Last month, [we introduced CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/94e7b558022376aff30fabe6c8ed07be82b6ffdf6bd2c6665cdd054dc54b4da0), a web3-native digital social identity solution. One’s digital identity carries many aspects that reflect our personas in the real world. At CyberConnect, we like to think of identity in the context of your friendships, interactions, and transactions in a world powered by blockchains. CyberID’s web3-native design makes the complex world of blockchain-based applications safer and easier to navigate. The core mandate of CyberID and your *.cyber* handle is not only to give you access to the CyberConnect ecosystem but to help you represent and differentiate yourself in web3.

Since its launch, almost [70k unique handles](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) have been claimed. The response from our community to CyberID has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re deeply humbled by this enthusiasm, particularly from new users who are eager to explore and mint their own CyberID.

So, let’s jump in and get you the only web3 identity you’ll ever need.

### **Why CyberID?**

Our digital persona is the product of all of the information that exists about us online, such as our content, connections, and engagements. When our digital identities are fragmented across different platforms, there is no single place where all this information can be seen together. That’s why our digital identities in the traditional social media world often feel like a puzzle, with different platforms holding different pieces of our interactions. We post updates on Facebook, share real-time thoughts on Twitter, highlight our professional achievements or milestones on LinkedIn, and keep a visual journal of our lives on Instagram. But all these services and applications operate in their own isolated universes (or walled gardens), resulting in fragmented interactions. This can make it difficult to get a complete picture of our digital persona, and it can also be challenging to manage our own online interactions across multiple platforms and services. This necessitates a unified, self-sovereign, and decentralized identity that transcends the limitations of traditional tech giants. CyberID provides a solution to this.

Each CyberID is a tradeable ERC-721 NFT representing your social identity in web3. It acts as an alias for your various blockchain addresses, providing a simplified, human-readable handle instead of a string of alphanumeric characters — much like your username on Instagram or Twitter. CyberID makes the experience of navigating through the web3 space seamless by mitigating the complexities of managing multiple addresses on different blockchains. In simpler terms, CyberID is a way to create a single, unified identity for yourself on the blockchain. 

### How to mint your CyberID

Each CyberID is available on a demand-based one-time payment model. For a limited period, we’re offering 100% cash back on your handle purchase amount in the form of gas credit (SmartGas) to your CyberAccount.

The cost of minting your CyberID is determined by the handle length you select. Shorter and more distinctive handles incur a higher price. For example, if your chosen CyberID is **tom.cyber**, which is 3 characters long, the fee would be $1000. Each character you add or remove adjusts the fee, allowing you to choose a CyberID that fits your persona and budget.

**Step 1:** Create a CyberAccount (skip if you already have one)

- Visit [wallet.cyber.co](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity), and you’ll be prompted to connect your EOA wallet, such as MetaMask.

- To initiate the connection, click on the 'Connect' button. This will bring up a list of compatible wallets. If you don’t have a wallet yet, find one that is available in your region [here](https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/find-wallet/).

- Select your wallet provider. A pop-up from your wallet will ask for confirmation to establish the connection with [wallet.cyber.co](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity).

**Step 2:** Proceed to Mint Your CyberID

- Once your EOA wallet is successfully connected, locate the 'CyberID' tab on the left-hand sidebar. This will direct you to the CyberID minting page.

- A menu will appear with two options: ‘Mint’ and ‘Claim.’ Make sure you select the ‘Mint’ option to create a new CyberID. If you previously held a CyberProfile (now deprecated), you can ‘claim’ your previous handle.

**Step 3:** Choose your unique CyberID handle

- Enter your desired CyberID handle, which will be displayed as [your handle].cyber. For example, if you choose the handle ‘tom,’ your CyberID will be displayed as tom.cyber.

- Review the minting fee, which will be automatically calculated based on the length of your chosen CyberID handle. This fee will be displayed in USD and payable in ETH on the OP Mainnet network.

*Note: Before proceeding, double-check that your signer wallet has enough ETH to cover the minting fee. Remember, this transaction occurs on the OP Mainnet, so that’s where your funds need to be.*
