Everest is a decentralized identity and wallet protocol run by a non-profit foundation governed as a DAO. Every user receives a biometric-verified digital identity and self-custody wallet, with identity data encrypted by default; holders disclose attributes such as age or verification status selectively through zero-knowledge proofs. The protocol runs on EverChain, where the ID token powers access, staking and governance, and validators must stake 400,000 ID.
In decentralized-identity narratives it positions free biometric identity as public infrastructure, with each new identity carrying 0.001 ID for basic access. EverChain uses proof-of-stake-style governance with fee burning, and ecosystem applications span payments, remittances, electronic verification and health data, with the identity doubling as a cross-application login and authorization credential.
