Summary

ARGOS ID is a self-sovereign digital identity solution launched in 2022 that focuses on crypto wallet verification and Travel Rule compliance for virtual asset service providers (VASPs). The platform enables users to manage their digital identity information, including verified crypto wallet addresses, KYC documentation, and social login credentials through a Web3-compatible interface.

The system supports multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Klaytn, allowing users to connect various wallet types such as MetaMask, Phantom, and WalletConnect through a one-time KYC process. Key technical features include:

  • Single Sign-On capabilities across multiple services
  • Instant verification through AI-powered document recognition
  • Integration with OAuth protocol for social login
  • Support for multiple blockchain protocols and wallet types
  • User-controlled data sovereignty

Notable implementations include integration with Dove Wallet, an officially registered VASP in Korea under the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (KoFIU), and partnership with Samsung Financial Networks through their startup program. The platform aims to solve compliance challenges around unhosted wallets by providing a standardized way to verify wallet ownership while maintaining user privacy and control over personal data. ARGOS ID has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional KYC requirements and the emerging needs of decentralized finance platforms.
