# Identity Graph

> Memory Identity Graphs

## Identity Graphs

### What it is

A user identity is made up of different Web2 identities (Twitter, GitHub, website, email) and onchain identities (wallet, Farcaster, Lens). Apps and developers usually only have access to a portion of this data, and querying it across platforms can be complex.

Memory introduces **Identity Graphs**: an array of different user identities from Web2 and Web3 sources that together form a user's online persona. With the Memory API, you can query the identity graph of any user using just a wallet address, ENS, Basename, or a Farcaster, Lens, or Zora username.

### How it works

Identity Graphs are built by querying publicly available links for a user, registering the source of each identity, and connecting them. At the end, you get a comprehensive list of a user's identities along with their sources, making it possible to evaluate and filter out untrustworthy data.

In addition to public sources, the [Memory App](https://app.memoryproto.co/) allows users to curate their own identity graph by adding or removing identity links.

### In practice

Below you can see the whole identity graph of [Jesse Pollak](https://x.com/jessepollak) by querying its main wallet ENS [jesse.xyz](https://etherscan.io/name-lookup-search?id=jesse.xyz).
As you can see we have identities for Ethereum, Farcaster, Twitter, GitHub, Basenames, Talent Protocol, Lens, website and email, all queried from a single ENS name. And each identity node has a `source` field, which describes from which other identities and platforms the link was found. For more information about the available identities, check the [identities section.](/essentials/identities)

## Linking Identities

Memory Lets API consumers to write back to the identity graph by creating new users links that enhance the identity graph by providing a user verification flow for verified projects. If you want to get verified and contribute to Memory's identity graph see the [Developers Page](https://memoryproto.co/developers)

## Identity Metadata

Each identity node (e.g., Twitter/X, GitHub, ENS) can include optional metadata provided by Memory. This may include, for example, Twitter follower/following stats for each account. Identity metadata will be available soon—stay tuned for updates.
