# InterLink ID Credential

To enhance utility and real-world interoperability, InterLink ID supports the optional addition of verified credentials linked directly to each user’s identity.

These credentials include, but are not limited to:

* Government-issued documents: Passport, National ID, Driver’s License
* Financial credentials: Bank cards, credit cards, digital payment IDs
* Proofs of status: Visa, residency, age, nationality, employment

All credentials are stored locally on the user’s device and never uploaded or accessible by InterLink or any third party. Through selective disclosure, users can prove facts such as:

* “I am over 18”
* “I have a valid bank account”
* “I hold a passport from Country X”
* “I am the rightful owner of this identity”

These verifications can be used to unlock mini-app access, participate in token-gated airdrops, or meet lightweight KYC requirements in decentralized environments, all without compromising personal privacy.

By bridging traditional identity and decentralized trust, InterLink transforms identity from a static concept into a modular, user-controlled access layer for Web3 and beyond.
