, a decentralized authentication protocol linking off-chain data to wallets, boosting trust in Web3.){kind=link}
On May 24th, Solana officially launched the Solana Attestation Service (SAS), a groundbreaking open-source and permissionless protocol designed to serve as a trust layer for the evolving Internet capital markets.
Announced via Solana’s official X platform, SAS provides a secure method for verifying the authenticity of off-chain data and linking it to any Solana wallet.
The new development marks a significant advancement in digital identity infrastructure.
Also positioning Solana as a leader in trust-based protocols for decentralized finance, tokenized assets, and broader blockchain applications.
By aiming to become a universal authentication standard, SAS addresses one of the most critical challenges in Web3: how to establish trust without compromising privacy.
Bridging Off-Chain Identity With On-Chain Activity
The core utility of SAS lies in its ability to seamlessly connect off-chain personal data, such as KYC credentials, investor verification, and digital reputation, with on-chain wallets.
The development enables a wide range of decentralized applications to authenticate user identities, assess investor qualifications, or validate reputations, all without exposing sensitive data.
SAS uses cryptographic signature verification to maintain privacy and ensure data security, allowing users to “attest once and verify anywhere.”
The approach dramatically reduces friction for users and developers alike, while enhancing compliance capabilities in regulated blockchain environments, such as token sales and decentralized finance platforms.

Backed by a Broad Coalition of Ecosystem Partners
The Solana Attestation Service is launching with robust support from a wide network of ecosystem partners.
The partners include Civic Key, Trusta Labs, Solana Identity, Range Security, Exo Solana, Polyflow PayFi, weRoam, Sumsub, and RNS Global.
These organizations are key players in decentralized identity, compliance, and privacy-tech, and their collaboration suggests strong momentum behind the protocol’s adoption.
The development community can easily integrate SAS into their applications through a streamlined SDK, empowering them to build trust-enhanced platforms with minimal technical overhead.
The interoperability offers a foundation for scaling identity-linked services across Solana’s vast and growing blockchain ecosystem.

A Step Toward a More Trustworthy, Scalable Web3 Future
SAS represents a pivotal step toward building a safer, more trustworthy Web3.
As blockchain adoption expands into mainstream use cases, the need for secure, privacy-respecting identity systems has become more urgent.
Solana’s introduction of SAS addresses this by creating an infrastructure where identity and reputation can be authenticated without centralized intermediaries.
The protocol’s open and permissionless design ensures that it can evolve with the needs of developers and users alike.
Also helping Solana’s ecosystem mature into a full-fledged platform for Internet capital markets.
With its emphasis on both usability and security, SAS sets a new benchmark for decentralized authentication standards.
