TL;DR, May has been a month of innovation for Hypersign, with the initiation of research on the integration of Zero-Knowledge Proof for on-chain KYC verification, promising to bring a privacy-centric approach to the verification process. We marked the 224th day of ‘Jagrat,’ our testnet’s first phase, showing a growth of 12% in issued decentralized identifiers and 2% in issued schemas. Fyre is undergoing a complete redesign aimed at delivering an exceptional user experience and enhancing platform efficiency. Strategic partnerships have been formed with Digitalsocial.ID (DSID) and C2E, facilitating improvements in decentralized identity management and user-controlled personal data. Hypersign’s leadership has been active in various outreach initiatives, contributing to discussions on identity management in the Web3 space.

Technical Updates

Hypersign

In the pursuit of making a more secure and private decentralized world, we have initiated our research on Zero-Knowledge Proof and its potential to revolutionize the on-chain KYC verification process. This would allow users to verify their credentials without revealing any personal information, promoting a more privacy-oriented verification system.

On May 10th, we celebrated the 224th day of ‘Jagrat,’ the first phase of the Hypersign testnet. We are pleased to report a 12% growth in issued decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and a 2% growth in issued schemas.

Fyre

Our Fyre team is currently engaged in an extensive overhaul of the platform. With a focus on delivering an exceptional user experience and enhancing efficiency across the board, we’re excited to share the reimagined Fyre with our community in due course.

Partnership Updates

DigitalSocial.ID (DSID)

We’re partnering with DSID to enrich their decentralized identity management system. This collaboration will allow users to build comprehensive reputation scores while retaining complete control over their integrated data. Hypersign will extend its technical expertise and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) infrastructure support to DSID.

C2E

Our collaboration with C2E has begun in earnest. We’re joining forces to create a decentralized platform that enables users to maintain control over their personal data. This partnership will leverage DID technology for multiple wallets, providing a streamlined management process and incorporating zero-knowledge-proof technologies for enhanced privacy.
