What is SBT?

zkMe is a decentralized Web3 credential network that leverages the power of zero-knowledge proofs to certify and issue SBTs. SBT contain information such as age, address, diplomas, social graph, and more. They allow for various use cases such as sign-in, data encryption, and communication. Basically, SBTs Provide Users with Control, Security, Privacy, and Portability. Users can use their SBT to access various services, such as financial services, game, and more, without disclosing personal information.

zkMe issues Holder’s verification proofs in the form of Soulbound Tokens (SBTs), accessible via the zkMe App or Widget, onto the Holder’s asset wallet. Holders can interact with web3 dApps, and if they participate in multiple chain ecosystems, an SBT delegated copy is minted for each, ensuring a seamless user experience.
