Introduction: At Vendible, we are committed to providing users with a secure, private, and borderless digital identity solution. Our groundbreaking, unique identity network, anchored in Trustible, has been designed with this vision in mind. Our integration with PolygonID, further enhancing our flagship product’s capabilities and ensuring a seamless experience for individuals and developers alike.What is Trustible? Trustible is an account management system that uses advanced biometrics to confirm users’ uniqueness, replacing the traditional and intrusive KYC (Know Your Customer) process and protecting their assets from loss. Trustible connects users’ accounts cross-chain through zero-knowledge circuits, enabling them to view their activity across multiple major blockchain networks. All information for users is stored without third-party intrusion in the identity vault.

The Power of PolygonID: PolygonID is a flexible digital identity solutions framework that allows users to create robust identity claims tailored to their needs. By integrating with PolygonID, Vendible can extend its services across the web3 ecosystem, providing users with a private and fully portable digital identity across various blockchain networks.

On this platform, you have the capability to synchronize your unique identity, or uID, established in Trustible, with a new PolygonID wallet. Once set up, you can conveniently manage your PolygonID wallet directly from within Trustible.

Given that your personal information is entirely owned by you, you function as both the issuer of your identity and the holder of your wallet. This aspect sets our system apart from others as we’ve constructed a custom integration at the protocol level to assure absolute privacy for each member when issuing credentials.

Within Trustible, you can leverage your wallet to generate zero-knowledge proof about your identity, such as verifying that you’re above a certain age. You’re also given the opportunity to accept new credentials from other issuers in the PolygonID network.

For developers seeking to integrate identity or authorization services, our platform facilitates a quick connection to their applications within Trustible. Quick Connect serves as a hub for members to view applications tied to the Vendible network and swiftly generate and link an account to onboard the application. Any required authorization, zero-knowledge authentication, or identity data required during the connection process is first displayed to the member. This authentication method ensures the user retains ownership and control of their data at all times.
