BIG ID is a platform enabling users to securely store and manage their data on the BigFile network. It offers the ability to permanently store files in a decentralized and reliable manner.
BIG ID is fully decentralized, as apps built on BigFile store data entirely on-chain. This makes it more secure and fault-tolerant than digital identity solutions hosted on protocols that rely on centralized cloud providers like Amazon Web Services.
Log in securely using a password. Future updates will introduce support for FaceID, TouchID, and passwords, offering users flexible options to access their accounts. Built on centralized technology, passwords make BIG ID more user-friendly compared to traditional authentication methods.
BIG ID eliminates the need for apps to store passwords in a database. When a user creates a BIG ID, they are automatically assigned a public and private key pair. The private key is securely locked in a tamper-proof chip on the user's device, ensuring that it cannot be retrieved by anyone.
Each time a user creates an account with an app using BIG ID, a unique key pair is generated and managed specifically for that app. This ensures that users can interact with the app without worrying about their data being shared.
A local-first, self-custodial wallet with comprehensive features: create, import, or export wallets using passphrase or key files, enjoy seamless Ledger support, send and receive BIG tokens, upload decentralized data (text, files, folders, or deploy static websites), and easily view transactions and data.
BIG ID is built on WebAuthN, a global authentication standard. It eliminates the need for usernames and passwords by replacing them with passkeys—registered devices like smartphones, laptops, or hardware wallets such as YubiKey or Ledger. To authenticate their identity, users simply connect with BIG ID and unlock their device.
Simplify authentication and credential sharing to enhance the user experience, while reducing costs and cyberthreats by eliminating the need to store passwords.
Enhance your app's value by integrating advanced authentication and credential verification tools into your tech stack.
Guarantee the integrity and accuracy of academic records by issuing digital copies of degrees, qualifications, and certificates.
Offer citizens a decentralized digital identity solution, avoiding the risks of placing their data in the hands of private companies that may host servers in different countries or jurisdictions.

No, BIG tokens are fundamentally incompatible with MyEtherWallet, third-party wallets, or Ethereum addresses. Sending your BIG tokens to addresses or wallets on other blockchains will result in their decentralized loss. Always ensure you are using a wallet compatible with the BigFile network.
