SILT (Self-Actualised Identity Layer Tool) is a decentralised identity framework that enables individuals to assert lawful, self-determined identity across digital and physical domains without reliance on state-issued documents. Rooted in common law, merchant law, and indigenous knowledge systems, SILT encodes identity, agency, and rights into verifiable digital claim-based certifications and smart contracts. By empowering users with cryptographically secured, legally grounded self-identification, SILT protects against surveillance, censorship, and exclusion in the digital age. SILT interrogates the status of the holder of the ID, and how this status integrates with all other DID, SSI and digital ID projects.
