# Storage ### Where are identities settled? Identities are settled on respective blockchain(s) based on its default blockchain, this is to ensure that we can verify signatures onchain and never rely on any trusted offchain party to verify those signatures. ### How to verify resolved identity? A resolved identity can be verified by generating a merkle proof for that identity through the same offchain provider and then verifying that merkle proof on Fetcch's smart contract against signed merkle root for that identity --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
