The following guide will help you get started quickly with Zipwire Attest.
Zipwire uses passkeys and wallet authentication to sign in securely without passwords. You can create a passkey in your browser, or if you're at work and want to keep it personal, scan a QR code with your phone to sign in. Alternatively, you can connect your Ethereum wallet directly. When you sign in, we'll create a new user account and link it to your authentication method.
If you're new to Zipwire and signing up via the Zipwire Attest promo page, you'll be registered as an individual - no workplace or business account is needed for Attest.
Attestations are claimed to an Ethereum wallet, so before anything else Zipwire needs one connected to your account.
Supported wallets include browser extensions (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and similar) and mobile wallets via WalletConnect, plus Smart Wallets such as Coinbase Smart Wallet. See Connect Your Wallet for the full list.
You only need to do this once. Once connected, any attestation you claim later will be sent to this wallet.
Next, choose your document locale from your account settings. This tells Zipwire which government-issued document types to expect during your ID check (for example, which country's passport or driving licence format), and it's also where your ID documents are held in Zipwire's encrypted store.
You can change this later, but it's worth getting right the first time since it determines what Zipwire asks you to upload during ID verification.
Head to your dashboard. Once your wallet is connected, you'll see a call to action there to start your ID check. This uses our Yoti integration - the same technology trusted by banks and government services - and normally only takes a few minutes.
If you don't see the ID check card on your dashboard, it may be because your wallet isn't connected yet - go back to Step 1 first.
Once your ID check succeeds, you'll be able to claim attestations directly to your connected wallet - starting with "IsAHuman" and any Private Data attestations that apply to your documents. See Claiming Attestations for what happens next.
