Global ID

GlobaliD (global.id) is a decentralized digital-identity platform that lets people create a portable, self-sovereign identity and lets developers add "Sign in with GlobaliD" login, issue verifiable credentials, and verify identity claims (such as proof of being 18+) through server-side issuer and verifier toolkits built on Hyperledger Aries. Developers create apps in the invitation-based developer portal to obtain OAuth2 client credentials, then integrate using the official @globalid npm SDKs. Surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of 500 Global.

Global ID is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Identity, Digital Identity, Decentralized Identity, and Self-Sovereign Identity.

Global ID’s developer surface includes authentication and 8 more developer resources.
