Private Identity
Most people only know one kind of identity — government-issued KYC (know your customer).
It works for banks, apps, and services, but it is weak and easily revoked. This is NOT actually a real lawful identity. This is usually just a record on someone else's database. This is just your birth certificate name and address. You did not create this, it was given to you. In ENTIFY this is locked away inside your wallet as a non-transferrable NFT and remains hidden - now impossible to revoke. This is used to create zero-knowledge proofs whenever required. This becomes your Private Identity.
This is the entry level identity on the ENTIFY Network. It grants you access to the network, private communication, private banking and use of the ENTOKEN.
KYC = Basic Access

Sovereign Identity
Sovereign Identity is different. Most people have never even heard of this. This can be thought of as a "real identity". It requires a deeper understanding of law to create this.
It goes back to ancient times when we used paperwork, witnessing, autographs, seals and heraldry. But these ancient systems are still valid today. In fact they are the key to creating your own independence today. This identity document, if created properly, is far more powerful than just KYC and this unlocks greater access to the network. For example asset tokenisation and decentralised governance. But more than that, a real sovereign identity has power in the real world, It can protect you in court and allow you to respond with legal power to any infringement upon your intrinsic rights.

Progress from Private to Sovereign
For users who wish to advance beyond basic access, ENTIFY offers a full pathway to lawful sovereignty. Sovereign identity cannot be autogenerated or copy-pasted. Each user must create their own document. They must create their own affidavit of truth, their own dominion, and their own private estate. This requires an in depth knowledge of law and ENTIFY offers the education required to do this through our partner The Sovereign Project. (See more about the Sovereign Project on our partners page). This unlocks responsibilities and capabilities not available to normal users:
- tokenising real assets using allodial title
- participating in decentralised governance
- acting as a validator or juror
- issuing lawful notices, claims, and contracts
- holding your own jurisdictional capacity
Only sovereign identities can govern the network.
Three Sovereign Stages (Checkmarks)
Users who wish to go beyond KYC can progress through three sovereign stages. These are not “badges” — they represent real lawful capacity.
1. Affidavit Stage — Red Checkmark
You create your own private affidavit claiming your living status and unique identity.
2. Dominion Stage — Blue Checkmark
You create the structure that defines your capacity to act privately and lawfully.
3. Private Estate Stage — Purple Checkmark
You establish your full sovereign authority and the lawful foundation for:
- asset tokenisation
- private contracts
- private banking at the highest level
- participation in governance
Only purple-tier sovereigns may validate, arbitrate, or govern the network.
Stored in the ENTICARD
Whether you begin with KYC or progress to sovereignty,
your identity is never stored on a server or cloud.
It is:
- generated offline
- stored offline
- cryptographically sealed inside the ENTICARD
- protected by post-quantum signatures
- activated only through the ENTIFONE cryptographic smartphone
ENTICARD is the world’s first secure offline identity module, granting:
- device activation
- wallet access
- signature authority
- account recovery
- sovereign authentication
Your identity exists only in your possession.
Conscious Biometric Autograph Seal
At the sovereign identity level every important action in ENTIFY is authorised through your conscious biometric autograph. This is not a passive fingerprint or facial scan. It is a deliberate, intentional act — a digital autograph that:
- proves your conscious awareness
- demonstrates your intention
- seals your identity documents
- activates your sovereign identity
- becomes the most advanced cryptographic signature
To ensure perfect reliability, the ENTIFONE includes a training module where you master the autograph pattern that becomes your personal biometric key. You don’t just own your identity — you become the cryptography. This is your master level trust engine.
Why Sovereign Identity Matters
The ENTIFY system is built for:
- decentralised governance
- lawful asset management
- living authority
- real-world accountability
- global infrastructure that cannot be censored or revoked
KYC alone cannot give:
- allodial title
- jurisdictional competence
- private contracting power
- lawful authority
- governance capacity
Sovereign identity provides these.
This is why ENTIFY offers a dual-path identity system:
- KYC = access to private services
- Sovereignty = authority within a decentralised jurisdiction
