Fairway Wallet: A Next-Generation Identity Solution
(Fairway’s approach to digital wallets and workforce mobility)
Meeting the Demand for Digital Identity Solutions in a Mobile Workforce
As the world rapidly shifts toward digital transformation, the need for secure, portable, and user-controlled digital identity solutions has never been more pressing. Millions of people worldwide face challenges related to proving their identity across borders, industries, and platforms. Whether it's verifying credentials for employment, accessing financial services, or complying with regulatory requirements, the traditional methods of identity verification are increasingly inadequate in the face of a mobile and global workforce.
According to the World Bank, nearly one billion people globally lack a legally recognized identity, creating barriers to economic participation. Additionally, McKinsey reports that companies lose billions annually due to inefficiencies in identity verification and fraud prevention. This growing demand for a decentralized, user-centric identity system has led to the rise of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)—a revolutionary model where individuals retain full control over their credentials without relying on centralized authorities.
Enter Fairway Wallet, a cutting-edge digital wallet designed to harness the power of SSI and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to offer a seamless, secure, and compliant identity solution. Built on Hyperledger Identus and leveraging the power of Cardano, Fairway Wallet is taking digital identity to the next level with unparalleled security, decentralization, scalability, and enterprise adoption potential.
How Fairway Uses SSI and Verifiable Credentials
Fairway Wallet leverages Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) to empower users with complete control over their identity and credentials. Unlike traditional identity systems that require constant reliance on centralized databases or intermediaries, Fairway enables users to securely store, manage, and share their credentials directly from their digital wallet.
At the heart of Fairway’s innovation is its use of Verifiable Credentials (VCs)—tamper-proof, cryptographically signed digital credentials issued by trusted entities (e.g., employers, universities, government agencies). These credentials can be instantly verified by third parties without requiring continuous access to the issuing institution.
Key Benefits of Fairway Wallet:
🌍 Global Accessibility: Users can prove their identity and credentials across borders, industries, and platforms.
🔐 Privacy-Preserving Verification: Through the use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), users can share only what’s necessary, safeguarding their privacy.
📱 User-Friendly Experience: An intuitive interface designed to enhance usability while ensuring high-level security.
💸 Cost-Effective: Eliminates costly intermediaries, providing a streamlined, efficient credentialing process.
🔑 Full Ownership: Users have complete control over their credentials, avoiding reliance on centralized databases.
🚀 Seamless Integration: Compatible with various identity systems including EUDI, eIDAS 2.0, OpenID, and MOSIP.
🛡️ Built on Cardano and Hyperledger Identus: Leveraging the robustness of Cardano's blockchain with the enterprise-grade identity management of Hyperledger Identus.
Powered by Hyperledger Identus and Cardano
Fairway Wallet is built on Hyperledger Identus, a robust and enterprise-ready SSI framework designed for security, privacy, and interoperability. Hyperledger, a trusted name in decentralized identity solutions, provides a strong foundation for Fairway’s infrastructure, ensuring that identity verification is trustless, transparent, and future-proof.
Hyperledger Identus, formerly known as Atala PRISM, is developed by Input Output Global (IOG) and integrated into the Hyperledger Foundation’s ecosystem. Its architecture is designed to leverage Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) for creating secure, user-centric identity systems. Identus provides a layered approach to identity management involving:
Identity Creation and Registration: Anchoring DIDs on the Cardano blockchain, ensuring immutability and authenticity.
Credential Issuance: Providing tamper-proof credentials through trusted institutions.
Verification: Using privacy-preserving mechanisms such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).
Revocation and Updating: Allowing credentials to be updated or revoked with transparency.
The adoption of Hyperledger Identus ensures the future compatibility with standards like GDPR (already), eIDAS 2.0, and W3C Verifiable Credentials (already). Its strong foundation within the Hyperledger Foundation also provides extensive developer resources and enterprise-grade governance.
Additionally, Fairway is integrated with the Cardano blockchain, widely recognized as the most robust, scalable, and secure blockchain for enterprise and governmental adoption. Cardano’s proof-of-stake architecture provides Fairway with unmatched sustainability, low transaction costs, and high resilience against security threats, making it the ideal backbone for digital identity solutions.
