Identity Precompile on Moonbeam¶
Introduction¶
The Identity Precompile is a Solidity interface that allows you to create, manage, and retrieve information on on-chain identities. Identities are attached to accounts and include personal information, such as your legal name, display name, website, Twitter handle, Riot (now known as Element) name, and more. You can also take advantage of custom fields to include any other relevant information.
The Identity Precompile interacts directly with Substrate's Identity Pallet to provide the functionality needed to create and manage identities. This pallet is coded in Rust and is normally not accessible from the Ethereum side of Moonbeam. However, the Identity Precompile allows you to access this functionality directly from the Solidity interface.
The Identity Precompile is located at the following address:
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000818
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000818
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000818
The Identity Precompile Solidity Interface¶
Identity.sol is a Solidity interface that allows developers to interact with the precompile's methods.

}
The Identity Precompile contains some functions that can be called by anyone and some judgment-related functions that can only be called by a registrar. The functions that can be called by anyone are as follows:
- identity(address who) - returns registration information for a given account
- superOf(address who) - retrieves the super account for a sub-account. If the given account is not a sub-account, the address returned is
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 - subsOf(address who) - returns the sub-accounts for a given account. If the given account doesn't have any sub-accounts, an empty array is returned (
[]) - registrars() - returns the list of registrars
- setIdentity(IdentityInfo memory info) - sets the identity for the caller
- setSubs(SubAccount[] memory subs) - sets the sub-accounts for the caller
- clearIdentity() - clears the identity for the caller
- requestJudgement(uint32 regIndex, uint256 maxFee) - requests judgment from a given registrar along with the maximum fee the caller is willing to pay
- cancelRequest(uint32 regIndex) - cancels the caller's request for judgment from a given registrar
- addSub(address sub, Data memory data) - adds a sub-identity account for the caller
- renameSub(address sub, Data memory data) - renames a sub-identity account for the caller
- removeSub(address sub) - removes a sub identity account for the caller
- quitSub(address sub) - removes the caller as a sub-identity account
The judgment-related functions that must be called by a registrar and the caller must be the registrar account that corresponds to the regIndex are:
- setFee(uint32 regIndex, uint256 fee) - sets the fee for a registar
- setAccountId(uint32 regIndex, address newAccount) - sets a new account for a registrar
- setFields(uint32 regIndex, IdentityFields memory fields) - sets the registrar's identity
- provideJudgement(uint32 regIndex, address target, Judgement memory judgement, bytes32 identity) - provides judgment on an account's identity
Interact with the Solidity Interface¶
The following sections will cover how to interact with the Identity Precompile using Ethereum libraries, such as Ethers.js, Web3.js, and Web3.py.
The examples in this guide will be on Moonbase Alpha.
Using Ethereum Libraries¶
To interact with the Identity Precompile's Solidity interface with an Ethereum library, you'll need the Identity Precompile's ABI.

Once you have the ABI, you can interact with the precompile using the Ethereum library of your choice. Generally speaking, you'll take the following steps:
- Create a provider
- Create a contract instance of the Identity Precompile
- Interact with the Identity Precompile's functions
In the examples below, you'll learn how to assemble the data required to set an identity, how to set an identity, and how to retrieve the identity information once it's been set.
Remember
The following snippets are for demo purposes only. Never store your private keys in a JavaScript or Python file.
import { ethers } from 'ethers'; // Import Ethers library
import ABI from './identityPrecompileABI.js'; // Import Identity Precompile ABI
const privateKey = 'INSERT_PRIVATE_KEY';
const identityPrecompileAddress = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000818';
// Create Ethers provider and signer
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(
'https://rpc.api.moonbase.moonbeam.network'
);
const signer = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider);
// Create interface for the Identity Precompile
const identityPrecompile = new ethers.Contract(
identityPrecompileAddress,
ABI,
signer
);
// Interact with the Precompile Registry
const setIdentity = async () => {
// Assemble identity info
const identityInfo = {
additional: [],
