#DigitalID is the sleeping giant that everyone is ignoring. The coming year will be huge for the #SSI industry in terms of regulation and industry development and $cheq will be right in the middle of it.
The way our data is handled is broken. Companies are incentivised to keep hold of your data, selling it or looking after it poorly. This can change. Enter #SelfSovereignIdentity, or #SSI - a new way for users to hold their own data.
Instead of companies holding your data, YOU own your own data and only supply what is needed to prove who you are.
Trusted institutions sign 'Verifiable Credentials' to show your data is trusted.
But companies make money with your data. Why would they change? Enter $cheq
As well as being the cheapest and most interoperable #SSI solution on the market, @cheqd_io makes micropayments between different actors possible. Need to $cheq someone is who they say they are? Pay a microstransacton to the institution which signed their VC.
This will become huge in the coming years. eIDAS in the EU is coming, bringing a whole load of regulation in which will mean companies will simply HAVE to adapt and begin using Verifiable credentials. This industry growth is coming, whether you like it or not.

It's become a commonly known truth that in the age of Web2 - WE are the product. Our data is held by companies the companies we interact with online, ostensibly for KYC purposes.
It's expensive to hold and keep secure and makes for crappy UX for users.
This data is often misused, sold or simply lost by the companies holding it, creating huge issues for users
