Verified Identity

Definition

Verified identity in the digital asset space refers to a cryptographically authenticated and confirmed digital representation of an individual or entity. This involves linking a real-world identity to a blockchain address or decentralized identifier, often through Know Your Customer (KYC) or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. Verified identity is crucial for regulatory compliance, preventing fraud, and enabling permissioned access to certain decentralized services. It establishes trust and accountability in digital interactions.
