The Global Identity Challenge

Current systems are broken:
  • Centralized databases concentrate risk, creating surveillance and mass breaches.
  • Self-sovereign identity wallets give users control but lack interoperability and usability.
  • Cross-border compliance remains fragmented, excluding billions from the digital economy.
The result:
  • 1.4 billion people remain unverified and unbanked.
  • $4 trillion lost yearly to counterfeit trade.
  • Impersonation fraud rising faster than any other cybercrime.
The need:
A model that connects privacy with accountability, and local sovereignty with global interoperability.

Digital Identity 2.0

A hybrid architecture combining decentralized verification, jurisdictional custody, and zero-knowledge proof compliance.
Core Principles:

  • Privacy: no central database or exposure of private data.

  • Accountability: every verification is auditable under the law of its jurisdiction.

  • Sovereignty: each Notary Node operates under a legal framework tied to a nation or authority.


Architecture

Notary Nodes

Operate under local jurisdiction to manage attestations and ensure lawful data custody. They are the backbone of the trust network.

Proof of Life™

Face-to-face or video-based verification ensures that a verified person truly exists — without revealing private documents.

Trust Signal & Trust Score

A dynamic confidence indicator — green = verified, yellow = unverified, red = under review — tied to ongoing human validation.

Trust Score

A dynamic confidence indicator — tied to ongoing human validation.

Stealth ID

A Notarized Sovereign ID, Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) to authenticate attributes while keeping personal data private. TONstealthID

V-Link (Verified Link)

Extends an authenticated identity to businesses, wallets, or products. It inherits the Notary Node’s sovereignty, allowing authentic transactions without exposure.

ZK QR

ZK QR generates zero-knowledge proof-based QR codes to authenticate transactions, products, or URLs.

Double Pendulum Privacy Model

At the core of Digital Identity 2.0, the Double Pendulum Architecture separates identity contexts: each identity (person, business, or product) is an independent pendulum — private, isolated, and resilient.

Comparative Landscape

Model Custodian Strength Limitation
Centralized Identity Governments / Corporates Simplicity, efficiency Single point of failure, surveillance risk
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSID) User-controlled wallets User autonomy Complex, poor interoperability
Notarized Sovereign Identity (NSID) Jurisdictional Notary Nodes Balanced privacy, legal accountability, interoperability None inherent — adaptable to law
