Building the Identity Layer of the Internet
We believe your digital identity should belong to you, not the platforms you use.
The Problem: Fragmented Identity
In the Web2 era, we surrendered our professional identities to walled gardens. Your resume lives on LinkedIn, your code on GitHub, your freelance reviews on Upwork, your booking availability on Calendly, and your transaction history on Stripe.
You do the work, but these platforms own the reputation graph. When you leave, you start from scratch. This fragmentation makes it incredibly difficult for independent workers to aggregate their true value and present a holistic picture of their capabilities.
Why Now: AI & The Personal Economy
We are entering the Personal Economy era. The traditional corporate 9-to-5 is being unbundled into discrete tasks, freelance contracts, creator subscriptions, and fractional consulting. At the same time, AI is making individuals vastly more productive.
As AI agents begin to negotiate work, match talent to tasks, and facilitate micro-transactions (via AgentBase), they need a standardized, machine-readable way to understand who you are, what you can do, and what you charge. PersonID provides that canonical data structure.
Our Philosophy
Open & Decentralized
PersonID utilizes W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DID). We provide the beautiful interface, but the underlying graph is yours to export and take anywhere.
User-Owned
Your reputation is your most valuable asset. You should control who has access to it, how it's displayed, and how it's monetized.
Ecosystem Driven
Identity is useless in isolation. That's why PersonID is the foundational layer of the broader Personal Economy Infrastructure (PEI).
Verifiable Truth
Moving past self-claimed skills to cryptographically verified capabilities based on actual work, code, and economic history.
