Sumsub, the crypto industry’s leading compliance and fraud prevention platform, announced it has joined the idOS Consortium, making a strategic contribution to become a member of the idOS Association Governance Committee.
Sumsub and idOS have already been working together in production for several months. Becoming an active governance member of idOS builds on Sumsub’s broader work on reusable identity, both off-chain and on-chain.
Over the past year, Sumsub has rolled out on-chain attestation integrations across Solana (via the Solana Attestation Service), Linea (via the Verax attestation protocol) and, most recently, Chainlink’s ACE Cross-Chain Identity framework. Joining the idOS Consortium extends that work into the governance layer of decentralized identity infrastructure.
KYC re-usability requires evolving technical and regulatory rails in parallel, without compromising on privacy or security. As on-chain finance grows, repeated KYC checks have become a significant bottleneck for users onboarding into multiple regulated services within the same application, such as crypto wallets that combine on-ramps, bank accounts, and other financial modules. Reusable identity allows users to verify once and reuse that verification across services, reducing onboarding friction for users and acquisition costs for businesses.
“We’ve spent the past year proving that verified identity can travel with the user instead of being re-collected at every door, both off-chain and on-chain,” said Ilya Brovin, Chief Growth Officer at Sumsub. “Joining forces with idOS lets us go further in this journey, setting up re-usability rails that match the compliance and privacy needs of web3’s largest regulated players – which is exactly the challenge that we need to tackle today to be able to grow the whole market.”
idOS is a provider-agnostic identity infrastructure layer that integrates with a range of verification providers. As a member of the idOS Consortium, Sumsub will contribute to the development of idOS’s open-source tech stack alongside other Consortium members.
“Re-usable KYC isn’t just an engineering problem – it lives at the intersection of cryptography, compliance, and privacy, and you only solve it by moving all three forward at once,” added Lluis Bardet, Co-Founder, idOS. “That’s the work idOS exists to do, and working together with a partner like Sumsub brings us much closer to achieving it.”
