Step 1 — Take Your Photo
We will capture one photo of your face. It will be hashed locally and its descriptor pinned to IPFS. The raw photo never leaves your device. You will receive an on-chain confirmation you can verify on the Elect-Chain explorer.

Step 5 — Create PIN
4 to 8 digits — never transmitted, only a commitment hash
Your PIN is processed entirely in your browser using keccak256 hashing. Only the commitment hash (not the PIN itself) is ever sent to the network. You will need this PIN to authorize transfers and governance actions.
Step 6 — Legal Identity
Your legal details. Each field is hashed individually and assembled into a Merkle root. The root is written on-chain; raw values stay on your device. You can later prove individual facts (e.g. "I live in Canada") without revealing the rest.
IDENTITY DECLARATION
I declare that all information I provide is true, accurate, and belongs to my own legal identity. Submitting false information or another person\'s biometrics constitutes identity fraud and may result in permanent account termination.
