Welcome to Self

# 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](/docs/self-enterprise/get-started/what-is-self-enterprise/)** is the managed way to use it: configure a flow in the dashboard, call the SDK, and get a signed result back. ## The four workspaces Every verification starts by picking one of four workspaces in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.self.xyz). Each answers one question about your user: | Workspace | The question it answers | Typical use | | --- | --- | --- | | **[Pre-KYC](/docs/self-enterprise/workspaces/pre-kyc/)** | "Who is this user?" (genuine document, age, country rules, OFAC, optional data reveals) | Onboarding, compliance gating | | **[Age Verification](/docs/self-enterprise/workspaces/age-verification/)** | "Is this user old enough?" (a minimum age, nothing else revealed) | Age-gated content and commerce | | **[Proof of Human](/docs/self-enterprise/workspaces/proof-of-human/)** | "Is this a unique, real person?" (one person, one account) | Sybil resistance, anti-bot, airdrops | | **[Sovereign](/docs/self-enterprise/workspaces/sovereign/)** | "Is this user from a country I allow?" (a nationality allowlist) | Region-restricted access | :::tip **New here?** Go from zero to a verified user in ten minutes with the **[Quickstart](/docs/self-enterprise/get-started/quickstart/)**. ::: ## Start with Self Enterprise <table><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href="/docs/self-enterprise/get-started/what-is-self-enterprise/">What is Self Enterprise</a></strong></td><td>The overview, and who it's for.</td></tr><tr><td><strong><a href="/docs/self-enterprise/get-started/quickstart/">Quickstart</a></strong></td><td>Verified user in ten minutes.</td></tr><tr><td><strong><a href="/docs/self-enterprise/get-started/concepts/">Core concepts</a></strong></td><td>Orgs, flows, sessions, keys, webhooks.</td></tr><tr><td><strong><a href="/docs/self-enterprise/get-started/how-it-works/">How verification works</a></strong></td><td>The zero-knowledge model, in plain language.</td></tr><tr><td><strong><a href="/docs/self-enterprise/sdk/nodejs/">SDK</a></strong></td><td>The <code>@selfxyz/enterprise-sdk</code> client.</td></tr><tr><td><strong><a href="/docs/self-enterprise/webhooks/overview/">Webhooks</a></strong></td><td>Signed events, signature verification, idempotency.</td></tr></tbody></table> ## More from Self * **[Self Connect](/docs/self-connect/introduction-and-overview/)**: map off-chain identifiers (phone, email, social handles) to on-chain addresses. * **[Self Agent ID](/docs/agent-id/overview/)**: on-chain proof-of-human identity for AI agents (ERC-8004). ## Resources * [Dashboard](https://dashboard.self.xyz): sign up and configure your first flow. * [Interactive coverage map](https://map.self.xyz/): which documents and countries are supported. * [Self Builder Group](https://t.me/+d2TGsbkSDmgzODVi): Telegram community for developers. * [Status](https://status.self.xyz): live service status.
