Metadium is a permissionless identity protocol designed to prove individual existence while maintaining the integrity of personal data. The protocol acquires trustworthy records relating to a user's data and provides virtual identification for digital asset ownership via a decentralized public key infrastructure (dPKI). META is the native token of the network used to incentivize participants who provide identification documents, reward agencies for verifying user data and pay for identity-based services on the platform’s ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps).
