6 | | -Many factors shape our identities; the communities we belong to, the activities we participate in, and the assets we |
7 | | -own. Web3 identities are no different. A user may hold identity artifacts such as an NFT that confers DAO membership, a |
8 | | -Soul-Bound Token (SBT) that certifies their university degree, and cryptographic proof that confirms their affiliations |
9 | | -in some social graph. Unlike in real life, however, web3 identities are not yet cohesive (with digital assets, the |
10 | | -situation is similar, but a wider list of protocols works on the problem). This is because the web3 ecosystem is |
11 | | -dispersed across multiple blockchains. For instance, a user’s DAO NFT may be issued on Ethereum, their University |
12 | | -Credential on Solana, and their social graph may be off-chain but reflecting interactions on a dApp on Polygon. While |
13 | | -many protocols bring interoperability to digital assets, none provide unique solutions to make digital identities and |
14 | | -their myriad components interoperable. |
15 | | - |
16 | | -Firstly, the various custom artifacts composing digital identities require bespoke solutions. Yet, it is also vital to |
17 | | -use them interchangeably and that the solutions meet certain standardizations. Secondly, privacy concerns require users |
18 | | -to reveal only specific aspects of their identity, like confirming residency without sharing their precise address. |
19 | | - |
20 | | -Rarimo is the only interoperability protocol that overcomes these challenges. It offers cross-chain identity, state, and |
21 | | -digital asset management across chains using embedded ZK proofs for privacy assurance. Rarimo allows: 1) transfer |
22 | | -(asset) and replicate (identity state) existing entity from its source chain to the needed or 2) create identity state |
23 | | -directly on Rarimo and propagate it to any point of web3 universe. |

25 | | -**Rarimo**: As well as its identity-specific features, Rarimo has a range of characteristics that make it particularly |
26 | | -secure, seamless, and cost-effective as a general-use interoperability protocol. Firstly, using a Threshold Signature |
27 | | -Scheme (TSS), Rarimo provides high-security guarantees at a constant operation price. Secondly, its application layer |
28 | | -means developers can effortlessly integrate messaging contracts from existing dApps without building notable amounts of |
29 | | -custom, use-case-specific logic. Thirdly, Rarimo supports streamlined, single-click, single-transaction flows. Users can |
30 | | -perform complex, multi-chain activities with only a single click. Especially for identity cases, Rarimo uses a |
31 | | -zk-focused approach that allows using cryptographically secure credentials without revealing personal data on-chain, |
32 | | -making publishing identities easier and cheaper for identity providers. |
