Lighthearted Disclaimer: the team at Profile.io are heads down focused on v1 build so up to launch, this documentation / images / diagrams may not always be completely up to date.
TLDR: Profile.io is your open source web3 profile and payments network where you (or your org) own the data via web3 smart contract accounts.
Profile.io is a programmable verifiable identity network and app/dapp marketplace enabling users and organisations to capitalise on web3 identity assets including soulbound nfts and Verifiable Credentials to verify their proof of personhood and experience and to use the associated encryption keys to unlock tailored experiences.
Verified profiles have access to the profile payment infrastructure, while EOAs can use profile username DNS to pay to known profiles, replacing cumbersome wallet payments.
Users/Orgs collect web3 badges from others to build their public, private and ZK profiles.
Capitalising on Account Abstraction, profile.io is user friendly but powered by latest layer2 technologies including ZK.
Profiles are open source to enable a creative developer ecosystem and UI on platform and integration across web2 and web3. If a user wants our standard profile layout that's cool - but if you want it some other way, that can be arranged within our composable (providing structure) open source framework - e-commerce / creator specific etc.
The app/dapp marketplace and developer toolkit makes use of Badges' programmable encryption keys to offer value and experiences to badge holders and issuer organisations. Out the box dapps include a Farcaster client with tickets, loyalty etc to follow.
