Solana ID

Solana ID was an on-chain identity and reputation app on Solana. It is not the Solana chain ID, a program ID or a transaction ID. The app gave each user a score, the SOLID score. Its token, SOLID, paid users when apps looked up their data. The team said on 19 August 2026 that it would close. The Hub, API and Display Network went offline at the end of September. The app now shows only a shutdown notice. The SOLID token still trades, but no product sits behind it.

Is Solana ID shut down?

Yes. The app at app.solana.id now carries a notice that "Solana ID goes offline at the end of September 2026". The marketing site at solana.id still loads its old pages, which is easy to mistake for a live product. It isn't one.

The team set out the wind-down in its August 2026 announcement, as reported by Crypto Briefing and ChainCatcher:

• The Hub, the API that partner apps used to check scores, and the Solana Display Network stopped at the end of September 2026.
• User data is to be deleted by the end of 2026.
• Its mailing lists will be deleted too, unless users opt in to a new, unrelated list.
• The team said it is open to offers for the brand and technology.

Staked SOLID has already been returned to the wallets that staked it, according to the app's notice. There is nothing to claim.

How the SOLID score and Data-2-Earn worked

Solana ID turned a user's wallets into one profile they could reuse. You linked wallets, even across chains, and Solana ID scored what you had done on-chain: transactions, event attendance and use of DeFi apps. The SOLID score put each user in one of four tiers. Partner apps checked the tier to send airdrops, early access and discounts to real users, not bots.

The site said zero-knowledge proofs kept this private. A partner could check a claim about you without seeing your wallets or history. The docs also listed a "Credential Vault" for off-chain records as coming soon.

The SOLID token ran a loop the team called Data-2-Earn. Apps paid in SOLID to look up user data. The website says 50% went back to the users who agreed to share it. Its 2024 application to Jupiter's LFG Launchpad said 70%, so the split changed over time. Users could also lock up SOLID in what the site called reputation staking. The site compared it to staking that secures a network, "with the difference that you're securing your own reputation."

What happens to the SOLID token after the shutdown

SOLID did not go away with the product. The team burned the whole company treasury allocation of SOLID, about 73.78% of total supply, according to ChainCatcher's report of the announcement. It also locked the liquidity pools rather than withdrawing them, so the token can still be traded.

With the API gone, SOLID has no use left. No app can query scores, and no apps pay users in SOLID for their data.

Why Solana ID shut down

The team said it could not get both sides of its market going at once. With no app campaigns, users had no rewards. With too few users, apps saw no point in running campaigns, as cryptonews.net put it.

ChainCatcher's report lists the other reasons the team gave:

• perks from partners took a long time to line up;
• it was hard to draw traffic from the biggest apps;
• marketing budgets shrank in a bear market;
• there were few ways to raise more money.

Who the on-chain reputation app was for

Solana ID suited two groups. The first was active Solana users with a long on-chain history, who wanted that history to earn them perks without proving themselves app by app. The second was projects that wanted to aim airdrops and rewards at real, engaged users instead of farmers.

Neither group can use it now. Anyone who needs a working on-chain credential, or an app that wants to filter out bots, has to look at an alternative.

Risks: phishing, user data and the SOLID token

The most pressing risk is scams that use the project's name. The app's notice states that "Solana ID will never ask you to connect a wallet to claim SOLID. Anyone who does is trying to steal from you." Since staked tokens were already returned, any "claim" or "migration" site is a phishing attempt.

The other risks follow from the shutdown:

• The token has no product. SOLID trades only because its pools were locked, and no app now creates demand for it.
• Your data is held until deletion. The team says user data will be deleted by the end of 2026. Until then it sits with the company, Digitalsocial.ID Ltd, per the site's footer.
• Nothing on-chain to check. Our listing has no program addresses for Solana ID, so we could not check who controls any upgrade authority. We have found no published audit.

Solana ID alternatives: Civic Pass and the Solana Attestation Service

Identity on Solana did not end with Solana ID. Civic runs Civic Pass, a pass tied to your wallet that can't be sold or moved. Apps can ask for it before you get in, and each app picks the checks behind it, from a live selfie to an ID document.

The Solana Attestation Service went live on 23 May 2025. It is an open way to issue and check credentials on Solana. Solana ID was a launch partner, using it to record verified work-history credentials on-chain, according to Range. Civic joined at launch too, and existing Civic Passes work with it. Our talk summary on the service explains how it works.

The catch is that both check who you are. They don't score what you have done, and neither pays you for your data, which was the heart of Solana ID.

DSID team, funding and history

Solana ID was built by DSID, a team of four founders whose CEO, Simon, is a former venture capitalist. The team's LFG application in March 2024 listed:

• a Solana Foundation instant grant;
• support from the Concordium Foundation, Blockchain Founders Group, Mina Protocol and Partisia Blockchain;
• team members in Superteam Balkans, Germany and the Philippines;
• an alpha version first built on Concordium, and work during Colosseum.

The application said the SOLID Priority Pass waitlist drew almost 10,000 sign-ups in its first week. The application was for round two of Jupiter's LFG Launchpad vote.

In July 2024 the project raised $250,000 in a pre-seed SOLID token sale, then ran sales through SwissBorg and Borgpad. By the time it closed, the team said the Hub had passed 17,000 users, per ChainCatcher.
