(IDOS)

IdOS (Identity Operating System) is a decentralized network designed to securely store and manage personal data. It allows users to keep identity documents and credentials in an encrypted, portable, and self-custodial format. This system simplifies onboarding to new services, such as reusing past KYC verification, while maintaining user privacy and security. It addresses the fragmentation and lack of user control over personal data in traditional systems, offering a more efficient and private way to manage digital identity across various Web3 applications.

User data in IdOS is stored across multiple distributed nodes and is encrypted using the user's public keys. Encryption and decryption occur at the edge, meaning data is secured before being written to IdOS and decrypted only after being read. While the data store is encryption-agnostic, current SDKs utilize authenticated asymmetric encryption. Crucially, only the user, as the owner of their IdOS key, has the ability to decrypt their data. By default, only the user has access to their data; others can only view it if granted specific, revocable Access Grants.

The IDOS Token serves as a utility token primarily designed to secure the IdOS Storage Network and distribute gas fees among network participants. Node Operators are required to stake a minimum amount of IDOS to join and operate within the network, contributing to its security and stability. Additionally, Data Issuers and Consumers incur gas fees, paid in IDOS, for their write and read operations respectively. Token holders also have the opportunity to delegate their tokens to Node Operators, further participating in and strengthening network security and governance.

For basic usage of IdOS, users are not required to purchase or hold any cryptocurrency tokens. While the system leverages blockchain technology, there are currently no gas fees or token requirements for core user functions. Users will need a crypto wallet, such as MetaMask or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet, to interact with their IdOS profile. However, simply holding or spending cryptocurrency is not a prerequisite for managing one's digital identity within the IdOS ecosystem, making it accessible to a broader audience.

To be eligible for IDOS Airdrops, users should actively participate in IdOS' incentive campaigns. Eligibility is typically assessed prior to the Token Generation Event (TGE), with distributions occurring shortly thereafter. Participation involves creating an IdOS Profile on the official IdOS App, completing a human verification process (e.g., a face scan), and then engaging in various quests and tasks to accumulate points. Additional points and digital reputation can be earned through referral programs and by making active contributions to the IdOS community.

By default, only the user, as the owner of their IdOS key, has direct access to their data and credentials stored within an IdOS Profile. The data inside these credentials is encrypted specifically with the user's key pair. Other entities or services can only gain access to this data if the user explicitly grants them an Access Grant. This grant mechanism is entirely under the user's control, meaning they can manage who has access to specific pieces of their data and, importantly, revoke these grants at any time, ensuring continuous user ownership and privacy.
