Solidus Agents
Solidus Agents vs Crossmint
Crossmint already does KYC for agents — but the credential lives inside Crossmint's custody, so every relying party outside Crossmint re-verifies from scratch.
Solidus is a public testnet: no mainnet, no token, no external audit, and no paying customer. Every claim below is checkable; none of them are a substitute for the certifications an incumbent already holds.
What Crossmint does better
- MiCA authorization in the EU and SOC2 — real certifications Solidus does not hold; ours are a 2027 roadmap, not a status.
- A shipped Travel Rule and KYC/AML product, live with 40,000+ enterprises and named deployments including MoneyGram and Western Union.
- Fiat on/off-ramps across 50+ chains. Solidus has no fiat-ramp story at all in 2026.
- $23M Series A (Ribbit Capital) and a full-stack wallet product — custodial/MPC wallets, gasless transactions, a Lobster Cash card integration — bundled into one thing. Solidus is a public testnet with no revenue.
Where Solidus is different
- did:solidus is a registered W3C DID method (PR #713, merged 2026-07-04); Crossmint has none.
- The credential is W3C-VC-portable to any relying party that speaks OpenID4VP, held in a user-controlled Solid Pod — not inside Crossmint's custodial wallet infrastructure.
