Travelers are tired of repeatedly entering passports, driver’s licenses, and credit card details across different travel sites. Decentralized Identity (DID) aims to create a secure, self-sovereign digital ID that travelers own and control.

By leveraging blockchain-based identity credentials, a traveler can verify their age, nationality, and payment capability without sharing raw sensitive data. This reduces data privacy risks (GDPR compliance) and eliminates identity theft vulnerabilities at checkout.

Hotels can verify guest identity instantly before arrival, sending encrypted room keys directly to their phone, resulting in a zero-wait check-in process.
