About the Company

SpruceID lets users control their data across the web. Instead of people signing into platforms, we imagine platforms should sign into people’s data vaults. We implement this pattern into digital wallet ecosystems for governments, enterprises, and blockchains. We believe that architectures that enable individual autonomy in the digital world are necessary for free societies and dynamic economies to thrive.

Tech Stack

We release our open-source libraries under the brand SpruceKit, which span foundational building blocks for digital wallets, verifiers, and issuers of digital credentials. Most of our core software is written in Rust, and cross-compiled to different environments as necessary. This ensures we have reduced overhead for common functionality, while taking full advantage of Rust’s efficiency and memory safety on specific platforms.

Brooklyn native. Hi – my name is Rocco. I’m a digital humanist and Joycean by education, a musician by practice, and a technologist by trade. I am a co-founder of Spruce. In a past life, I was an associate producer for a children’s media company, an editor in chief and journalist, a startup consultant on product and strategy, and eventually a strategy lead for a team at ConsenSys focused on digital identity.
