Different people know different things about us, and that’s completely normal. Friends, colleagues, employers, institutions and the services we use all meet us in different contexts. We don’t give every one of them the same access to our lives.
Something can be perfectly appropriate to share in one situation and completely out of place in another.
Online, those boundaries are easier to lose.
The same email, phone number, wallet address or persistent identifier can connect activity that happened in completely different parts of your life.
Digital identity now has to solve both aspects of that problem: continuity when we need it, without making everything automatically linkable.
Inside SourceLess, 𝐒𝐓𝐑.𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 is a human-readable identity recorded on-chain, purchased once and owned for life, and used across connected services. 𝐙𝐊𝟏𝟑 is being developed so that using the same identity doesn’t have to mean revealing the same information every time — ownership or certain attributes can be verified without exposing the information underneath.
You can change mobile providers and keep your phone number.
Online, switching services can still mean starting over. You might be able to download some of your data, but your history, settings, connections or identity can remain tied to the service you’re leaving.
Europe has been pushing against that kind of lock-in for years. GDPR gives people the right to transfer certain personal data, while the EU Data Act requires providers to remove barriers to switching.
Inside SourceLess, an STR.Domain is purchased once and owned for life. The same identity can be used across connected services instead of creating a new one each time. It already works with StrTalk and is being connected to finance, AI, the browser and other services.
More parts of our digital life now require some form of verification including age, identity, eligibility and access.
But proving one thing about yourself doesn’t have to mean handing over all your other personal data.
The European Commission says its new age-verification solution is designed to let someone prove they’re over 18 without revealing their exact age, identity or other personal details to a platform. The system is expected to rollout across EU countries by the end of 2026.
Digital identity can work the same way, revealing what’s needed and keeping the rest private.
𝐒𝐓𝐑.𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 gives you a human-readable identity recorded on-chain, purchased once and owned for life.
It already connects to other services within SourceLess, including 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 for private messaging. And as the ecosystem grows, the same STR.Domain is being built into finance, wallets, AI and more.
