What Dentity does

Dentity Partners, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based digital identity infrastructure company founded in 2021 that provides a reusable, consumer-held identity platform built on open standards including W3C Verifiable Credentials, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), and OpenID for Verifiable Credentials. The platform serves three primary customer segments: enterprises requiring KYC/AML compliance and identity verification APIs, consumers seeking to verify and share their identity peer-to-peer, and — most recently — AI agents requiring verifiable identity and delegated authority from verified humans. Core products include Reusable Identity (verify once, reuse everywhere), KYC & Onboarding (composable document checks, liveness, and AML via API), Proof of Personhood (biometric bot/deepfake resistance), Verifiable Credentials & Wallets (W3C-standard issuance with white-label wallet SDKs), and Agentic Identity (scoped, revocable identity for autonomous AI agents). Supporting infrastructure includes the patent-pending DIAL system categorizing identity into 5 NIST-aligned attribute levels, the Enterprise Portal for managing verification flows, and integrations with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Ethereum Name Service.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth (free consumer app with self-serve onboarding) and enterprise field sales. Revenue is generated through enterprise subscriptions at $2,500/month plus variable per-verification fees, while the consumer tier remains free — a freemium model where end users do not pay and enterprises fund the platform. In December 2024, Dentity acquired Trinsic's decentralized identity assets, gaining access to Trinsic's Identity Acceptance Network with 100 million consumers and the industry's most advanced decentralized identity infrastructure. Dentity reports 5M+ verifiable credentials issued, 50M+ credentials processed, 5,000+ builders on the platform, 100+ enterprise adopters, and coverage across 200+ countries with 15,000+ supported government ID types. The company maintains a deliberately lean operating profile with 1-10 employees, founder-led by CEO Jeff Schwartz.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise Subscription: Monthly subscription fee grants access to identity verification platform, APIs, administrative dashboards, analytics, reporting tools, priority support, account management, and platform updates. $2,500 USD per month, billed in arrears on the last calendar day of each month.
2. Per-Verification Fees: Variable per-verification charges based on verification type, volume, and usage tier. Billed monthly in arrears. Separate from subscription fee, recognized when verification services are performed.
3. Consumer Free Tier: Free for consumers to verify identity and request verifications from others. Dentity charges enterprises to use technology, making it free for end consumers. Potential future paid add-ons.

Core offering

Dentity operates a decentralized identity infrastructure platform that enables enterprises to issue, hold, and verify W3C-standard verifiable credentials without storing consumer PII. The offering combines a free consumer identity verification app with an enterprise API product for KYC, proof of personhood, document verification, AML screening, and reusable identity, plus an Agentic Identity framework for autonomous AI agents. The platform is built on W3C Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, and OpenID for VCs, and includes the patent-pending DIAL five-level identity attribute framework.

Product overview

Dentity is an identity infrastructure platform offering a unified portfolio of products for enterprises, consumers, and AI agents. The core platform consists of Reusable Identity (self-owned consumer identity verified once and reused everywhere), KYC & Onboarding (enterprise API for document verification, liveness, and AML), Proof of Personhood (bot/deepfake-resistant biometric verification), and Verifiable Credentials & Wallets (W3C VC issuance with white-label wallet). Agentic Identity provides verifiable identity and delegated authority for AI agents. Supporting the core products are the Enterprise Portal (admin dashboard for managing flows and credentials) and DIAL (a 5-level identity attribute framework). The Dentity Verified program enables consumers to create portable public verified profiles. All products are built on open standards (W3C Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, OpenID for VCs) with no consumer PII storage.

• Agentic Identity: Identity framework for AI agents providing verifiable identity and scoped, delegated authority for autonomous agents acting on behalf of people and businesses.
• DIAL (Digital Identity Attribute Levels)

Products and services

• Reusable Identity A self-owned, consumer-held identity product that allows users to verify once and reuse their verified credentials across every service, eliminating redundant verification checks and reducing onboarding drop-off. Designed for consumers who want portable identity and for enterprises that want to lower KYC costs as trust compounds.
• KYC & Onboarding An enterprise API product for compliant identity verification combining document checks, 3D liveness, selfie matching, and AML screening as composable verification scopes configurable in one API call. Built for fintech, financial services, and any regulated enterprise that needs KYC/AML compliance.
• Proof of Personhood A verification service using on-device biometric liveness detection to distinguish unique, real people from AI-driven impersonators and bots, with duplicate account detection without storing raw biometrics centrally. Designed for platforms needing to verify one-person-one-account at scale while resisting synthetic IDs and deepfakes.
• Verifiable Credentials & Wallets A W3C Verifiable Credentials issuance platform with white-label wallet and issuer SDK capabilities, enabling selective disclosure so users share only necessary attributes with full cryptographic proof. Built for issuers (banks, governments, enterprises) and holders needing portable, tamper-proof credentials.
• Agentic Identity An identity framework for AI agents providing verifiable identity and scoped, revocable authority delegated by verified humans. Enables trust establishment for autonomous agents acting on behalf of people and businesses, with cryptographic policies, time-limited permissions, and instant revocation.
