  • Self-Sovereign Identity, or SSI, is the digital alter ego of identity documents
  • Stakeholders in the SHIB ecosystem fully control and secure their digital identities

SHIB and its Shiba Inu Ecosystem is integrating Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) into its protocols moving forward, Bankless Times learned from a press release.

The global recognition of these protocols, with countries like Canada and the European Union showing active interest, promises SHIB’s status as a pioneer in integrating these advanced trust protocols throughout blockchains and other decentralized technologies where next-generation digital identity verification will be crucial.

A new global standard

Shiba Inu Lead Developer Shytoshi Kusama commented:

We are releasing much more than just an outstanding L2 blockchain with interoperability across diverse chains and businesses. We are laying the groundwork for a new global standard in decentralized digital trust and international identity verification. In this way Shibarium is the herald of a new digital age where faith in systems is restored and enhanced through the power of community, blockchain, AI, and DAOs for governance.

Self-Sovereign Identity, or SSI, is the digital alter ego of identity documents, like passports and driver’s licenses, that have secured trust in the physical world. In the digital world, SSI grants the user control over their personal data and its distribution, redefining privacy in the centralized structures of identity management that prevail today.

Integration in upcoming L2 blockchain Shibarium

The Shiba Inu Ecosystem has been working with its community of developers to ensure that SSI is a priority and will be fully integrated into all necessary protocols moving forward, including SHIB’s upcoming Layer 2 blockchain Shibarium, so that those who interact with the Shiba Inu Ecosystem are empowered to fully control and secure their digital identity without the interference of third parties.
