID verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs in the Verida Wallet. This ensures the privacy and security of users’ personal information, as they have full control over their data and can selectively disclose it when needed.

Addressing Fragmentation and Improving User Experience

The fragmentation of data and applications often leads to a poor user experience. With Verida Wallet and GateKeeper’s infrastructure, users can consolidate their credentials in a single wallet interface built on a secure and privacy-preserving network. Verida’s “super wallet” empowers users with self-sovereign ownership of their identity, crypto assets, encrypted personal data, and a secure data inbox for messaging. Verida Wallet leverages the Verida Network to store verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to maintain control over their data across various applications.

Streamlining Verification and Access Control

Using Verida Wallet and GateKeeper together streamlines the credential verification process for all parties. Any Polygon ID credentials issued with GateKeeper or any other Polygon ID credential issuer can be stored, verified and reused with the Verida Wallet. This enables applications, businesses, and communities to implement access controls based on these credentials. This simplifies the verification flow and enhances security and trust.

Looking ahead, both teams are committed to enhancing the user experience and streamlining self-sovereign web3 tooling for developers and end-users. GateKeeper’s expertise in verification flows and Verida’s dedication to user-centric design create a strong foundation for delivering a more consolidated, simplistic, and user-friendly platform for identity and access management.
