Features & Capabilities

BrightID is a decentralized identity network designed to prove your uniqueness as a person without relying on government-issued identifiers. Unlike traditional IDs like Social Security Numbers, BrightID is self-issued and verified through small trusted groups of friends or relatives, ensuring privacy and security.

Your BrightID accumulates a score representing your uniqueness in the network, which increases as you build connections. The extension ensures your personal information like name and photo is stored only on your device and shared solely with your trusted connections. Learn more and explore organizations participating in BrightID benefits by visiting the official website and reading their whitepaper.
