idOS Network presents an open framework that repositions identity as a neutral, programmable layer rather than a centralized asset. The architecture grants users complete ownership over their data vaults, allowing applications to request only the minimal permissions they genuinely need for functionality. Simultaneously, regulators obtain verifiable compliance attestations without requiring the infrastructure to be centralized. This model creates meaningful real-world opportunities where privacy, user control, and regulatory transparency coexist—addressing a fundamental tension in how Web3 platforms balance data sovereignty with institutional oversight.
