Your personal details should remain private





The best part of blockchain and which also drives the growing interest in this new technology, is its potential to solve global issues using a decentralized approach. While developers and firms troop in to find the best product/partnership that would possibly put them way ahead of the competition in their various industries, It is vital we take a look at some blockchain based projects and what they offer the world.





I, like most internet users, have to sign up on a lot of websites which would require some personal details as kind of verification or for payments. I feel uncomfortable on a couple occasions, knowing it’s risky giving off your personal information out all at once. Well, today I’ll be writing about an identity and trust protocol that put users in control of their personal data: using this protocol, you decide who gets access to personal data and for how long.





With Persona protocol, you do not need to provide your personal details when next you need to verify or sign-up on a website. This is one protocol that got my interest. Institutions and firms that provide services such as Subscription-based services and Payment Processors, Mass-Media, Public Institutions, Academia etc. would find this indispensable. Being a blockchain based project, persona Identity and trust Protocol is Open sourced and updated based on the feedback of the community (developers, investors or supporters). For investors and developers curious about Persona ongoing status, hope you enjoy this update.





The Persona team recently announced that they are working on two major apps which would provide a jump start for developers that want to develop on top of Persona and leverage the trust it brings. Starting with a bot that would protect Slack and Telegram groups from spam and uses Persona tokens (PRSN) as fuel, the owner of the group can enforce identity check against identity in Persona by installing the bot. The bot is currently in use and being tested on Persona telegram and slack groups. The next POC (Proof if Concept) Application is an email signing add on for clients email apps and browsers. Since most blockchain and non blockchain projects keep a telegram community group, slack group and constantly would need their clients to sign up using their email on their website, these digital identity management apps would establish Persona competence using real life scenarios.





On Persona miainnet migration to Ark V2, a copy of the mainnet is being built while a plan to ensure community participation is being outlined and would be announced at the start of the migration tests.





Finally, the window version of Persona wallet has be released. The team is currently working on Forking the Ark Wallet V2 while adding new configurations and customizations like an announcement page and an option for voting and revokes.





For developers willing to develop on Persona Protocol, Persona has designed a Persona documentation center which is available here, to empower developers with all tools you’ll need. The documentation Center would be under continuous update based on feedback from the community, developers, supporters, institutional investors and partners.





Persona project team believes in the community. This they’ve shown by running testnets, bug testing, promotions and constant updates with the community playing an integral role. You can be a part of Persona Community on telegram, slack, and twitter. To know more about Persona, please visit these links;
