Atlas is the identity verification infrastructure bundled on every Datab Node. It records and verifies people, institutions, nodes, devices, documents, files, and trusted actions without making cloud identity a dependency for local operations.

What Atlas provides

• Identity registry — person, institution, node, and device identity records served by Atlas Core on the node.
• Verification proofs — document, file, action, and credential proof hooks for institutional records.
• Consent gate — every sensitive lookup or sharing action is consent-gated and audit-logged.
• Trust signals — credit and advisory risk signals remain available as Atlas Trust workloads, not the whole product.

What Atlas does not do

• It does not store passwords. Authentication happens in the backend; Atlas only stores identity-trust state.
• It does not approve loans, medical decisions, admissions, or institutional actions. Approval remains institutional policy.
