lifeID Names Chief Blockchain Evangelist to Lead Global Community Development

SEATTLE, Wa; February 1, 2018…lifeID, which recently emerged from stealth mode in an effort to give users control over their identities, today named Alex Ortiz as its Chief Blockchain Evangelist..

“Alex accelerates our ability to share our global vision with the blockchain community.” said lifeID Founder and veteran security expert Chris Boscolo. “Alex combines technical savvy with incredible community development and a deep belief that self-sovereign identity is one of the keys to improving human well-being locally and globally.”

For the past year plus, lifeID has been working relentlessly to bring identity into the modern era. The company aims to change the paradigm for identity solutions with their lifeID phone app built on lifeID’s open, permissionless blockchain-based identity platform being launching in the second half 2018.

“lifeID represents one of the most important uses of blockchain protocols,” said Alex Ortiz. “I believe technology can and should be used to create a better world and help us solve complex business and social problems. By giving people the tools to own and manage their own identities, the blockchain ecosystem takes a big first step in that direction. Working with lifeID represents a tremendous opportunity to create an identity platform and build a global community that can help us serve and inspire world-changing outcomes.”

lifeID has been working with other prominent blockchain-based companies and communities to become the identity layer for their application stack. This will allow for a dynamic and robust ecosystem, while ensuring scalability for lifeID, creating maximum value for users and businesses integrating with these various solutions.

The new experience of accessing your entire world with just a phone and the lifeID app, is a huge benefit to users. It removes the need for usernames and passwords through single sign-on functionality, in addition to the replacement of cards and key fobs used to access physical things. Moreover, lifeID can be used to replace real world identifiers, such as driver licenses, gym memberships or even diplomas issued by a university.
