What is Everest Project?

Everest is a decentralized platform for a new economy, incorporating a massively scalable payment solution with a multi-currency wallet, and digital + biometric identity.

Everest provides its users a universal identity and consequently access to all services to sustain life. The identity network is decentralized and autonomous and allows users to protect their identity data across platforms like licenses, voting Ids, and biometric ids that is cryptographically secured at the granular level. Creating global access to financial services and allowing total financial inclusion enables Everest to unlock the huge economy of the emerging markets. People across the world will be empowered and have more economic opportunities.

How Does Everest Work?

EverID has created a universal digital identity network that will raise the whole of humanity to the global market, providing access to a robust range of services to improve livelihood and promote economic development.

The identity network will be an autonomous, non-supportable, decentralized network, owned by no one, functioning forever and incorporating the principles of identification for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 into its software.

It gives individuals the tools to manage and protect their own identity data through a decentralized identity platform and a value transfer solution based on blockchain technology.

Multiple types of biometric information for each identity are recorded and stored in the identity network. Legacy identity documents, including national identity cards, driver’s licenses, passports, voter’s identity cards, etc. are recorded, as well as third-party certificates by cryptographically signing these confirmations of claims.

If a person does not have the technology, an agent system allows them to be enrolled via the EverID Agent DApp. Public Access Devices (PADs) are used for EverID validation, use and update. PADs use a Software Development Kit (SDK) to add identity validation to devices for banking, government services, healthcare and more. The Bridge service allows a user to securely access his data and use it on another device that he does not own.
