Alongside smart contact wallet accounts, usernames are assigned a web3 DNS to enable trusted payments from EOA wallets.\n\nProfile.io addresses the problems of data lock-in on incumbent platforms and lack of user agency of their own data, as well as the proliferation of unverified identity assets.

For example, much social interaction will take place on other platforms such as discord and farcaster through nft unlocks - with profile.io providing a gateway.  \n\nUsers and organisations provide Soulbound NFTs and other identity assets to others to verify their experience skills or certifications. For example, we are partering with Universities for them to issue on-chain degree certificates.\n\nUsers are automatically assigned:\n\n- EVM and Solana smart contract accounts and wallets. Non-custodial and gas subsidised for initial soulbound nft minting as they issue soulbound nft skill badges to other users as part of sign up.\n\n- DID for identity asset provenance\n\n- Web3 DNS to use profile.io/username or username.profile.io as wallet address to receive payments, reducing the friction of current wallet payments.\n\nOpen Source components of profiles enable users to incorporate their own profile sections. Initial integrations will include Frames.  SDKs also enable other applications to import user profile data, and to syndicate sign up of verified profiles into the verified profile network, benefiting from a revenue share.\n\nProfile verification includes verifying both real name or anonymous profiles depending on user preference and we incorporate 3 methods to cater to both web2 and web3 anon audiences.\n\nKYC/KYB through likeness checks, with basic membership costing $1-3 and premium membership p.a. and premium membership costing $10-$100 p.a. with early adopters benefiting from lower rates.
