Verida

P2P Platform

A decentralized infrastructure platform (self-described 'layer zero DePIN') providing encrypted private database storage, confidential compute, and decentralized identity for personal data and private AI applications. Combines performance and privacy of traditional databases with user-controlled keys for complex DApps .

Capacidades

Sovereign identity Data portability Self-hostable

P2P Platform Atributos

Origins Database / Ecosystem/SDK (self-sovereign encrypted data storage for Web3 apps)
Database CouchDB (encrypted per-user database instances on decentralized storage nodes; not on-chain; high-performance real-time syncing)
Query Language Custom (Verida Client SDK API for CRUD operations on encrypted database records; standard CouchDB/Mango queries underneath)
Data Formats JSON (encrypted JSON documents in CouchDB; W3C Verifiable Credentials; Web2 data import via Personal Data Bridge connectors for Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
Collaborative Live Editing N/A (designed for private personal data storage, not collaborative editing)
Rich Text Editing N/A
Mobile Support Yes (Verida Wallet app on iOS and Android; React Native SDK for mobile development)
Web Support Yes (browser SDK; Verida Vault web application; Verida.ai web interface for private AI)
Native Apps Yes (Verida Wallet is native mobile app on iOS/Android; no desktop native app)
Terms Self-sovereign user-pays model (users pay for own storage via VDA tokens; node operators self-host and bond VDA tokens; Verida.ai as hosted service)
Funds $8M+ total (initial $3M raise + $5M seed/strategic in June 2024)
Based On Polygon (DID registry and VDA token on Polygon PoS); CouchDB (storage layer); IPFS (content addressing where applicable); supports Ethereum, NEAR, Algorand blockchains
P2P Architecture DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network): storage nodes form decentralized network; nodes must bond VDA tokens to be discoverable; DID registry on Polygon blockchain; user data sharded across chosen nodes per application context
Development Tools Verida Client SDK (TypeScript — browser, React Native, NodeJS); Verida Connect (QR-code single sign-on framework supporting WalletConnect v1/v2); developer documentation portal; open-source server node software for self-hosting
Deployment Options Self-hosted storage nodes (any infrastructure); Verida Cloud (managed node hosting); single sign-on via Verida Connect for dApp integration; Docker-based node deployment
Authentication & Identity DID-based identity using did:vda method on Polygon; Ed25519 + secp256k1 signatures; multi-chain wallet authentication via WalletConnect; W3C Verifiable Credentials; Polygon ID and zkPass integrations for zero-knowledge proofs; single sign-on across supported blockchains
Storage Model Encrypted per-user CouchDB database instances on decentralized storage nodes; all data E2EE with user-controlled private keys; storage node operators cannot access user data; user-pays model via VDA token; no PII stored on-chain
Interoperability Multi-chain support (Ethereum, Polygon, NEAR, Algorand); W3C Verifiable Credentials and DIDs; Personal Data Bridge for importing Web2 data (Facebook, Twitter connectors); WalletConnect for cross-wallet compatibility; partnerships with Polygon ID, zkPass, cheqd, Kima, Partisia, Redbelly
Social Graph Verida One — public profile platform for cross-chain identity showcasing across web2 and web3; decentralized, multi-chain, censorship-resistant public profiles; DID-based social discovery
