The blockchain-based self-sovereign identity firm SelfKey Foundation has announced the public launch of its Desktop application: The SelfKey Identity Wallet Beta.

After powering KYC for some of the most successful Token Sales over the last months such as Airswap, Aditus and HoToKen and having sold US$21.7m worth of KEY tokens in a Token Sale that lasted 11 minutes, SelfKey delivers its long-awaited flagship product, the Identity Wallet, which is expected to be a game-changer in the identity management industry.

The SelfKey Wallet is a private and secure by design desktop application conceived to solve current major identity problems such as: data breaches, current tedious and paper-based KYC processes and identity data oversharing by enabling:

SelfKey wallet leverages a self-hosted identity data storage where identity always remain in control of the Identity owner; and a reusable KYC feature, with which identity owners can leverage their verified identity to instantly access products and services; in addition to a blockchain-based verifiable claims protocol that allows to prove specific ID attributes without sharing their actual ID document.

As of Thursday (June 28th), anybody who wishes to will be able to build their SelfKey ID for future use in the upcoming SelfKey Marketplace.

The Selfkey Marketplace will be released in the following months and will offer instant sign up for a broad range of financial, immigration and cryptocurrency services divided into more than 10 market verticals that will be released periodically. SelfKey has enabled a demo for its followers to see its potential.

During the last months, several marketplace participants have been unveiled such as two Caribbean banks, the global immigration service firm NTL Trust as well as blockchain companies such as Polymath, Kyber Network and LEXIT, among others.

The SelfKey native token, KEY, will be used to access the marketplace and its products and services via proof of stake. This has been conceived to deter bad actors and incentivize good practices, enabling a proof of reputation mechanism within the Identity Ecosystem.

In addition, the SelfKey Identity Wallet Beta can be used as cryptocurrency wallet to store, receive and send ETH, KEY and other ERC-20 tokens. The cryptocurrency wallet is not tied to the SelfKey ID so the user can keep transactions anonymous.

“After months of hard work, we are excited to launch the SelfKey Identity Wallet Beta and share our progress with the world. The launch of the wallet represents the kick-off of an application that we are building to disrupt the identity management industry. We are working on building an end-to-end identity ecosystem which does not only solve long-lasting problems that we are facing and suffering everyday, it also opens a myriad of opportunities for our users to apply for wealth generating and protection services.”

“Our ultimate purpose as a Foundation is empowering individuals and organizations with the right tools to truly own and control their identity to find more freedom and privacy. This launch represents our commitment to achieve this purpose in the shortest possible time” said Selfkey Founder Edmund Lowell.

For those interested, the SelfKey Wallet Desktop Beta will be available to download on their website for Windows and Mac Desktop devices on Thursday June 28th.
