| Plurality is the first identity-lego-building-block for dapp creators that lets them identify their users without using any third-party KYC provider or other middlemen, whilst preserving the privacy of users. It encourages modular application design, allowing dApp developers to choose and customize the on-chain and off-chain components they need. |

This extension was created to keep the secrets of identity as private and only in control of the user.
The extension interacts with the dApp running in browser to create and transfer the public identity commitment. Moreover, it can also generate and transfer the proofs to the browser dApp.

npm install
