  • Is rumoured (5-12-2018) to be splitting in two: "UPort, a tool aimed at letting users log in to Ethereum applications, had three project managers, who couldn’t align on a single vision. Today there are just 15 applications using UPort, and the project is splitting in two." The article was dismissed by team members, saying it was written by "a disgruntled former employee in a click-bait article".

How it works

  • uPort is a decentralized digital identity platform focused on enabling self-sovereign identity, allowing users to be in complete control of their identity, personal information and digital assets. uPort aims to solve the digital identity crisis by providing secure and user-friendly identity services including registration, attestation, disclosure, profile and key management. The encrypted information that is in a user’s uPort allows them the ability to chose the parts of their identity that they disclose about themselves.”
  • "uPort is setting the standards for privacy-preserving identity solutions and helped the Swiss city of Zug develop ZugID, which enables citizens to access e-government services in a trusted and self-reliant manner. Last year, the uPort team also launched a pilot program with the Brazil Ministry of Planning that verifies government IDs and signed documents on-chain. While some governments have been slow to accept blockchain technology, several have taken initiative to prototype and deliver blockchain-based solutions around land registries (Dubai), electronic voting (Estonia), energy statistics (Chile), and internal messaging tools (Israel)."
