The team behind Polygon ID and Privado ID takes its technology to consumers
Billions’ current account traces its team’s identity work to 2019 and names the progression Polygon ID, Privado ID, then Billions. This is the project’s account of its technical lineage, not evidence that every earlier venture was the same legal entity. Its earlier infrastructure served institutional identity checks; the next step was to let individuals carry proofs themselves.
The project dates the Billions consumer launch to February 2025. Instead of asking each service to collect another identity file, a user could present a signed credential and disclose only the fact the verifier needed. A DID connects the subject to cryptographic keys; the credential carries the issuer’s claim. Neither requires publishing a passport onchain.
The same design then acquired a second subject: an AI agent acting for a person. Deep Trust describes evidence about an agent’s creator, operator and behavior. In its 2026 roadmap, Billions places agent commerce and the Billions Wallet in early access. That is a stated product stage, not proof that every proposed payment or reputation feature is generally available.
