Each year we look back at what the teams achieved and 2023 is set to be another exciting year for?Nuggets?and our partners!

We’ve been busy enabling verified self-sovereign decentralized identity and protecting the privacy and security of individuals and businesses worldwide and we’re excited to share what we’ve achieved in 2022.

Here goes…

Nuggets becomes the only decentralized identity to be certified as a trusted identity

We became the only verified self-sovereign decentralized identity to be certified against the?UK Government’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework?(DIATF), from the?Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Following months of thorough review and assessment of our technology, processes, and systems,?Nuggets?has been recognised for its secure and trusted identity platform. We’re now a certified?Digital Identity Service Provider?of digital identity including Right to Work, Right to Rent, and DBS.

Not only that,?Nuggets?is the only reusable, interoperable decentralized identity for Web2 and Web3 that has delivered the highest confidence identity. No other decentralized self-sovereign identity has received this accreditation!

Government’s Digital Marketplace

We were awarded the Government’s Digital Marketplace’s?G-Cloud 13?Framework for the second time!

And we were awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service?Digital Outcomes and Specialists 6?Framework.

We’re excited to be working with the public sector to eradicate fraud, and protect privacy and security, by enabling our award-winning and patented verified self-sovereign decentralized identity wallet.

We killed it in Partnerships and here’s some of the highlights!

We launched?Nuggets?for DeFi which is the only way to comply with BSA & FATF — KYC, AML without compromising DeFi.

How?

Using SSI, Auditable nuggets, ZKPs, peer DIDs, and verifiable credentials whilst creating a frictionless user experience.
