what's Universal Profiles?
Universal Profiles is a blockchain-based identity and wallet system built on the LUKSO network, utilizing the ERC-725 smart contract standard to enable self-sovereign, programmable digital identities. Each profile acts as a universal smart contract account that can own assets, execute transactions, and integrate with decentralized applications (dApps) across the LUKSO ecosystem. Key features include social recovery mechanisms, where trusted guardians can help regain access without seed phrases, and metadata management for linking personal data, NFTs, and social links in a verifiable way. The system supports a mobile app for seamless management of profiles, assets, and interactions, including backup/restore options, WalletConnect integration, and tools like the Token Creator for minting customizable ERC-725Y tokens. Designed for digital creators and users, it emphasizes privacy, upgradability, and composability, allowing profiles to evolve with user needs while maintaining on-chain security and interoperability within Web3.
