What is a Main Name?

Welcome to Main
What if there was a single, easy-to-remember ID that you could use both in real-life and online to share and protect all of your personal information?
The concept of Self-Sovereign Identity is no longer hypothetical. It’s real, and it’s on the horizon. With the help of blockchain and decentralization technologies, we can now put ownership and control of identity and personal data in the hands of the user.
However, blockchain today is much like the internet of the early ’90s. It wasn’t until the Web Browser was invented that the internet was truly adopted by the masses; UX being the key element taking the internet mainstream. Similarly, blockchain is a groundbreaking technology with the promise to change almost every aspect of our lives, but no vessel to take it to the masses. We intend for Main to be that vessel, the technology bridge that will take this set of revolutionary technologies to the people.
Our vision for Identity here at Main in the coming decade is to create a sovereign ID with which you can share information with family & friends; use as your student ID; as your corporate identity; as your verified driver’s license; as your verified social security; one that will become your single sign-on to all systems both online and offline. You own it and you control it — not an enterprise or government-controlled entity. No one else has access to it. It is your sovereign ID.
This. Is. You.
