StellarProof

What is StellarProof

StellarProof is the identity layer for Stellar. Verify once using your national ID and Get a credential locked to your wallet. Use it at every anchor instantly, with one tap. No uploading the same passport again. No waiting. No five different apps storing copies of your face.

SDF wrote this goal into SEP-12 in 2018:
"Allow a customer to enter their KYC information once and use it across many services without re-entering manually."

That was the plan. Nobody built the infrastructure. StellarProof is that infrastructure.

The Problem

Stellar has 100+ anchors across countries. Every single one runs its own KYC stack independently - SumSub here, Onfido there, Veriff somewhere else. A user who wants to use three anchors uploads the same passport three times, waits three times, and each anchor pays $1-3 in verification costs three times.

60–80% of users abandon KYC before completing it, Not because they don't want to use the product Because they've done it before and don't want to do it again.

Without StellarProof:
  User → Coins.ph   → Upload passport, ID, selfie. Wait 2 days. ✓  ($1.35)
  User → Vibrant    → Upload passport, ID, selfie. Wait 2 days. ✓  ($1.35)
  User → Bitso      → Upload passport, ID, selfie. Wait 2 days. ✓  ($1.35)

  Same person. Same passport. Same face.
  3 separate databases holding your documents.

The Solution

StellarProof doesn't hold your identity data at all. Your KYC provider verifies you once and issues a credential directly to your own wallet — StellarProof never sees or stores it. When an anchor needs to confirm you're verified, your wallet proves it directly; StellarProof's servers only ever see a yes/no result, never your documents.

With StellarProof:
  User → Coins.ph   → Verify once via DigiLocker/PhilSys. Credential issued to wallet. ✓
  User → Vibrant    → One tap consent. Proof from wallet in 2 seconds.               ✓
  User → Bitso      → One tap consent. Proof from wallet in 2 seconds.               ✓

  Same person. One verification.
  Credential lives in your wallet. Zero central databases.
There's no central database of user identities to breach, because there isn't one. StellarProof's infrastructure stores only public information — which KYC providers are approved, and which credentials have been revoked — never anything that identifies you.
