# Welcome to Self

Self is a privacy-first, open-source identity protocol built on zero-knowledge proofs. It lets developers verify real-world identity attributes (age, nationality, sanctions status, proof-of-human) without exposing personal data.

Self bridges the gap between real-world identity and on-chain activity. Users verify once with the Self app, then selectively disclose attributes across any application that integrates the protocol.

[**Self Enterprise**](/get-started/what-is-self-enterprise.md) is the managed way to use it: configure a flow in the dashboard, call the SDK, and get a signed result back.

**New here?** Go from zero to a verified user in ten minutes with the [**Quickstart**](/get-started/quickstart.md).
