Onyx ID

Manage your profile, permissions, verification, and connected apps.

Onyx ID is your trusted identity inside Onyx.

Use it to control how you appear, which apps receive access, what verification results you share, how trust applies to sensitive actions, and how account recovery stays protected.

The point is control. You should be able to use Onyx services and approved apps without exposing more identity than the action requires.

Your Profile

Your profile is how people and services recognize you in Onyx.

It uses a display name, handle, avatar, bio, status, public profile path, selected public content, and approved links.

You decide what belongs in public views, contact views, community contexts, and connected app access.

Profile Visibility

Profile visibility is not all-or-nothing.

Public visitors may see public profile details. Contacts may see contact context. Communities may see roles or community-specific profile details. Connected apps receive only approved fields and approved assertions.

That means your identity can be useful without becoming a public data export.

Connected Apps

Connected apps request scoped access through Onyx ID.

An app may request profile fields, handle access, trust assertions, communication permissions, community permissions, or identity-linked app access. You can approve, deny, review, or revoke access.

Approval should be specific. A connected app receives only the fields, permissions, and assertions tied to the feature you approved.

Permissions

Permissions define what a connected app can do.

A permission can be requested, granted, limited, expired, revoked, or denied. If a permission expires or you revoke it, the app must stop using that Onyx-controlled access.

Some permissions can require stronger trust, verification, or regional eligibility before they work.

Trust And Verification

Onyx ID helps services decide whether an account is eligible for sensitive actions.

Trust and verification can affect wallet actions, card issuance, payment settlement, number eligibility, connected app assertions, account recovery, regulated services, and organization access.

Trust state is not a social ranking. It is an eligibility signal for actions that need stronger assurance.

Regulated Verification

Some actions require regulated identity checks.

Onyx requests those checks only when the action requires stronger identity, age, jurisdiction, payment, telecom, fraud, organization, or recovery assurance. After review, the account receives a result such as completed, pending, refresh required, failed, expired, or unavailable.

Connected apps receive only approved verification assertions, not raw documents, private evidence, or provider records.

Attestation-Backed Trust

Onyx ID can use attestation-backed trust references for supported activation and eligibility events.

Those references help approved services confirm that an account state, verification result, or connected-service eligibility exists without exposing raw verification material. Normal users should not need to understand schemas, transactions, signatures, or implementation details to use Onyx ID.

The customer language stays simple: identity active, verification completed, trusted account, eligible service access, connected app authorized.

Wallet Connection

Wallets can link to Onyx ID as optional capabilities.

Wallet linkage can support wallet sign-in, payment actions, wallet-linked trust signals, and supported authentication. A wallet connection does not automatically verify your identity and does not replace Onyx ID.

Sessions And Recovery

Onyx ID helps protect account access across devices and sessions.

It manages linked devices, session visibility, recovery posture, trusted restoration, and authentication state. Recovery can temporarily limit sensitive actions until ownership and verification are confirmed again.

Privacy And Consent

Onyx ID is built around permissioned identity access.

Connected apps receive only approved profile fields, approved assertions, approved verification states, and approved communication permissions. They should not receive raw verification records, unrestricted account access, unrelated wallet activity, unrelated payment history, unrelated chat history, or private verification evidence.

Your identity should stay useful without becoming overexposed.
