Engineered for scale, privacy, and speed
A specialized Layer 1 optimized for verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs — built on proven cryptographic primitives and open standards.
A Purpose-Built Stack
Unlike general-purpose blockchains, every layer of the Solidus architecture is optimized for secure credential management.
Applications & Wallets
Consumer interfaces, enterprise dApps, and identity wallets built using Solidus SDKs.
Protocol Logic
The core verification logic, credential schemas, and smart contracts governing identity flows.
Validator Network
The underlying Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism ensuring finality and immutability.
Zero-Knowledge Primitives
The vision behind Solidus: prove anything about yourself, without revealing anything else. Ed25519 credentials are live today, BBS+ selective disclosure is live on testnet (audit pending), and ZK predicate proofs remain on the roadmap.
Credential Issuance
Zero-Knowledge Proof
Verification
Credential Issuance Details
A trusted issuer (e.g., DMV, Bank) signs a verifiable credential containing your private data and delivers it to your local wallet.
Today: Ed25519 signatures — the credential is signed with the issuer's private key and bound to the holder's DID. Only the holder possesses the raw credential data. BBS+ selective-disclosure signatures over BLS12-381 (per IRTF draft-irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures) are live on testnet; external audit pending.
Network Performance
Solidus is engineered to handle enterprise-grade identity volume without compromising decentralization or speed.
Throughput
Current testnet throughput. Target: 50K+ TPS on mainnet.
Block Time
HotStuff BFT with 3-chain finality on testnet.
Transaction Cost
Target flat-fee pricing independent of network congestion.
Mainnet Target
Roadmapped optimizations leveraging parallel execution.
Consensus
HotStuff-based Byzantine fault tolerance with leader rotation.
Testnet Validators
Multi-validator testnet live. Open validator program coming soon.
Built on Global Standards
No vendor lock-in. Solidus natively implements World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications for decentralized identity.
Verifiably Open Source
Security requires transparency. The Solidus protocol, cryptography primitives, and smart contracts are entirely open source and available for public audit.
