Opolis and Fortmatic Partner to Integrate Web3 Identity Authentication Into the Opolis Employment Commons
Today Opolis is excited to announce that we have partnered with Fortmatic to create the world’s first employment ecosystem utilizing web3 identity authentication. The partnership will allow Opolis members to easily access their employment accounts with their email or phone number and have their identity authenticated through Fortmatic on the Ethereum blockchain.
Features of Opolis’ Fortmatic Integration
Through membership with one of Opolis’ Guilds, or Decentralized Employment Organizations (DEOs), freelancers, creatives, consultants and gig workers can access the same high quality benefits and services as full-time workers while remaining independent. Opolis will offer health insurance, cryptocurrency and traditional retirement plans, tax compliance automation and more to Guild members. Through the Fortmatic collaboration, Opolis will also offer Guild members the ability to:
- Onboard the Opolis employment ecosystem easily with an email or phone number;
- Securely connect to Opolis’ platform through Fortmatic’s identity (ID) authentication;
- Stake Opolis DEO membership using an authenticated identity;
- Create and access a Fortmatic wallet for token storage and trading;
- Connect with other web3 dapps utilizing a Fortmatic ID.
Opolis members will have the option to use Fortmatic’s web3 integration; the alternative is creating a traditional web2 username and password for account access.
Our team is excited to be able to offer these services. As Opolis founder John Paller said recently about this announcement, “Opolis is building the most powerful collaboration of web3 technologies ever assembled. Fortmatic has a world-class team and has the user-friendly experience we need to onboard everyday people into the future of employment.”
When Can I Become a Guild Member?
Opolis is currently giving away one year of free Opolis services to 10 winners and one year of free healthcare to 1 grand prize winner for those who sign-up to learn more by November 30, 2019. Opolis’ soft launch is currently in progress with select freelancers, and the company plans to open guild membership offerings to the public soon. Anyone self-employed is encouraged to sign-up for notifications on the company’s wider launch by joining Opolis’ mailing list on their website.
