cheqd is a blockchain-based network designed to facilitate the creation of robust digital identity systems. Originating as a project focused on enabling self-sovereign identity (SSI), cheqd empowers individuals and organisations to control their own data and identity credentials while ensuring privacy and security. Built on the Cosmos blockchain, cheqd offers a decentralised infrastructure that supports issuance, exchange, and management of interoperable credentials without a centralised authority. One of its distinct characteristics is its emphasis on incentivisation for validator nodes and entities within the identity ecosystem, providing a sustainable economic model. The platform's native token, CHEQ, is utilised for governance, transactions, and staking, reinforcing the network's stability and enabling community participation in decision-making processes.
