Welcome To CAN: An Overview Of CAN SaaS Tools
With special focus on startups, CAN provides tools designed to assist businesses build commercially successful platforms with easy-to-use SaaS services that can be assembled and combined to fit the needs of their business. The tools provided form a rich technical toolkit of essentials that can be utilized by established businesses looking to scale and startups looking to find their footing.
CANpass
CANpass is an account connection system which allows users to seamlessly use a variety of different partner services.
CANpass is an important component of the CAN ecosystem as it allows services and accounts to be interconnected across various platforms. Using CANpass in the CAN ecosystem allows an account on service A to be connected to an account on service B, and both A and B services can let each other know that the two accounts are connected when a user tries to use A and B services simultaneously resulting in a single service user experience.
SSO or single sign-on system is not a new concept; the average internet user has interacted with SSO every time they use multi-platform services like Google for instance. However, among other SSOs CANpass’ unique value proposition is seen in its prioritization of data self-sovereignty and data integrity. CANPass does not handle user data of the services, each service handles their own user data individually while still allowing seamless communication between services. As a result developers can build a service that utilizes a single sign-on system without the concerns of user data being shared or handled by 3rd parties, and users of their service can have peace of mind that their data is not being shared irresponsibly between services.
CryptoBadge
CryptoBadge is a digital certificate system that allows users to tokenize, issue and store life experiences, merits and achievements as badges on a blockchain.
CryptoBadge User Experience
Using Cryptobadge, a user can share badges across various social platforms that identify and represent themselves, this representation could be in the form of official certifications such as university degrees and licenses, or even personal accomplishments such as fanclub memberships and hobbies. The value in the Cryptobadge user experience is that these badges can be unlocked using special conditions and presented in communities in a fun gamified way.
CryptoBadge Developer Experience
Using Cryptobadge, a developer can quickly integrate an identification/reputation system for their service to manage users. In this way, CryptoBadge can be used to handle:
- Recognition of community members’ contributions and merits.
- Creation and management of an internal reputation system that can act as the backbone of the community.
- Facilitation of collective decision making based on merits held by members in a community.
Example cases of communities already integrated with CryptoBadge:
