With an ambitious new outlook, KILT is expanding and improving its contribution to Web3, the next phase of the internet where identity is portable, credentials are verifiable, and users retain full control.

Read on to find out about some of the products and updates for 2025 which will take the network to the next level, providing multichain tools around DeID for everyday internet users, enterprise and developers.

New Products and Services

The new KILT product portfolio will include the Clans InfoFi platform; the Sporran super app; decentralized identifiers (DeIDs) for individuals and as a service (DaaS); KILT Pay, linking credentials with real-world payments; and a software development kit (SDK) bringing KILT to Ethereum-compatible blockchains. These and more are are under active development and are planned to roll out through 2025, beginning with Clans in the next few weeks.

Clans: Rewards in the Attention Economy

The attention economy just got an upgrade! Built on KILT, Clans is a mobile-first InfoFi platform that lets you earn rewards for engaging with others and creating content — directly tied to your activity on X (Twitter). Available on iOS and Android, Clans enables you to rise through the ranks while supporting your favorite projects across any network.

In Web3, community is currency.

But building meaningful communities requires more than Discord bots or bounty boards. It needs measurable attention economics, social proof, and incentives aligned with contribution.

Post-to-Earn Mechanics: Join campaigns, post content, and earn Roar Points based on real engagement (likes, reposts, replies) and mindshare.
Leaderboard Dynamics: Rise through the ranks and earn exclusive rewards by supporting campaigns.
Mobile-First UX: Available on iOS and Android, Clans facilitates effortless engagement, particularly for mobile-first communities globally.
Beyond KILT: Ecosystem-agnostic infrastructure allows other protocols to launch viral growth campaigns using Clans.

Fully mobile-native; Clans turns attention into ownership.

Sporran 2.0: Your Identity Super App

The Sporran 2.0 “Super App” brings decentralized identity to the real world. Not limited to Web3 and with frictionless onboarding, this multi-functional app lets you authenticate a decentralized single sign-on (SSO) and access secure digital signing (DIDsign), KILT Pay, and third-party integrations. So now you can manage your identity, credentials and tokens across the internet just using your phone.

Reimagining the Web3 Wallet.

Today’s Web3 wallets are great for storing tokens but fall short in managing identities and credentials, and providing utility. With Sporran 2.0, KILT is transforming its identity wallet into a multi-functional super app that unlocks decentralized identity in your daily digital life.

Claim & Present Credentials: Easily manage your KILT-based verifiable credentials (DIDs, attestations, proofs).
Built-In Security: Leverages TEE (Trusted Execution Environments) and MPC (Multi-Party Computation) for secure credential and key management.
Access Mini-Apps: Use Sporran as your gateway to DIDsign, KILT Pay, and third-party integrations.
Single Sign-On (SSO): Authenticate seamlessly across dApps and Web2 platforms using KILT-issued credentials, eliminating the need for passwords or traditional wallets. Powered by OpenID Connect (OIDC) with relayers, for a secure, single sign-on access across services.

Sporran is a Web3-native passport; not just for access, but for utility.

DIDsign 2.0: The Web3 Signing Platform for Everyday Use

A decentralized alternative to DocuSign and Adobe Sign, DIDsign 2.0 is a verifiable, privacy-preserving signing platform. Based on the internationally-recognized W3C decentralized identifiers (DIDs), you can create and control your digital identity, storing it on your own device. With DIDsign you can use decentralized identities for document signing and credential-based access via your phone or device, with signatures verifiable on-chain without revealing document content. The platform also enables multi-party signing, great for quick and transparent contract approvals.

Bringing decentralized signature infrastructure into everyday workflows.

KILT is reimagining DIDsign as a fully-featured decentralized signing platform: a verifiable, privacy-preserving alternative to DocuSign and Adobe Sign.

