Civic (CVC) USD Price

Civic is a blockchain-based identity verification platform that allows users to verify their identity once and reuse that verification across multiple services without repeatedly sharing sensitive personal data. The platform uses blockchain to create secure, user-controlled digital identities. CVC is the native ERC-20 utility token used to settle identity verification transactions between users, validators, and service providers within the ecosystem. CVC has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, all currently in circulation (as of March 2026).

In Web3, identity verification is a persistent challenge — DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and DAOs often need to confirm users are real humans without exposing their personal data. Civic’s product, Civic Pass, provides reusable verification credentials that work across multiple blockchains including Ethereum and Solana. This allows dApps to conduct age, compliance, and identity checks without requiring users to reveal their identity repeatedly. As regulators increasingly demand KYC and AML compliance from crypto platforms, Civic’s infrastructure becomes more relevant.

Civic shifts data ownership from corporations to users. Sensitive information is stored locally on the user’s mobile device rather than in centralized databases vulnerable to breaches. Users verify their identity through the Civic app using biometric signatures, then authorize specific data shares with service providers on a need-to-know basis. This minimizes exposure — a service only receives the exact verification it needs (e.g., “user is over 18”) without accessing the underlying documents.

Traditional identity verification requires users to submit copies of documents — passports, IDs, utility bills — to every new service they use. Each submission creates a new attack surface for data breaches and identity theft. Civic eliminates this redundancy by providing a portable, verified identity that users control. Businesses benefit too: instead of building and maintaining their own KYC infrastructure, they can integrate Civic’s tools to verify users quickly and at lower cost. Civic Auth now offers universal single-sign-on supporting users with or without crypto wallets.

By decentralizing identity storage and using blockchain for verification records, Civic removes the honeypot of centralized data that hackers typically target. Biometric verification adds another layer — a stolen password alone cannot access a Civic-protected identity. The Civic Pass system also includes bot resistance and AI agent verification, addressing growing concerns about automated fraud in DeFi and other Web3 applications. Validators who authorize user access are incentivized with CVC tokens, creating an economic model that rewards accurate verification.
