Contributions to third-party projects

Apart from donations in money, we would always contribute work to stay closely involved. Our ultimate goal is to become an integral part of developments that make a better world.

See Github repo for more info on what we are specifically doing for third party project involved.

Why we focus on Digital Identity to make a better world?

Because the internet is broken and the way we people accept being treated by governments and big corps is sick. It all starts with truly self sovereign identity and it’ll be pretty hard to achieve.
