We aim to be one of the identity service providers for all entities on the Internet and to facilitate trustworthy interactions among them. Think of it as the identity layer the Internet was supposed to have from the beginning.

We're building an identity service for every Internet user — you and me. A service that gives you complete ownership and control of your digital identity, letting you prove who you are online without relying on any single third-party platform.

Yes. The YouMe Identity app is where you create and manage your identity. Your phone acts as your personal identity hub, storing your credentials securely on your device rather than in a cloud database.

Our core technology is not blockchain. We're related to blockchain in two ways: we can provide secure identity to blockchain participants, and we utilize blockchain selectively for storing long-term identity attributes where decentralized persistence is valuable.

Passkeys are a step in the right direction — they eliminate passwords. But passkeys only prove you have a specific key. We go further: from keys to identity. YouMe Identity addresses the management and usability gaps in passkeys by building a full identity layer on top of the same cryptographic foundation. We call this evolution Passid.

YouMe Identity works with any service that supports passkey authentication today. Services that integrate our enhanced protocol get additional capabilities: instant user registration, verifiable identity attributes, and direct engagement channels with their users.

Your identity credentials live on your device, but you set up recovery options when you create your identity. We've designed a recovery mechanism that ensures you can regain access without compromising the security model.

Most identity services focus on preventing bad things — blocking fraud, detecting breaches, managing access. We're building something more fundamental: a technical foundation for new kinds of interactions based on user-owned identity. Rather than patching the current system, we're providing the infrastructure layer that should have existed from day one.

We've developed proprietary technology that is currently in the patent process. We can't make full public disclosure at this stage, but we do share technical details under NDA with potential partners, investors, and collaborators.

The core identity service will always be free for end users. We believe identity is infrastructure, not a product you should have to pay for. Our business model is built around services for publishers and enterprises who want to leverage verified user identity, and in the future, we'll help users monetize their own attention and participation.
