This page explains the User Profile data model — what a profile contains and how it’s built. For the SDK methods used to set and update profile properties, see the People SDK Reference.
Overview
A user profile in Cryptique is the unified record for a single person. It aggregates three streams of data: off-chain behavioral events, connected wallet addresses, and on-chain transactions. Every profile is keyed on adistinct_id.
Profile Structure
How Profiles Are Created
Step 1 — Anonymous profile
When a user first visits your site, Cryptique creates an anonymous profile with a generateddistinct_id (e.g. anon_abc123). This profile immediately starts accumulating behavioral events.
Step 2 — Identity resolution
When you callCryptique.identify('your_user_id'), the anonymous profile is merged into (or converted to) an identified profile keyed on your ID. See the Identify SDK Reference for full merge behavior.
Step 3 — Property enrichment
Profile properties are added from these sources:
Groups (companies, workspaces, etc.) are modeled separately from the user profile: you assign the user with
set_group and set entity-level properties with get_group(key, id).set(...).
Wallet Enrichment
Once a wallet address is linked to a profile, Cryptique automatically queries the blockchain and adds the following properties:
Enrichment runs automatically — no additional SDK calls are required. Data covers all 35+ supported chains.
Profile Timeline
In the dashboard, each profile displays a unified timeline of all off-chain events and on-chain transactions:Searching Profiles

Profile Properties vs Event Properties
Privacy
Wallet addresses are stored as-is and are pseudonymous — they are not inherently linked to a real-world identity unless the user explicitly provides identifying information (e.g. viaidentify() with an email). See Privacy & Compliance for full details on how wallet data is handled.
