Thrivacy
- WHY THRIVACY?: Think about it. What did you leave behind when you bought the last round of drinks.
Your Thrivacy wallet allows you to request all your important, personal information that can be used to identify who you are to be created into what we call verified credentials. Then those same verified credentials or VCs can be downloaded and stored in your own personal wallet that is kept inside your cell phone.
RIF Identity
- Webinar Series: rlogin Developer Workshop from RIF Identity
rLogin allows web application developers to integrate blockchain technologies giving the user the power of data portability. After integrating rLogin you achieve:
- A back-end authenticating users by their wallet addressed - their Decentralized Identifiers.
- A registration model capable of requesting users for data stored in its user-centric cloud storage, the Data Vault.
- A front-end capable of interacting with any wallet that the user chooses, with a pre-designed user experience for registration and login.
- Compatibility with a unified platform where the user can control their identity and information, the RIF Identity Manager.

BSN aggregates their technology partners’ services into their cloud-based ecosystem to make them all accessible to any company or developer that wishes to use them, with very low monthly access fees starting at just $20. Their “plug and play” approach eliminates the need for hiring or outsourcing highly specialized developers, who are in short supply due to high demand in this industry.
One of the most exciting benefits of ShareRing’s integration with BSN’s global ecosystem is how effortless it will be for companies to incorporate our products and services without requiring ShareRing’s assistance with development and integration.
