Self-Sovereign Identity leader, SelfKey, announces public token presale

After a hugely successful private presale, in which over $5 million worth of KEY tokens were sold, blockchain-based digital identity firm, SelfKey, announced that their public presale of KEY tokens will begin on December 15, 2017. It is expected that the public presale will be just as successful.

SelfKey’s working technology platform is live and in use every day by customers all over the world to submit and verify KYC. It was built with the help of Standard Chartered Bank and has facilitated KYC for token sales such as Airswap, Aditus, Gatcoin, AiX, and Hotoken. It is also used by fintech/blockchain startups such as Polymath, Kommerce, ZILLA, Malabar.ai, TitanFx, DollarSmart, and the Hong Kong based exchange, Gatecoin, to name but a few.

It is not only blockchain-based companies that use SelfKey technology to onboard customers. NTL Trust, the oldest and most well-recognized citizenship and residency by investment authorized agent in the world, uses SelfKey to process citizenship and residency applications in over ten countries, through the blockchain.

The next generation of this technology platform is an identity wallet and marketplace powered by Selfkey Tokens (KEY). KEY is a utility token that must be staked to gain access to the network and spent to apply for identity notarizations and marketplace listings.

Through the SelfKey Identity Wallet, users can access their identity documents stored locally on their personal device. Since the documents won’t be stored in any server, database, or blockchain, the SelfKey Identity Wallet prevents security and privacy issues.

Users’ digital identity is cryptographically signed and can only be decrypted by a public key, so if any service provider or certifier attempts to share it with a third party it would be unreadable since it will only be visible as a secure hash on the blockchain.

ID documents can be verified by qualified certifiers, such as an eNotary. These certifications will cost KEY tokens. After their documents are verified, users will be able to reuse their identity certifications to instantly apply for multiple products and services, without the need to repeat the verification process.

The Identity Wallet and the Marketplace allow people from all over the world to apply for citizenship and residency by investment, efficiently start a business by setting up a company, bank account, or a payment processor, and access fintech products such as virtual checking accounts.

Since the SelfKey application is capable of receiving, storing and transferring any ERC-20 token, including ETH, as well as having the ability to allow instant sign up for multiple exchange verified accounts, cryptocurrency enthusiasts will also be able to manage their cryptocurrency portfolio.

According to their published roadmap, the SelfKey wallet will be available in January 2018, coinciding with its public sale.

When asked about the inspiration behind SelfKey, the founder Edmund Lowell Responded, “It all started with the pain of KYC – filling out the same forms over and over again for the business FlagTheory.com. We’d set up a company and then the banks would repeat the work we’d already done. This led me to start KYC-Chain.com, but now I’m more motivated by a larger mission with SelfKey.org. We believe people should own their own identity.

“There are now lots of global citizens who move between countries often,” he elaborated, “it only makes sense that there is a one-stop marketplace where you can setup an exchange account, access different financial services, apply for a residency or citizenship, and incorporate companies in different jurisdictions without the need for repeatedly filling out the same paperwork and submitting the same forms. SelfKey offers easy KYC onboarding and a one-click application process for these services.”

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
