@ evernym

well be able to share more about our new work at Avast over the coming months. In the meantime, there are several great posts on the Avast blog that show the combined thinking of the Avast, Evernym, and SecureKey teams:

Todays release was made possible with the help of many of our incredible customers who have participated in the products beta. Its through your feedback that weve been able to iterate, refine, and ultimately launch a product that will help make self-sovereign identity more accessible to all.

The most important changes are:

  • A fee will be charged on a regular basis to remain an endorser on either MainNet or StagingNet.
  • In addition to the endorser fee, write fees will now be charged for transactions on Sovrin StagingNet in a similar fashion to the existing fees on Sovrin MainNet.
  • The current Sovrin Self Serve website will stop being used to become an endorser on StagingNet, and instead endorsers will be charged a fee after registering.

Evernym joins Avast

Joining forces with Avast represents the next step of our journey and an opportunity to bring the privacy, security, and trust benefits of decentralized identity to the entire world.

Adding Evernyms groundbreaking self-sovereign identity technology to our offering enables us to address this area and is a huge step forward in the realization of a digital world where decentralized, portable identities are available universally and globally.

Avasts product suite ranges from VPNs, antivirus, anti-tracking, monitoring of personal information potentially affected by data breaches, and so on. Evernym enables user-centric identity, where the individual user holds, controls, and shares their identity data in a privacy-preserving way.

Our vision for digital freedom is to enable people to manage and retain control over their personal data so that they can interact and transact safely, privately and with confidence. Decentralized digital identities are a key component of that vision
