# KYWE: KYC With Ethereum - Decentralized Identity Verification for Web3

**KYWE is a revolutionary, blockchain-powered platform designed to transform how digital identity verification works in the Web3 ecosystem. By leveraging Ethereum, ENS, and cutting-edge cryptography, we've created a secure, private, and interoperable identity system that puts users in complete control of their personal data.**

## The Problem

**Current KYC systems are broken and centralized.** Traditional identity verification creates massive privacy risks, forces users to repeatedly share sensitive data, and creates silos that prevent seamless cross-platform verification.

**Key Problems:**

1. **Privacy Violation**: Users must share personal documents with every platform, creating massive data exposure risks

2. **Repeated Verification**: Same person verifies identity dozens of times across different platforms

3. **Centralized Control**: Big tech companies control and monetize your identity data

4. **No Interoperability**: Verified on one platform means nothing on another platform

## The Solution

**KYWE is a Web3 identity platform that lets you verify once, use everywhere.** We use blockchain technology to create self-sovereign digital identities that work across any platform while keeping your data private and secure.

**Our Value Offering:**

**For Users:**

- **Verify Once, Use Everywhere** - Complete KYC once, access any Web3 platform

- **Complete Privacy** - Your data stays encrypted and under your control

- **No More Data Sharing** - Never share personal documents again

- **Cross-Chain Compatible** - Works on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and more

**For Platforms:**

- **Instant Verification** - Verify users in seconds, not days

- **Reduced Compliance Costs** - No need to build your own KYC system

- **Enhanced Security** - Blockchain-backed verification with anti-fraud protection

- **Global Reach** - Access verified users from anywhere in the world

## Key Features:

1. **Self-Sovereign Identity**: Users own and control their identity data using ENS names and threshold cryptography, ensuring complete privacy while maintaining verifiability.

2. **AI-Powered Face Verification**: Advanced liveness detection and anti-spoofing technology ensures secure, fraud-resistant identity verification without compromising user privacy.

3. **Decentralized Storage**: Personal documents are encrypted and stored on Filecoin using Storacha, ensuring data availability while maintaining security and privacy.

4. **Cross-Chain Interoperability**: Built on Ethereum with support for multiple blockchains, enabling seamless identity verification across the entire Web3 ecosystem.

5. **Social Graph & Attestations**: A Base mini-app that allows trusted community members to vouch for and attest to user identities, creating a decentralized reputation system.

## Technology Stack:

- **ENS (Ethereum Name Service)** - Human-readable identity addresses

- **SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum)** - Secure authentication protocol

- **EFP (Ethereum File Protocol)** - Decentralized file storage

- **Filecoin (Storacha)** - Distributed document storage

- **Threshold Cryptography** - Multi-key encryption for data security

- **AI Face Detection** - Advanced liveness verification
