Litentry
About Litentry
Litentry (LIT) is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, used for governance on the Litentry platform, a decentralized identity aggregation protocol. It enhances user privacy and security for dApps by managing identity across blockchains and applications. LIT incentivizes network participation, with rewards for identity verification and staking for voting power. Hanwen Cheng, holding an M.Sc in Information Technology from the University of Stuttgart, is the founder of Litentry.
Litentry (LIT) was a decentralized identity aggregation protocol designed to enhance privacy and security across decentralized applications (dApps). Operating as a parachain on the Polkadot network, it facilitated real-time processing of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and supported cross-chain identity verification. The protocol allowed users to manage their digital identities across multiple blockchains, enabling interoperability within decentralized ecosystems.
In February 2025, Litentry underwent a rebranding to become Heima (HEI). This strategic evolution expanded the platform’s focus from identity verification to include chain abstraction and broader cross-chain asset management, aiming to eliminate barriers between diverse blockchain networks.
The LIT token served multiple essential functions within the Litentry ecosystem:
- Payment:
- Staking:
- Rewards:
- Collateral:
