Systems and methods for providing identity verification services

A method for invalidating attestation of information, comprising:

• recording, by a validating device in a distributed or centralized ledger, an attestation of information of a user with a transaction at an attestation address within the distributed or centralized ledger derived based on the information of the user, the validating device assigned a trust level proportional to a probability that the attestation is correct by an operator of the validating device;
• receiving, by the validating device from each of a plurality of requesting devices, a first predetermined number of tokens, responsive to the requesting device accessing the transaction at the attestation address;
• subsequently receiving, by the validating device from a first requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices, a request indicating that the attestation may be invalid, responsive to the first requesting device accessing the transaction at the attestation address;
• providing, by the validating device to the first requesting device responsive to the request, a second predetermined number of tokens, the second predetermined number of tokens less than the first predetermined number of tokens;
• and
• providing, by the validating device to each requesting device other than the first requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices, a portion of a third predetermined number of tokens, the third predetermined number of tokens selected proportional to the trust level assigned to the validating device.

A system for invalidating attestation of information, comprising:

• a validating device in communication with a system maintaining a distributed or centralized ledger, the validating device comprising a processor configured to:
• record, in the distributed or centralized ledger, an attestation of information of a user with a transaction at an attestation address within the distributed or centralized ledger derived based on the information of the user, the validating device assigned a trust level proportional to a probability that the attestation is correct by an operator of the validating device;
• receive, from each of a plurality of requesting devices, a first predetermined number of tokens, responsive to the requesting device accessing the transaction at the attestation address;
• subsequently receive, from a first requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices, a request indicating that the attestation may be invalid, responsive to the first requesting device accessing the transaction at the attestation address;
• provide, to the first requesting device responsive to the request, a second predetermined number of tokens, the second predetermined number of tokens less than the first predetermined number of tokens;
• and
• provide, to each requesting device other than the first requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices, a portion of a third predetermined number of tokens, the third predetermined number of tokens selected proportional to the trust level assigned to the validating device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to:

• record, in the distributed or centralized ledger, an attestation of information of a user with a transaction at an attestation address within the distributed or centralized ledger derived based on the information of the user, the validating device assigned a trust level proportional to a probability that the attestation is correct by an operator of the validating device;
• receive, from each of a plurality of requesting devices, a first predetermined number of tokens, responsive to the requesting device accessing the transaction at the attestation address;
• subsequently receive, from a first requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices, a request indicating that the attestation may be invalid, responsive to the first requesting device accessing the transaction at the attestation address;
• provide, to the first requesting device responsive to the request, a second predetermined number of tokens, the second predetermined number of tokens less than the first predetermined number of tokens;
• and
• provide, to each requesting device other than the first requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices, a portion of a third predetermined number of tokens, the third predetermined number of tokens selected proportional to the trust level assigned to the validating device.
