People Polkadot RPC Endpoints & Dedicated Nodes | OnFinality

What is People Polkadot?

People Polkadot is a system parachain on the Polkadot network dedicated to decentralized identity management. It hosts the identity pallet that was migrated from the Polkadot relay chain, enabling users to create, manage, and verify on-chain identities with minimal DOT deposits. The chain supports sub-identities, social recovery, and credential management, making it a core component of the Polkadot ecosystem for identity-related use cases.

Why Use People Polkadot RPC?

Developers building dApps, wallets, identity verification services, or analytics tools on Polkadot need reliable access to the People Chain. An RPC endpoint allows your application to read identity data, submit transactions (e.g., setting or clearing an identity), and interact with the chain's state. OnFinality provides managed RPC endpoints that abstract away node operation, so you can focus on your product.
