  • Empowering users to control and share their data with explicit consent.
  • Connecting to decentralized networks compatible with ESSIF and W3C VC standards.

 

3. Expanding use cases

Sectors already adopting these technologies include:

Strategic benefits of Validated ID’s new services

 

  • Increased operational efficiency by reducing validation times.
  • Easier regulatory compliance thanks to solutions aligned with eIDAS2 and GDPR.
