CHECK is a specialized verification service designed to bring transparency and trust to e-commerce transactions.
Funded by NGI Trustchain with backing from the European Government, CHECK helps buyers and merchants verify critical information about their counterparts, making high-value and cross-border transactions safer and more reliable.
Our service uses Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to create genuine trust in online shopping:
- Self-Sovereign Digital IDs: Merchants control their own digital identities instead of relying on centralized platforms.
- Verified Credentials: When you enter a shop's URL into CHECK, we locate the merchant's DID and verify their attached credentials (business registrations, certifications, performance history).
- No Middleman Required: Unlike traditional verification systems where companies control all data, DIDs allow direct verification without trusting intermediaries
What makes CHECK different is our decentralized approach - credentials are verified directly through the DID system, making verification more reliable, private, and fraud-resistant than centralized databases or review systems.
Unlike conventional review platforms that rely primarily on customer opinions, CHECK provides objective, credential-based verification of merchants. Here's what sets us apart:
- Credential-Based Verification: Instead of subjective reviews, we focus on verifiable credentials and factual information
- European Government Backing: Our service is backed by the NGI Trustchain initiative, ensuring high standards and regulatory compliance
- Focus on Critical Transactions: We specifically address high-value goods and cross-border digital purchases where trust is essential
- Two-Way Verification: Our system allows both merchants and buyers to verify each other, creating a balanced ecosystem of trust
CHECK is particularly valuable when:
- Purchasing high-value items from unfamiliar merchants
- Buying digital goods from foreign jurisdictions
- Establishing new business relationships
- Verifying the legitimacy of online marketplaces
At CHECK, we believe that trust should be built on verifiable information, not just reputation. By providing objective merchant verification, we aim to make e-commerce safer and more accessible for everyone, regardless of where they're located or what they're purchasing.
