# What is TNG Identity, and how does it work? TNG Identity is a self-sovereign identity solution that puts the end-user in control of their identity and personal data. It provides a complete ecosystem from the Verifiable Credential issuing capability to the end-user wallet where credentials can be stored. In the TNG Identity system, every individual or entity possesses a unique identifier known as a DID (Decentralised Identifier), and their identity-related data, or claim, is encapsulated through Verifiable Credentials (VCs). These VCs represent various information, ranging from basic details such as age to more complex attributes like academic achievements or memberships. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
