We started well, we had a blast 💪 Why did you have to go so fast ⏩ We never thought we’d see it fly 🪁 Goodbye my fren, the month July 📅 Time for a recap of the month! 😎 🆔🚀 Creds Launch 🆔🚀 We’re over the moon to officially release Creds at the Nebular Summit in Paris, where cheqd was an Official Credentials Partner, meaning every attendee, volunteer, speaker and event organiser, received their unique credentials. Creds is a platform to issue digital credentials, or “creds”. They are a portable, reusable, privacy-preserving, and secure way to prove identity, build a decentralised reputation, and establish trust. It addresses a number of Web3 challenges, such as community security, engagement, the wave of distrust created by generative AI, and privacy concerns. 🏔Nebular Summit Talks 🏔 Both our co-founders presented at the event. Using NFTs for reputation is "identity herpes", which is what Ankur Banerjee went with for his workshop, Fraser Edwards introduced decentralised reputation and spoke about preventing scamming on Discord and Telegram across Cosmos with the help of Creds. 🏆 Creds Merch Winners 🏆 As part of the Creds launch, we gave away a ton of branded merch and Polaroid cameras – the most portable, private, and secure camera out there, just like Creds. Congrats to the winners and those who managed to snatch a brand-new official Creds merch. And man, they flew out like hot cakes. 🆔 💼 walt.id case study 🆔 💼 Our frens and partners over at walt.id have written a case study on Creds titled, ‘Exploring Creds: A portable, reusable, private, and secure way to build reputation through Verifiable Credentials’. The case study discusses the challenges of community engagement, and also the problem of scammers and impersonators. During times of uncertainty, it is increasingly important to be able to protect an identity, a brand and ultimately your reputation. The decision was made to implement the walt.id SSI kit with the following considerations in mind: ✅ OpenID connect compatibility ✅ eIDAS compliant ✅ Customer support response time ✅ Ability to build a long-term partnership ✅ Open Source under permissive licence ✅ Low integration work needed Read the case study below, and let us know your thoughts. cheq it out 🗣 Upcoming AMA with Jamie Burke 🗣 We’ve got a guest speaker joining us on our upcoming AMA, which is scheduled for Friday 4th August at 1600 BST. CEO and founder of Outlier Ventures, Jamie Burke, will be with us to discuss privacy preserving identity solutions. There’s been a lot of noise recently, especially when it comes to biometrics stored on-chain, and why this approach could be considered a dystopian nightmare. We’ll be sharing our thoughts with Jamie on the best way to secure the new Trusted Data Market. Join the conversation here. 🪄 🟪 Magic Square 🪄 🟪 Great news, Creds has been added to the "Upcoming Section" on Magic Store.
