Getting Started

Atala PRISM is a toolset that provides infrastructure for decentralized identity. It is a layer-2 blockchain solution that leverages the Cardano blockchain as a verifiable data registry (VDR). PRISM's roots are in self-sovereign identity (SSI), which empowers users to control their identity and personal information, including selectively disclosing with whom to share their data using asymmetric cryptography.
