What’s new? Cardano Foundation, a non-profit organization created to support the blockchain of the same name, has launched Veridian, an open-source digital identity platform. The platform, designed for individuals and organizations, uses the Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI) and Authentic Chained Data Container (ACDC) protocols to verify identity and authenticate online interactions.

What else is known? The team also introduced Veridian Wallet, which will allow users to manage their credentials, private keys, and identifiers.

“We believe your identity should be yours alone — secure, authentic and under your control, With Veridian it is now possible to build quantum resistant, globally interoperable, enterprise-grade solutions for individuals and organizations,” Thomas A. Mayfield, head of decentralized trust and identity solutions at the Cardano Foundation, said.

Veridian competes with other blockchain-based digital identity projects such as Sam Altman’s World and Humanity Protocol. Both platforms collect a person’s biometric data to verify identity.
