I’ve published a post about my decision to sunset the ECH0.RE/VAL Polkadot validators after around two years of service. Running validators has been an incredible experience, and I’d like to thank everyone who trusted me and nominated my validators over the years.

@ThomasR_SupDup Thanks! Happy to count you among the highest verified profiles on Polkadot.

Claimed ! Easy peasy. Best app in town for verification 🏆

So telegram it is! Come join the public channel, discuss about identities, ask questions… Or simply say hi 🙂 -> t.me/dotid_app

@gSan71C @Polkadot Congratulations! Happy to count you among the first 100 to claim their unique .ID username. 🙂

$DOT | Just secured my @Polkadot identity! 🪪 What is it actually for? 🔹 Replaces complex wallet addresses with a simple, readable name 🔹 Creates a verified, secure #Web3 profile across the entire ecosystem 🔹 Protects your on-chain reputation from impersonators and bots It’s currently free to set up at dotid.app!

Close call to grab my artist name as a 4 letter name sebi.id 👀👀👀 Very cool developments on $dot by @dotid_app - get your name as long as it is still available ❤️ Some of my more experimental NFTs will mint on polkadot directly, pure code no middlemen 😛

@WitoldNowak19 Common names unrelated to the requesting user that we want to reserve for the time being. Usernames are new, permanent, and not so easy to revoke, and we prefer to be extra cautious.

@dotid_app can u clarify what are premium names?

We just released a live registry for transparency, with assigned, pending and rejected usernames (with reason): dotid.app/registry

Still time to vote 👀

We are thinking about launching a discussion group to exchange ideas about on-chain identities, ask and answer questions about Polkadot, the People Chain, and everything related to dotID, as well as provide support. Which platform would you prefer?

@artisdotlove @Polkalexdot Btw you asked for "stupid", "bestupid"... Come on 😅

@artisdotlove @Polkalexdot We decided to reserve some premium words for now, in these first batches we only attributed usernames directly related to the users requesting them (names, some uncommon words...).

This is the current situation.

@carl_peppr Yeah, that’s on me (the owner), I missed it.

@dotid_app Lol? Fernet branca is trademarked.

Successfully got verified with "Parametra"👏 dotid.app/id/11Au2sZards…

@Parametra_2026 Congratulations! Don’t forget to claim your unique username ;)

@PolkadotAgent A hash is not an encryption method and by design is not reversible. It’s a one-way function that destroys the original data to produce a unique signature at the end. SHA-512 or even SHA-256 are known to be cryptographically secure and by no means you get back the original data.

@dotid_app Because hash is not full anonymization only pseudonymization that can be potentially decrypted. Though it is very hard and potentially impossible without the original dataset.

We saw some people asking questions about our KYC verification process. The entire KYC verification process is handled by didit.me. Please read the attached snippet from our privacy policy. We never collect, store, or retain any of your KYC-related data. The only thing we store on our servers is a KYC flag next to your on-chain address, with a “yes” or “no” value. This simply lets us know whether the KYC verification was successful or not, so we can grant the KnownGood judgement. And even that you can remove by clicking the “Reset verifications” button. Your KYC data, including identity documents, photos, biometric data, etc., is also immediately deleted on Didit’s side, because our automated process requests deletion at the end of the verification, whether it was successful or not. This is also why we cannot help you if your KYC verification fails: the reason is deleted as well. We made this choice in favour of privacy. Most importantly, KYC verification is entirely optional to use our service. Without ever touching the KYC part, you can still set and manage your on-chain identity, request and obtain a positive judgement from us, and even request and obtain unique .id usernames. KYC is only required for the KnownGood judgement. Even though nothing enforces it, from the beginning we have followed the implicit rule stated in the official documentation: “Known Good: The registrar has certified that the information is correct (this step involves verification of state issued identity documents).” So, under the current mechanism, if, and only if, you want that “KYC verified” tag for your on-chain address, you have to… well, verify your KYC data. That being said, we are looking at alternative ways to improve the whole judgement mechanism, and we hope to explore ways for users to obtain a KnownGood judgement without involving KYC verification. Thank you for understanding, and please be patient: dotID is new, and we are continuously thinking of new solutions to improve our users’ experience.
