Empe Wallet is a decentralized identity wallet launched in 2023 that implements Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) principles for managing digital credentials and identity data. The wallet leverages several key technologies including blockchain, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, and artificial intelligence to enable privacy-preserving identity management.
The core technical implementation includes support for W3C DID
and Verifiable Credentials
standards, along with protocols like OpenID Connect
, SD-JWT
, OID4VC
, OID4VP
, and SIOPv2
. The wallet is built as a non-custodial solution, meaning users maintain full control of their private keys and identity data. Notable features include:
