MetaMask verification uses cryptographic message signing to prove wallet ownership - no custody, no private key exposure. Accredifi standardizes this for institutional workflows.
MetaMask is wallet software. It does not provide built-in identity verification or compliance tooling. Wallet ownership must be verified through a separate infrastructure layer.
MetaMask is a wallet client. It does not perform institutional identity checks or compliance onboarding.
A wallet signature proves key control, not legal identity. It should complement your existing AML/KYC workflow.
When a user signs a structured challenge, the signature proves they control the wallet - without exposing the private key.
Issue a challenge, collect a signature, verify it, and keep a reusable record. No custody required.
Present a nonce-based challenge containing context, purpose, and expiry. The user signs it in MetaMask.
Validate that the signature resolves to the expected address. This proves wallet control at that moment.
Save the signed proof as an institutional record for audits, underwriting, and repeat verification.
Embed MetaMask verification into onboarding, underwriting, or compliance review - and automate it via API.
Trigger a MetaMask verification request during onboarding, underwriting, or compliance review.
Keep signed proofs and metadata as institutional records for audits, case management, and policy reviews.
Integrate endpoints and webhooks to reduce manual review and scale verification across your platform.
No. MetaMask is wallet software and does not provide built-in identity verification. Wallet control can be proven cryptographically, but identity checks must be handled by your institution's KYC process.
You issue a structured challenge message and the user signs it in MetaMask. The signature proves control of the wallet's private key, while the private key itself never leaves the wallet.
It proves wallet ownership or control at a point in time. It does not, by itself, prove legal identity. Institutions typically combine wallet verification with existing AML/KYC checks.
Yes. Accredifi provides API endpoints to create verification requests, receive completion events, and fetch signed records so your platform can automate verification in lending and compliance workflows.
Yes. Each verification can be stored as a timestamped institutional record with challenge details, signature validation, and wallet address context for later review, underwriting, and audit trails.
No. Accredifi is a verification infrastructure layer. Funds remain in the user's wallet, and no asset transfer is required to complete verification.
