The official bsv-blockchain/identity repository now presents BSV Unified Identity as a draft standards proposal and supporting paper set for a unified identity layer on BSV Blockchain. The repository describes the goal as private, verifiable, and unlinkable KYC, where a holder can prove that they meet a relying party’s requirement without revealing their underlying identity and while presenting a different identifier to each service. (GitHub)

The repository is careful about its status: it labels the work as a v0.1 draft for discussion and says it is not yet a ratified BRC or eIDAS profile. Its model references DID:BSV, W3C Verifiable Credentials, OpenID4VP/SIOP, ISO/IEC 18013-5, BRC-42/43, BRC-103, BRC-52/53, SD-JWT VC, and zero-knowledge tooling. It also states limitations, including that the free tier is bootstrap-grade, unlinkability is conditional, and heavier zero-knowledge proofs remain on the roadmap. (GitHub)

BSV TIMES read:
Identity is not only a compliance topic; it is part of digital infrastructure. If BSV Blockchain is to support business systems, public-sector applications, age or jurisdiction checks, regulated services, and credential-based access, identity must be verifiable without turning every interaction into public personal disclosure. This proposal is still early, but it points toward the privacy-and-verification layer that practical applications will need.
