Verite protocols are intended to assist individuals and businesses in keeping track of their personal information while also giving them complete control over how enterprises use it in the crypto economy. “Verite is returning autonomy over sensitive information to individuals while continuing to enable enterprises to communicate with identity-verified participants,” according to the company.
Verite does this by allowing users to cryptographically validate claims about their identities and store those claims with their digital assets in the same crypto wallets. “We are thrilled that our partners share our confidence that Verite’s identification standards will provide a new level of clarity, privacy, and simplicity to everyone trading in the crypto economy,” said David Puth, CEO of the Centre.
Individuals will be able to use their credentials across the crypto ecosystem, making digital assets far more accessible to both crypto natives and novices, according to the announcement. Verite’s protocol integration into smart contracts, applications, and websites does not introduce single-vendor or anti-competitive dependencies, according to the announcement: “Individuals will be able to use their credentials across the crypto ecosystem, making digital assets far more accessible to both crypto natives and novices.”
