# Digital identity

The digital identity of Ready Player One is unique, and the identity module will be built into the protocol, and an application will be developed to support it. Users have a definite self-sovereign identity, i.e. users have full control over their identity, which means there is no need to rely on a central entity or third party for authentication. Users have truly self-sovereign identities that can be created, signed, verified, and whoever interacts with them can prove their identity. Furthermore, users of these self-sovereign digital identities are able to selectively disclose their information. Digital identities are an integral part of the virtual world. As such, digital identities can take either form, such as individuals or value intermediaries (institutions and entities). Therefore, individuals can have different digital identities in different places , such as workplace identities and family identities , but these are ultimately based on the user's real identity.

 

Users can build their reputation in Metaverse through digital identities, which will also improve the way we exchange value. It can achieve this through digital signatures, verification requirements and transactions, and gradually establish a reputation foundation that can be checked and verified by other digital identities and value intermediaries in the market. For some centralized entities, if their servers crash, the identity and reputation they have built over the years is lost forever. Metaverse is different, users' digital identities and their reputations will be protected by the blockchain.
