Illustration of a Bridge to visualise the bridging of Digital Identity with the Web3 world

WIDE is on a mission to bridge the gap between your skills and the opportunities available in Web3. Proving one’s credentials and accessing relevant opportunities is a time-consuming process. WIDE simplifies validating your credentials by allowing you to easily access and share your qualifications (and more). The goal is to allow you to participate in online governance, enrol to local initiatives, and join your favourite DAO based on your skills – enhancing your engagement in the Web3 world and beyond.

Why WIDE?

Easily Manage your Digital Identity

Access and share your credentials seamlessly in the Web3 world.

Protect your privacy

Keep your personal data safe. Share your data securely when needed.

No tech hassles

WIDE takes care of the complexity, while you focus
on what matters.

Present your credentials WIDEly

Instead of hundreds of accounts, you only need one customisable set of credentials that can be used across different platforms and services.

Present your credentials wisely

Your credentials give you access to new opportunities: Cast your vote, participate in co-ops, and engage with skill-based DAOs.

Authentic Bond Operating Network

AUTHBOND addresses Web3 contracting deficiencies by combating free-riding and enhancing financial security. Conventional Web3 contracting methods fail to meet MiCA regulations and verify identities.
