Summary
Source

Talao Wallet is a Self-Sovereign Identity solution launched in 2021 that enables users to manage their digital identity and verifiable credentials. Built on the Tezos blockchain and powered by the Spruce Credible open-source SDK, the wallet implements several key technical standards including W3C Verifiable Credentials, W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), and OpenID Connect protocols.

The wallet's core technical features include support for multiple DID methods (did:key, did:web, did:ion, did:hedera, did:tz, did:pkh, did:ebsi), various credential formats (JSON-LD, JWT, SD-JWT), and integration with the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI). All personal data is stored locally on users' devices, with the blockchain only used for identifier registration. The solution is open-source under an Apache-2 license and has achieved EBSI-V3 conformance for alignment with European digital identity standards.

Notable adoption includes integration with Docaposte's ID360 for identity verification and participation in the Blockchain France Alliance alongside major French industrial companies. The wallet has surpassed 20,000 downloads across its various implementations, including white-labeled versions for enterprise clients. Key use cases include:

  • Professional credential verification
  • Age verification
  • Educational qualification validation
  • Product authenticity tracking

    Implementation examples include workforce identity management and compliance with European digital identity regulations

Talao’s solution follows the European self-sovereign identity framework (ESSIF) recommendations to comply with the future EU Digital Identity toolbox. It is based on the Self Sovereign Identity model (SSI) and W3C standards for Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identity (DID). It is powered by the Spruce Credible open source SDK, the first SSI wallet to use the Tezos blockchain as a register for its identifiers (DID). Credible uses an implementation of the Presentation Request Specifications of the W3C, which allows the exchange of credentials between SSIs.
