KILT makes it possible to describe and attest any kind of characteristics of persons, organizations and even things in a standardized way. This makes KILT a system for self-sovereign data.

This means:

1. KILT establishes Data Sovereignty on the Internet.
2. KILT puts Users in Control of their Data so they can decide, which data they share, when, with whom and for what reason.

KILT is a novel blockchain protocol that provides a distributed online trust market to enable solutions for managing trust relationships on the internet. In contrast to many blockchain-based protocols for self-sovereign identity, we consider identity as the first generic (but not exclusive) use case for the KILT Protocol.

KILT focuses on enabling new business models for anyone who owns trust or wants to build up trust. KILT provides a set of functionalities and an infrastructure to build both simple and complex trust solutions.
