Web3 Identity & Authentication

Implement decentralized identity and authentication.

Authentication Methods

Method	Use Case	Gas Cost
SIWE	Web app login	None (signature only)
ENS	Human-readable addresses	None (read only)
ERC-8004	Agent identity	On-chain registration

Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE)

SIWE Message Format

example.com wants you to sign in with your Ethereum account:
0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb7

Sign in to access your account.

URI: https://example.com
Version: 1
Chain ID: 1
Nonce: 32891756
Issued At: 2025-01-23T10:00:00.000Z
Expiration Time: 2025-01-23T11:00:00.000Z

Security Best Practices

1. Nonce Management - Single-use nonces with expiry
2. Signature Verification - Always verify on backend
3. Session Rotation - Rotate tokens periodically
4. Chain Validation - Verify chain ID matches expected
5. Address Checksums - Always use checksummed addresses
