Chapter 1
Who knew?
Your identity can grow from what others vouch for, not from papers.
A browser can create an identity key offline, with no server and no sign-up.
Vouches can cost nothing, because EAS supports offchain attestations.
An ENS name can make a long key human-readable.
You need an official ID or money.
Flop identity is free; offchain attestations are free and onchain ones are usually well under a dollar on Base. An ENS name is about 5 dollars a year.

Questions
Is a Flop DID a legal ID?
No. A Flop DID is a digital identity key, not a government ID.
Is creating a DID with Flop free?
Yes. Flop creates a DID key in your browser for free, with no sign-up and no server.
Who can see my Flop identity?
Your DID and any onchain attestations are public, so share only what you are comfortable with.
Can I lose my Flop identity?
Yes. If you lose the key behind your Flop DID, you lose the identity.
Who are the three people who could vouch for your work tomorrow?
Some links are referral links; they never change what we recommend.
