How WalletAura works
The core idea
WalletAura verifies the association between a blockchain wallet and a real social identity. When you verify your wallet, you're proving that a specific person (you) controls that address.
This verification creates what we call aura — identity-linked reputation that travels with the wallet and everything in it.
What aura represents
Aura is not a score, a game, or a competition. It's a measure of identity verification — how strongly a wallet is linked to a known real-world person.
Primary signal: Identity verification
The most important factor in aura is whether the wallet owner has verified their identity through a social account. A wallet with verified identity carries provenance — when you see an NFT from that wallet, you know who created or owned it.
Secondary signals
We also consider on-chain behavior as supporting context:
- Longevity: How long the wallet has existed. Older wallets with history are more established.
- Activity: Transaction patterns and engagement. Active wallets are more likely to be primary wallets.
- Risk indicators: Patterns that suggest suspicious behavior. Verified identities significantly reduce risk signals.
Verification vs. inference
WalletAura clearly distinguishes between what we knowand what we infer.
Verified (we know)
- • Wallet ownership (via signature)
- • Social account control (via OAuth)
- • The link between them
Inferred (we estimate)
- • Wallet age from on-chain data
- • Activity patterns
- • Risk indicators
How verification works
- 1
Connect your wallet
We ask you to connect the wallet you want to verify. This uses standard wallet connection — no special permissions.
- 2
Authenticate with a social account
You sign in to a social platform (like X or Facebook). This proves you control that account.
- 3
Sign a verification message
You sign a specific message with your wallet. This proves you control the wallet. The message is read-only — it cannot authorize any transactions.
- 4
Verification published
We record the cryptographic proof linking wallet to identity. Your profile is now verified and publicly visible.
Non-custodial guarantees
WalletAura is designed to be trustworthy by being limited. Here's what we explicitly cannot do:
- ×Access your private keys or seed phrase
- ×Move, transfer, or spend your assets
- ×Execute any blockchain transactions
- ×Post to or modify your social accounts
- ×Prevent you from revoking verification
Why provenance matters
In the physical art world, provenance — the record of who owned something — is a crucial part of value. A painting that was once owned by a notable collector carries that history.
WalletAura brings this concept to blockchain. When you know who owns a wallet, every asset in that wallet gains social context:
- →An NFT created by a verified artist's wallet is authentic
- →A token held by a verified founder signals conviction
- →An asset's ownership history becomes traceable to real people
