Welcome to SOTRU

SOTRU is your secure digital identity and trust platform — built for individuals and businesses who need to verify who they're dealing with before they deal.

What SOTRU does

Every business relationship starts with a question: who am I actually talking to? Phone numbers get spoofed. Emails get faked. Documents get forged. SOTRU solves this at the foundation.

When you connect with someone on SOTRU, you know:

• They are who they say they are. Every SOTRU user goes through verified identity or KYC/KYB checks. Credentials issued to their wallet are cryptographically signed and can't be transferred.
• Your conversation is private. Channels between you and your contacts are encrypted in transit and at rest, and accessible only to the parties in the conversation - providing the utmost protection from fraudulent actors.
• Your documents are yours. Files stored in SOTRU live in your encrypted vault.

This guide will walk you through everything — from signing up to having your first verified conversation.

How SOTRU works

Verify your identity (for individuals) or your business (for organisations). This issues verifiable credentials to your wallet — the proof that you are who you say you are.

Connect with the businesses and individuals you deal with. You invite them to SOTRU (or they invite you). Once connected, you have a permanent, verified relationship.

Transact securely. Share your credentials, exchange documents, or simply send messages knowing the person on the other end has been verified.

Monitor everything through your vault. See which credentials you've shared, who you've connected with, and what's been exchanged.

Audit your trust history. Every verification request, credential share, and connection change is logged with a timestamp and cryptographic proof — a permanent, tamper-evident record of how trust was established.

Who this guide is for

This guide covers SOTRU for:

• Individuals setting up a personal workspace for identity verification and document sharing
• Organisation administrators setting up an organisation workspace, inviting team members, and managing business credentials
• New users who just received an invitation and want to understand what they're signing up for

Where to start

If you're brand new, start with Create your account — the whole signup process takes about two minutes. You'll create one account and then choose your first workspace (personal or organisation).

If you were invited by someone, head to Accept an invitation — it'll walk you through the process from the email you received.

If you're setting up SOTRU for your business, go to Set up your organisation after completing signup.
