Onyx ID

How Onyx ID works as trusted portable identity across Onyx products and connected apps.

Onyx ID

Onyx ID is trusted portable identity for Onyx products and connected apps.

It gives you one identity with portable trust, controlled profile projection, consented app access, and continuity across communication, communities, services, and apps that integrate Onyx Connect.

The product promise is simple:

  • one identity
  • portable trust
  • controlled projection
  • consented access
  • continuity across apps, communities, and communication surfaces

You should feel: "I control how I appear and what I grant access to."

Public profile

Your public profile is the public face of your Onyx ID across the web.

It can show your handle, display identity, avatar, bio, status, selected content, links, calm trust context, and entry points into approved Onyx communities, services, or connected apps. It is more than a business card, but it is not a full social feed.

You control what appears publicly and what remains private.

Visibility and trust

Onyx ID uses simple trust states to help people and apps understand context without exposing sensitive details.

Verification is layered. It can include account posture, device continuity, recovery posture, relationship context, organization or service review, and regulated verification where a specific service requires it.

Wallet connection does not equal identity verification. Regulated verification does not become a public badge by default.

Connected apps

Apps that integrate Onyx Connect can request scoped access to your Onyx ID.

An app may ask for:

  • profile projection
  • handle access
  • trust-state context
  • communication reach
  • community access where authorized
  • scoped verification assertions for eligible actions

Every request must be explicit, permissioned, visible, and revocable. Apps do not receive unrestricted identity access, raw regulated-verification data, private wallet details, or private session/device state.

Wallets

Wallets can attach to an Onyx ID.

A wallet may be used as an optional sign-in factor, payment/action capability, or trust signal. It is not required for Onyx ID to be useful, and it is not the center of the identity model.

Recovery and continuity

Onyx ID is designed for continuity across devices and products. Account security, sessions, recovery posture, and connected-app permissions should remain visible and controllable from Onyx ID settings as those surfaces mature.