Legally-Sound Document Signing: Sign contracts, agreements, NDAs, and invoices using decentralized identifiers and timestamped hashes.
Credential-Based Authentication: Only signers with required credentials (e.g., verified KYC or professional affiliations) can access and sign.
Auditability Without Surveillance: All signatures are verifiable on-chain, while document contents remain off-chain and encrypted.
Team Collaboration: Manage multi-party signing flows, track progress, and issue countersignatures — all inside a unified interface.

From DAOs signing grants to enterprises managing staffing contracts — DIDsign 2.0 brings decentralized signature infrastructure into everyday workflows.

KILT Pay: Credential-Aware Payments Infrastructure

KILT Pay links your identity with real-world payments using verified credentials. This allows users and platforms to transact safely and seamlessly. Integrated with payment services, KILT Pay can be used for credential-based anti-money-laundering (AML) controls or non-custodial Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements without leaking personal data.

Web3 payments need more than just wallets and QR codes — they need verified, compliant identity.

KILT Pay bridges on-chain credentials with real-world payments, enabling merchants, platforms, and users to transact safely and seamlessly. Keep an eye on KILT X for announcements of collaborations with leading payment integrators.

Credential-based checkout and AML controls — without leaking personal data.
Onboarding tools for fintechs, exchanges, and DAOs requiring non-custodial KYC.

Pay for services with a tap, while proving eligibility or jurisdiction — no passwords, no screenshots, no friction.

EVM SDK: KILT Identity for Every Chain

The EVM Software Development Kit (SDK) expands KILT identity solutions beyond the Polkadot ecosystem, bringing them to Ethereum-compatible blockchains. The TypeScript SDK makes it easier for developers to integrate KILT as identity middleware, with cross-chain portability and credentials that can be utilized by smart contracts across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and all Ethereum-compatible blockchains.

KILT’s identity layer becomes composable across ecosystems.

We will be releasing a complete EVM Software Development Kit (SDK) that brings KILT’s credential primitives to Ethereum-compatible chains.

Solidity Libraries: KILT credentials can be natively verified by smart contracts across a range of blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and other Layer 2 solutions.
Cross-Chain Credential Portability: Credentials issued on KILT, validated across ecosystems.
TypeScript SDK: Simplifies backend and frontend development with credential APIs.

This makes KILT de facto identity middleware for the EVM universe.

DID-as-a-Service (DaaS): Developer-Friendly Identity APIs

Verifiable identity shouldn’t require a PhD in cryptography.

DID-as-a-Service is KILT’s turnkey developer suite that lets any builder integrate decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials into apps, platforms, and products — with just a few lines of code. Not limited to Web3 platforms, these can be used for secure log-ins, credential gating or age-restricted content, and embedded identity layers.

Use Cases:

Identity-based logins for DeFi or Web2 portals.
Credential gating for token sales, age-restricted content, or governance.
Embedded identity layers for wallets, exchanges, AI agents, and more.

Available via RESTful APIs and SDKs, DaaS lowers the barrier for integrating identity into high-scale applications.

Token Migration

To pave the way for KILT’s ambitious multichain future, the community voted to migrate the KILT token to a new contract on the Base network. This process will begin in the near future; details will be announced on KILT X (Twitter). KILT holders will be required to migrate their tokens either via supported exchanges or manually by a self-custody route. A detailed how-to guide will be published via X and the KILT blog before migration begins.

The new token contract, the migration contract, and migration portal have recently completed a security audit with Certik.

These new developments on KILT Protocol aim to bring more trust and security to the internet without compromising on privacy. Follow KILT updates on X or on the blog.

🔗 A Unified Identity Layer for the Decentralized Internet: Why It Matters

Identity is the missing layer in decentralized infrastructure.

Without scalable, privacy-preserving, and composable identity primitives:

DAOs can’t onboard contributors with trust.
DeFi protocols can’t scale responsibly or compliantly.
Content and engagement can’t be credibly incentivized.
Signing documents still relies on centralized Web2 vendors.

KILT solves this — with infrastructure, UX, and interoperability baked in.
