Flowsta

Kit de Herramientas / Plataforma de Identidad

A self-sovereign identity toolkit built on Holochain providing a 'Sign in with Flowsta' OAuth 2.0 + PKCE authentication layer that gives every user a W3C-compliant Decentralized Identifier (DID) and zero-knowledge encrypted data storage. Developers integrate Flowsta Auth in minutes via a TypeScript SDK; end users get a portable single sign-on identity they control, backed by BIP39 recovery phrases, Ed25519 cryptography, and local-first key storage via the Flowsta Vault desktop app. Positions itself as a decentralized, censorship-resistant alternative to 'Sign in with Google' or similar OAuth providers.

Kit de Herramientas / Plataforma de Identidad Atributos

Orígenes Decentralized Identity / Authentication (motivated by data exploitation of centralized OAuth providers; founder built it after asking 'why isn't someone building this?' — a privacy-first SSO alternative to Google/Facebook login)
Base de Datos Holochain DHT (distributed hash table — user identity and encrypted data stored across Holochain peer network; Flowsta Vault stores keys locally; no central database)
Lenguaje de Consulta N/A (identity toolkit; data accessed via OAuth 2.0 token exchange and Holochain DHT retrieval; no general query language)
Formatos de Datos W3C DID (decentralized identifier per user); OAuth 2.0 authorization codes and access tokens; BIP39 mnemonic phrases (24-word recovery); Ed25519 key pairs; TOTP (HMAC-based one-time passwords for 2FA)
Soporte Móvil Partial mobile support (web-based OAuth flow mobile-accessible; Vault desktop app not available on mobile; no dedicated native mobile app documented)
Soporte Web Yes (flowsta.com web interface; OAuth authorization endpoint at login.flowsta.com; developer portal at dev.flowsta.com)
Aplicaciones Nativas Native apps (Flowsta Vault desktop app for Linux, macOS, Windows — stores encryption keys locally and enables offline desktop logins to Holochain apps)
Términos Freemium SaaS (free forever core tier — 10,000 MAU, 3 apps; Premium $10/month for short usernames and priority support; Premium+ username tiers $50–$800/year; Developer plans at dev.flowsta.com/pricing)
Fondos Undisclosed
Basado En Holochain (Int P2P RT — DHT infrastructure for distributed identity storage); W3C DID specification (ID Pro — standards-compliant decentralized identifiers); OAuth 2.0 + PKCE (authentication flow); Ed25519 (cryptographic signatures); BIP39 (recovery phrase standard); PBKDF2 (key derivation)
Permisos OAuth 2.0 scope-based (developer apps request scopes at authorization; user consents at login.flowsta.com; no user data stored on developer servers — token-based access only)
Herramientas de Desarrollo TypeScript-first SDK (npm installable — one command install); OAuth 2.0 + PKCE client library; 'Sign in with Flowsta' button assets (SVG, multiple variants); API reference at docs.flowsta.com/api-reference/; code examples at docs.flowsta.com/examples/; Quick Start guide; no secrets required — Client ID only
Autenticación e Identidad Self-sovereign identity via W3C DID (every user gets a DID based on their Ed25519 keypair); OAuth 2.0 + PKCE (developer integration layer); zero-knowledge architecture (user password never leaves device; Flowsta staff cannot access private data); local-first key storage via Vault; TOTP-based 2FA
Modelo de Almacenamiento Hybrid local-first + Holochain DHT (encrypted private data stored on Holochain DHT — distributed across peer network; encryption keys stored locally on user device via Flowsta Vault; no central Flowsta server stores private keys or user data; offline access possible via Vault)
Interoperabilidad W3C DID interoperability (Flowsta DIDs are standards-compliant and work with any W3C DID/VC ecosystem); OAuth 2.0 compatibility (any OAuth 2.0 + PKCE-capable application can integrate); Holochain ecosystem (Vault enables offline login to Holochain desktop apps)
Portabilidad de Datos High (user data stored on Holochain DHT is portable; if Flowsta disappeared, users could still access data through DHT; 24-word BIP39 recovery phrase enables full key recovery; no lock-in to Flowsta servers)
Gobernanza y Toma de Decisiones Founder-controlled (single founder; no DAO, community governance, or foundation structure documented; open source commitment stated but governance model unspecified)
Estándares de Identidad W3C DID (Decentralized Identifiers); OAuth 2.0 + PKCE; BIP39 (mnemonic recovery); TOTP/HMAC (RFC 6238 for 2FA)
Métodos DID Soportados Holochain-based DID (did method unconfirmed — likely did:holo or custom Holochain DID method; W3C DID compliance stated but specific method not documented publicly)
Gestión de Claves User-controlled local (Ed25519 keypair generated from user password via PBKDF2; private key stored encrypted on device via Flowsta Vault; BIP39 24-word recovery phrase for backup; password never leaves device)
Tipos de Credenciales W3C DID-based identity (every user gets a verifiable DID; verifiable credentials not explicitly documented as a separate feature in current release)
Método de Verificación Cryptographic signature verification (Ed25519 keypair; DID-based identity verification; OAuth 2.0 token exchange confirms authentication; zero-knowledge proof of password knowledge without revealing password)
Funciones de Privacidad Zero-knowledge architecture (password and private data encrypted client-side; Flowsta staff mathematically cannot access without user password); local-first key storage (keys never sent to server); no email/recovery phrase stored on Flowsta servers; TOTP 2FA secrets stored encrypted; 24-word self-custodied recovery (no email reset interception risk)
Métodos de Autenticación Password (PBKDF2 key derivation; zero-knowledge); TOTP-based 2FA (authenticator app); BIP39 recovery phrase (account recovery); OAuth 2.0 + PKCE (developer integration); offline desktop login via Vault (no internet required)
Mecanismo de Revocación Unconfirmed; no formal credential revocation mechanism documented; identity persists on Holochain DHT; OAuth tokens expire per standard OAuth lifecycle
Tipos de Agentes Soportados Humans (individuals; SSO identity service for personal accounts; no organizational or AI agent identity documented)
Tipos de Billetera/Cliente Web browser (flowsta.com — primary end-user interface); Flowsta Vault (native desktop app for Linux/macOS/Windows — local key storage and offline login)
Mecanismos de Recuperación BIP39 24-word recovery phrase (self-custodied; must be stored safely by user; no server-side reset possible — by design; loss of phrase and password means permanent loss of access)
Cumplimiento / Regulaciones Privacy-by-design (GDPR-aligned by architecture — no PII stored on Flowsta servers; zero-knowledge encryption); no formal compliance certifications documented
Protocolos de Intercambio de Credenciales OAuth 2.0 + PKCE (primary developer integration protocol; no DIDComm or OIDC4VC documented in current release)
Protocolos de Intercambio de Credenciales - Lista
Marco de Confianza Cryptographic verification only (trust derived from Ed25519 keypair and W3C DID; no trusted issuer registry or government-anchored trust; Holochain DHT provides distributed availability guarantee; no web of trust or reputation system)
Modelo de Costos Free tier (10,000 MAU, 3 apps — no credit card); Premium $10/month (short usernames, priority support); Premium+ usernames $50–$800/year; Developer pricing at dev.flowsta.com/pricing
Resistencia a la Censura High (identity data stored on Holochain DHT — no central server to shut down or censor; Flowsta staff cannot access or delete user data; if Flowsta company ceased to exist, user identities persist on DHT; no single point of failure)
