How Fast ID works

Fast ID gives your address a memorable public name, a simple profile, and verified links to things you control — like your ORCID, GitHub, or website. It's the public face of your address. It doesn't claim to prove who you are in real life — only what you've genuinely connected.

Getting started

Four steps to your Fast ID

  1. 1

    Connect your wallet

    Choose Fast App or Fast Wallet Extension and pick the address this Fast ID is for.

  2. 2

    Claim your name

    Pick an available given.family name and confirm it. That name now points to your address.

  3. 3

    Add what you control

    Add your ORCID, GitHub, or website so they show as verified, and list any published work. Add as much or as little as you like.

  4. 4

    Share your page

    Your public page shows your name, profile, and everything you've proven. Share the link anywhere.

What you can do today

Claim a public name

Give your address a memorable name (like given.family). It's yours — first come, first served — and it becomes the page people can look you up by.

Add your GitHub

Sign in with GitHub once and it appears on your profile as a verified link — no file, no waiting. It shows as proven from the moment you add it.

Add your website

Claim your site, then publish a small file Fast ID gives you. Fast ID checks it for you and marks the site verified — usually within a minute.

Add published work

Attach a paper or dataset by its DOI. It appears under your works with the title filled in for you. These are things you list, not things Fast ID checks.

Build a simple profile

Add a display name, a short bio, and a photo. Only the wallet that owns the address can change it.

Share it — and remove anything

Share your public link, or copy ready-made snippets for social and email. You can revoke anything you added, any time.

Good to know

What a Fast ID is

Is it an account?
No. Your address is the account. Fast ID is the public name, profile, and verified links attached to it.
Can one address have several Fast IDs?
One address holds one name at a time, and one name is held by one address at a time.
What if I have several addresses?
Fast ID keeps them separate — it doesn't assume different addresses are the same person until there's a clear way to link them.
Can I change or hand off my name?
You release it and can reclaim it later; the old record stays, so history is never rewritten. There's no direct transfer today.

Verify with your ORCID iD

Full control over your name

Simple ways to release a name, reclaim it later, or move to a new address — while keeping the history intact.

Historical checks inside Fast Sign

When someone verifies a signed document, Fast Sign will be able to show whether the signer's address was linked to a Fast ID at the time.

More ways to prove yourself

More social accounts, credentials, and organization roles — without ever treating a proof as legal identity.
