Solana Introduces a New Way to Verify Identity

Solana has launched a new decentralized identity framework designed to make trust and compliance seamless in the digital economy.

Called the Solana Attestation Service (SAS), the protocol enables secure identity verification across Web3 applications—without sacrificing user privacy.

Built in collaboration with the Solana Foundation and Solana Identity Group, SAS is now live on the network’s mainnet. It provides a flexible infrastructure where off-chain credentials—like KYC status, legal residency, or investor accreditation—can be cryptographically linked to any Solana wallet.

What makes SAS stand out is its focus on portability and privacy. Identity credentials are signed and reusable across multiple apps, but remain off-chain, meaning sensitive user data stays protected while enabling compliance and authentication.

SAS also removes the need for centralized gatekeepers. Anyone—from developers to institutions—can integrate it using a simple SDK, creating a neutral and programmable trust layer for decentralized capital markets.

Solana developers say the protocol was created to meet the demands of a growing internet-based financial system, where verifying identity, reputation, or jurisdiction must be scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving.
