Developed on World Mobile Chain, a layer-3 network built on Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2 Base, the product will use self-sovereign identity (SSI) technology. SSI is a decentralized form of identity that gives users full control of their data rather than handing it to third parties.
Blockchain technology underpins SSI in that it allows for users' data to be distributed and stored securely, removing the need for centralized identity providers.
The basis for PwC Italy and SKChain's product is the EU's digital identity regulation eiDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity EUDI) wallet that it introduces.
EiDAS aims to establish an EU-wide digital identity framework for accessing services and making electronic transactions.
