EthOs ID

Ethos ID is an identity infrastructure that combines Ethereum Name Service (ENS) with W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to provide trustable, portable, and resilient on-chain identity.

Today, anyone can add arbitrary text records to ENS profiles, but these records are not verifiable. Ethos ID solves this by issuing country-verified ENS subnames (e.g., alice.india.eth) backed by cryptographic credentials. These credentials are stored in ENS records and can be resolved and verified across any EVM chain.

✨ Key Features

Country-verified ENS Subnames – Names issued only after successful proof of nationality.

Portable Verifiable Credentials – Credentials tied to ENS and usable across chains.

Resilient Identity – Recovery supported even if ENS expires or the wallet rotates.

Privacy-Preserving – Only hashes and pointers stored on-chain, never personal data.

Cross-Chain Verification – Works out-of-the-box for wallets, DAOs, dapps, and contracts.

Ethos ID combines ENS subnames, Self proofs, and W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to create verifiable on-chain identity.

Users verify nationality via Self, and our VerificationHub contract validates the proof.

A SubnameRegistrar (ENS NameWrapper) mints *.country.eth only after verification.

A VC Issuer generates a W3C VC with a composite DID (did:ens:<name>#<address>#<nullifier>), pinned in ENS records.

Apps resolve ENS → fetch VC → verify issuer signature, expiry, and revocation across any chain.

Hacky bit: repurposing ENS text records as verifiable pointers + using a Self nullifier for super-recovery even if ENS or wallet expires.
