Idena

Idena is an open source project started in October 2018.

The Idena blockchain is driven by Proof-of-Person consensus with every node linked to a cryptoidentity, one person with equal voting power. It suggests a novel way to formalize people on the Internet: Idena proves the humanness and uniqueness of its participants without collecting personally identifiable information by running a Turing test at the same time globally.

Evolution of the Internet

Idena is the next step in the evolution of decentralized systems on the Internet. First, Bitcoin brought peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payments. Then Ethereum developed a virtual machine for running decentralized apps. Idena has introduced cryptoidentity enabling people to build democratic governance on the Internet.

Cryptoidentity

Cryptoidentity is your digitally verified avatar. It's semi-unique which means you can easily validate one account, but it's much harder to get two and impossible to get many accounts. It can not be bought and sold, its value grows with age, it can not be taken over. Anonymous and Sybil-resistant identity is a missing part for Web 3.0.

No authorities

Cryptoidentity is mutually verified by users with no central authority in the peer-to-peer network. It is anonymous, self-managed, and valid globally. Cryptoidentity has no central issuer, so it can not be banned, restricted or censored.

Equal human rights

All cryptoidentities in Idena have equal rights: to validate other identities, to vote, to verify transactions. Self-sovereign, decentralized and anonymous cryptoidentity prevents human rights abuse by the powerful, and supports the rights of the individual to be oneself and to freely associate.
