Frequently Asked Questions

A lot of people have questions.  We get it.  Here are the answers to some of yours.


What is Self-sovereignty?

Pretty simple.  Your ID controlled by you – decentralized from any other controlling authority.  XPID allows individuals to manage their verifiable credentials and DIDs (Decentralized identifiers) among the many organizations and loyalty programs they interact with – making their own economy, their own wallet and their own identity work for them – all through a proof of stake / proof of location methodology provided by the XPID ledger. With XPID self-sovereignty, you create your own little country of your loyal, life experiences – or simply your entire identity/wallet all in one place. 

XPID is an efficient market of one’s data for locally-sourced deals and patronage, quantifying loyalty and patronage through the XPID token.  One planet, one species preparing for when currencies tied to borders won’t matter.
