Identity Standards Solutions

WalletConnect Network is an open-source connectivity protocol standard that has defined how wallets authenticate to decentralized applications since 2018. Its architecture uses end-to-end encrypted communication channels routed through a relay network that never holds private keys or user funds, establishing a privacy-preserving session model that has become a de facto standard across Web3. The protocol supports Link Mode via Universal Links for persistent cross-platform sessions, reducing friction while maintaining the security guarantees the standard mandates. To strengthen domain authenticity and reduce phishing risk, WalletConnect ships the Verify API, which enables dApps to attest their domain identity and alerts users to spoofed frontends. AppKit also surfaces email and social login as authentication pathways alongside traditional wallet connections, broadening the identity options available to application developers. With coverage spanning over 100 blockchains, 700 wallet integrations, and 4.1 million unique active wallets served, the protocol operates at a scale that demonstrates its role as a foundational identity and authentication standard for decentralized applications.

Swig implements a multi-authority identity standard on Solana that accepts Google OAuth credentials, one-time passwords, Ethereum keypairs, and Secp256r1 (P-256) keys used by hardware passkeys alongside native Solana signatures. An IDP SDK translates these standard authentication events into on-chain Swig wallet sessions, bridging conventional identity provider flows with the Solana account model. Each wallet stores structured roles combining an authority identity with a bounded permission set, creating a verifiable on-chain record of who can act and under what conditions without involving a centralized intermediary. Session keys implement time-limited credential delegation, allowing applications to transact within pre-approved permission bounds without repeated user authorization for each step. Permissions cover SOL and SPL token transfers, staking, specific program access, spending limits, time windows, and recurring payment authorization. The on-chain protocol is open-sourced under AGPLv3 and was independently audited by Accretion in 2025 under report reference A25ANA2, with additional audits planned for the Developer SDK and IDP SDK as those layers mature.
