Civic (CVC) is a blockchain-based ID management solution that offers individuals and businesses alike the necessary tools to control and protect personal identity info.
The project’s ID verification solution uses DLT to authorize ID usage in real-time, and it’s most used by sharing info with Civic partners following user authorization.
The Civic ecosystem relies on a unique utility token, the Civic token (CVC), for identity-related transactions between Civic participants, such as a customer and service provider.
Users can earn CVC tokens by completing tasks like signing up for a service or introducing new users. Validators can earn CVCs by validating documents for service providers.
Civic was launched in 2018, following a sell-out initial coin offering (ICO) the year prior.
Civi has just introduced a physical ID card:
"Civic introduced a new physical ID card that Civic Pass holders can use to prove their identity and minimize the threat of AI driven identity fraud."
Big news today, all!
