Litentry is a decentralized cross-chain identity aggregator built on the Substrate framework. Its primary objective is to enable decentralized identity (DID) aggregation, verification, and credit calculation across multiple networks. It focuses on solving the issue of identity redundancy in the Web3-powered application ecosystem by collecting, indexing, and distributing DIDs to various blockchains in a decentralized and verifiable manner.
Key features of the Litentry network include:
The platform facilitates the management of identities, allowing users to use anonymous and independent identities across different applications and services without needing passwords or additional registration details.
After collecting user data, Litentry stores it decentralized, ensuring accessibility from various corners of the distributed world.
An innovative feature of Litentry is the ability for users to stake their identities and be rewarded, similar to staking tokens in other blockchain networks.
Litentry allows users to interact with multiple services using one identity, enhancing anonymity and eliminating the need for multiple accounts.
Litentry's architecture is layered, with the Litentry Runtime sitting on top of Substrate, a Parachain of Polkadot. Offline workers are used when generating identities. The User Side is the second layer where users control their data, and anonymous data from applications are stored decentralized.
The Litentry project originated in 2019 when it enrolled in the Web3 Foundation Grant. In 2020, its developers raised funding for the project by conducting its seed and strategic rounds.
In Q1 2021, the LIT token was launched through listing in Binance Launchpool and other CEXs. During this quarter, the Litentry network joined Polkdaot DAO Alliance, Berkeley Xcelerator Cohort, and Substrate Builders Program.
Other notable developments through 2021 include connecting Polkadot Rococo as a parachain, launching Proof of Concept, launching Litentry Crowdloan, and getting listed on KuCoin.
Significant milestones in the Litentry roadmap from 2022 include launching Litmus Crowdloan, ideation of My Crypto Profile 2.0, developing the TEE sidechain, rebranding the project, and working on IdentityHub.
IdentityHub’s alpha version was released in Q1 2023, followed by its beta release in Q2. As of August 2023, Litentry has planned the public launch of IdentityHub in Q3 2023, along with its SDK development.
