Please describe your proposed solution.

Our initial clients will be in the market of traditional verification requests, thereby issuing digital identities to their clients. This digital identities would have transferrable applicability into decentralized finance as the identity would already be tokenized. We plan to demonstrate the impact of our app by conducting a pilot program with a select group of organization, focusing primarily in the real estate sector.

How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

This is a (almost) ready-to-go interface to help drive the adoption of digital identities, especially by embedding it into traditional requests for identity verification.

How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

Possible metrics:

• Number of identities issued

• Number of platform/organization integrations

Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We hope to share our success/failure with the greater community and conclude this project with a formal report write up. After the formal write up, that content can be easily converted into a powerpoint, a medium article, and a thread of tweets. The powerpoint would be presented a Cardano meetup in Miami.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

We have already completed a considerable amount of development work that shows we’re serious about pursuing this. A early version working product already exists and can be found at: https://did.mintmatrix.io

The live website features:

• A preliminary user interface
• Users can request clients to get verified
• A user will receive an email requesting verification
• Users can go through a basic verification process
• Users will receive a digital token upon completion

Additionally, I’ve participated in the ATALA PRISM Pioneer Program and Plutus Pioneer Program (3rd

Round)

What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

Primary Goal: To issue digital identities that can be used for traditional verification requests as well as decentralized finance applications.

Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

Lead developer

• Formal background is in spacecraft software and autonomy algorithms

• ~5 Years of full stack web development experience

• ~4 Years of Cardano ecosystem development experience

• Interest in Cardano since December 2016

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The money spent on this project will help drive local communities into the Cardano ecosystem by offering digital identities from requesting organizations that need the verification in order proceed with traditional business activities, such as a lease or loan. This same DID can then be used in DeFi applications or used again in further traditional business activities.
