Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a social graph are provided. The method includes generating and associating a first digital identity with a first node of the social graph, the social graph including a graphical representation of associations of digital identities. The method also includes associating the first digital identity with a second digital identity, the first digital identity providing verification for the second digital identity. The method also includes associating the second digital identity with a second node of the social graph. The method also includes linking the first node of the social graph to the second node of the social graph to establish an association between the first digital identity and the second digital identity.

Abstract: Methods and systems for incentivizing verification of a digital identity are provided. The method includes generating a first digital identity through at least a first certified device, the first digital identity including a first secure digital artifact uploaded to an auditable chain of a public ledger to establish a first physical identity of a first user. The method also includes associating the first digital identity with a new digital identity, the new digital identity including a new secure digital artifact uploaded to the auditable chain of the public ledger to establish a second physical identity of a second user, the first digital identity providing verification for the new digital identity. The method also includes providing rewards to the first user for associating the first digital identity with the new digital identity, the rewards including social and/or monetary incentives for associating the first digital identity with the new digital identity.
