Meet the Didit Team:
We are Didit, a pioneering company in the field of digital identity. Since our inception, we have worked with a dual mission: to humanize the internet and revolutionize the way people and businesses interact online. We aim to provide digital identity solutions that create a world where access to a global economic system and a secure identity is a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of their background.
At Didit, we offer tailored solutions for both individuals and businesses, with the goal of humanizing the Internet:
For businesses: We provide a free, unlimited, and forever identity verification service. We firmly believe that in an era where fraud with deepfakes and generative AI is on the rise, being able to prove one’s real identity should not be a luxury, but a fundamental right.
For people:
- Didit ID: A digital identity that preserves privacy and allows people to prove who they really are with full control over their data.
- Didit App: An application that gives users absolute access to their identity and global finances through blockchain technology (Web3).
Our Reason for Being
The digital world is at a tipping point. With the rapid increase in online fraud and the imminent development of Artificial Generative Intelligence (AGI), distinguishing between humans and bots will become increasingly challenging. We anticipate that in the next 2 to 4 years, AGI will significantly impact all aspects of our lives, making secure, accurate, and accessible identity verification more crucial than ever.
At Didit, our mission is to humanize the Internet by providing an accessible identity verification solution for everyone. We believe it’s essential for people to have verifiable proof of their humanity online before it’s too late. That’s why we’ve developed Didit ID, a digital identity that preserves privacy and allows users to log in, manage their data, and verify who they are anytime, anywhere, and Didit App, the way in which people can make use of their reusable credentials and access a global economic system.
In this way, people can efficiently and securely verify their identity across multiple platforms and services without repeating the process. By creating a secure network of verified human connections, we are building a more trusted, people-centric Internet.
99.9% of the content we will consume on the internet in the next 2-3 years will be generated by AI. Impersonation and fake news will be the norm.
We will get used to it, yes, but the internet will suffer greatly from the erosion of trust and authenticity.
That’s why we urgently need solutions to address this issue and why we created Didit.

How Didit is Changing the Status Quo
We’re revolutionizing identity verification by offering a free, unlimited, and permanent solution, unlike other KYC providers (like Onfido, Sumsub, Metamap or IDme) that charge between $1 and $3 per verification. Our advanced technology supports document verification in over 220 countries and territories, facial recognition with liveness detection, and optional AML Screening.
With this approach, we enable companies to meet regulatory requirements at no additional cost, while improving the user experience. This vision generates a powerful network effect: as more companies adopt our solution, more users are able to reuse their verified credentials, reducing verification times and streamlining online interactions.

Notable Collaborations and Other Recognitions
Didit has forged strategic collaborations with industry leaders such as Orange, working together to improve the security and scalability of authentication in the telecommunications sector. We were also selected by HBX Group to join their TravelTech Lab, where we are revolutionizing the travel industry with disruptive technologies.
Furthermore, Didit was recognized as one of the top 5 startups at the latest NEXUS Startup Competition at Token 2049 in Singapore, solidifying our position as a leader in the digital identity space.
What ‘Startups of The Year’ means to us
Participating in HackerNoon’s Startup of the Year awards is an exciting opportunity for Didit to showcase our innovative approach to identity verification and digital identity management. We believe that this platform allows us to highlight the critical importance of secure, accessible, and privacy-preserving identity solutions in an increasingly digital world. By participating, we hope to raise awareness about the urgent need for humanizing the internet and making robust identity verification a fundamental right for all.
Our mission to provide free KYC services and create a universal digital identity aligns perfectly with the spirit of innovation that these awards celebrate. We see this as a chance to inspire other startups and established companies alike to prioritize user privacy, security, and accessibility in their technological solutions.
