BrightID is a social identity network that allows people to prove to applications that they aren’t using multiple accounts. It solves the unique identity problem through the creation and analysis of a social graph. BrightID is a public good that exists for the benefit of humanity. It is a nonintrusive, decentralized, open-source technology seeking to reform identity verification and thus lay the groundwork for a free and democratic society.

Interfaces to BrightID (such as the mobile app) should give feedback to users that let them know when their actions help real people or when they put the system at risk of falsely verifying sybils.

Actions a user takes in BrightID are recorded in an action log viewable in the mobile app. Actions can have achievements attached to them.
