The Solana Foundation has launched the Solana Attestation Service (SAS). This is a decentralized identity verification protocol designed to simplify compliance and enhance trust across the network.

Announced on May 23, the tool allows applications to verify off-chain data, such as Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and user accreditation. This is done without directly handling the user's sensitive information.

Solana launches an identity layer amid increasing global interest in digital currencies.

The Solana Foundation stated that SAS provides cryptographically signed and reusable credentials that trusted parties can issue. Once verified, users can seamlessly interact with multiple platforms without repeating onboarding or verification steps.
