Your identity is not your own.
In the digital world, you are a tenant. You rent your identity from platforms that can revoke it, censor it, or exploit your data at will. This is the era of Identity Renting.
Platform Identity
Your access to countless services is tied to a single corporate account, creating a centralized point of failure and control.
State Identity
Your national identity is siloed within government databases, difficult to use across borders and inefficient to verify digitally.
Civis: The Sovereign Self
RedQ introduces Civis, a self-sovereign, multi-faceted digital being. It is not an account you are given, but a presence you own.
You don't ask for an identity, you declare it.
You don't prove by showing, you prove by knowing.
In the Polis, trust is earned, not given.
A permissionless system does not mean a trustless one. Civis provides the framework for a transparent, verifiable reputation market, forged through on-chain actions and community attestations.
Anonymous Civis
Anyone can create a Civis ID, permissionlessly. This is the foundation of an open digital society, guaranteeing access for all.
Attested Civis
Reputation is built through verifiable attestations from other Civis or Ius authorities, linking your digital presence to real-world achievements or social capital.
Authoritative Civis
Entities recognized by the Polis, such as the RedQ Foundation or major ecosystem partners, can achieve authoritative status, becoming trusted issuers of rights (Ius).
