Decentralized identity (DID) enables secure, portable verification of eligibility for universal basic income (UBI) by allowing users to prove residency, income, or citizenship via verifiable credentials (VCs) without exposing sensitive data. Smart contracts can automate UBI disbursements based on these credentials, ensuring transparency and reducing fraud. Governments or NGOs can issue VCs anchored to DIDs, enabling cross-border participation while maintaining user privacy and compliance with local regulations.
