A decentralised identity framework that uses zero-knowledge proofs to let users present verifiable credentials without revealing the underlying data.

- Polygon ID issues credentials that holders store and control, and lets them prove statements about those credentials using zero-knowledge proofs. A verifier can confirm a claim, such as being over a certain age, without seeing the full attribute.
- The framework follows self-sovereign identity principles, keeping credential data with the user rather than a central database. On-chain components handle the registration and revocation needed to check that proofs remain valid.
