Solana Attestation Service (SAS) has been launched on the Solana mainnet by Solana Identity Group and the Solana Foundation to enable compliance, access control, and reputation systems in the ecosystem.
SAS provides a neutral and permissionless attestation layer, allowing for better user experience and programmable identity across Solana. This move aims to streamline compliance and reduce operational overhead within the growing capital market on Solana.
The deployment of SAS is significant as it offers secure, composable, and private features for various blockchain use cases, including Gaming, DeFi, Financial Services, and more. It eliminates the need for centralized gatekeepers and provides portable credentials for users.
Several projects, such as Solid, Solana ID, Trusta Labs, Civic, and Wecan, have already started building with SAS, marking the interest and adoption of this Solana Identity Group project within the ecosystem.
