Time for part 5 of our Twitter Series on regulations & digital identity!

The first question is, what role does digital identity play in the world of blockchain regulations? 🤔
Well, for starters, public key 🔑 on a blockchain network is sort of one's digital identity 

Essentially, it is one of the ways that enable token holders to verify that it is who they say they are!
And this identity component will be key to pretty much everything once #regulations begin increasing amid growing #decentralization

Not only will it solve the problems within the #crypto space but also in the physical world 

But can this be done with privacy in mind?
What if this turns into a nightmare where government entities end up holding more control than expected?

This is where the fight has always been focused in the #crypto space!

It's always about maintaining a balance!
And this is why Shyft was launched 😇

The Shyft team realized the importance of getting digital identity right, be it in:

Business ✅
Government ✅
Institutional ✅

No matter the size or type 

We will give rise to the true & powerful form of digital representation
That is not to say there’s no digital representation today

Digital identity has made it possible for smart contracts to function ✅

And also allows crypto & stablecoin payments to work ✅
The thing is, the aim is a lot bigger!

The aim is to automate a large part of the day-to-day digital activities 

But for that, we need a strong form of digital identity 

We need a record of who & what everything & everyone is!
But, the current solutions in the digital identity space haven't worked as expected 

The reason being that we need a solution that is pretty much 10x better!

So, the most pressing question here is how to make a product that is usable from an identity perspective, digitally
Unfortunately, we haven't reached that stage yet!

However, #regulations will act as a catalyst here.

After all, #regulations do enable the adoption of innovative technologies 💡

So, this is how regulations & digital identity are interconnected in the #crypto world

1/ UK Treasury's A. Griffith 🇬🇧 tells @CNBC UK's #cryptore gulations are coming soon. ⏳🔒

He reminded that post-#Brexit, UK controls rulebook 📖✊, aiming for agility & balance. ⚖️ Image
@CNBC 2/ In Feb, the #UK gov outlined proposed crypto rules 📃 for the turbulent industry. 💨📉

One of its key proposals was to get FCA-registered firms 🏦 to apply for a new FSMA-based regime. 🔐🔧
@CNBC 3/ Compared to the #UK 🇬🇧, the US 🇺🇸 has adopted a heavy-handed 🥊💪 approach to #cryptocurrency.

This raises Q: will UK's balance encourage innovation & adoption, or will the US's strictness prevail? 🤔

1/ We have reached part-7 of the Shyft Office Hours Wrap-up Recap series.

And now, we move into the Q&A session that was conducted near the end of the Office Hours. 🎤

So, let's dive straight into it. 👀
2/ Question: In light of the current slow adoption of the FATF Travel Rule, what can Shyft Veriscope do to accelerate its adoption by #VASPs⁉️

@josephweinberg: Pushing Travel Rule adoption in a way that would prove to be negative for the #crypto ecosystem is a big NO for me❗️
@josephweinberg 3/ Instead, the preferred approach would be a more stable & safe one. 

After all, the impact would be considerably big. 💡

How big? 🤔 

5X-10X more in magnitude in terms of daily data transmission on Shyft❗️

1/ Part-7(2)

We covered Veriscope installation in the previous Twitter🧵 & it's time to learn about the testing & onboarding processes.

So, let's dive straight into it 👀
2/ First, we will focus on the testing aspect:

There are two ways of testing the Veriscope API! These are :

Postman Collection ✅
Sandbox Environment ✅

Note: The testing stage will come only after downloading Veriscope 💡
3/ To begin testing, VASPs (read = crypto businesses) must log in to the Web application after downloading Veriscope. 

And then, VASPs can choose either the Postman Collection or Sandbox Environment to conduct testing.

1/ We have reached the 7th part of the Veriscope campaign. This is also the last of the campaign. 

And today, we will give you an end-to-end walkthrough on how VASPs can install, test, and get onboarded onto Veriscope. 👀
2/ But for now, we will only look into the installation part. Let’s start.

We must visit the Veriscope Github repo to begin the Veriscope installation process 👇

docs.veriscope.network/docs/3.0.0/ins…

The repo consists of a complete installer with components to download Veriscope.
3/ The first thing VASPs (read: crypto businesses) need now is access to a server. 

However, the server must:

Be connected to specific internet ports. ✅

Have a domain name system (DNS) pointed towards it to translate the domain name into a machine-readable format. ✅
