It’s been a busy few months at PhotoChromic. While the bear market has persisted, hacks and exploits have also continued to erode confidence across the spectrum. Over $2bn has been stolen this year from a series of hacks. This set of circumstances has only further entrenched our deep commitment towards forging a safer future and secured digital identity for all.

At PhotoChromic, we champion the cause for a safer crypto experience by empowering people to take ownership of their identities, and verify counterparties before transacting with them. This makes us a little different to the rest of the market out there. Much attention is being paid to fix exploits and vulnerabilities, rather than resolving issues at the root cause level. Many people only seek out identity protection after an exploit. We’re actively committed towards educating people and projects in this space about how they can do this prior to any losses. That’s why we’re committed to fixing the problem at its root cause, by enabling a safer, more secured digital identity.

Our team has been hard at work, as we focus our efforts on the future of digital identity. We launched our Soulbound Token minting engine on Mainnet Ethereum on 7 July 2022. Have you minted your PhotoChromic NFT yet? You can mint your PhotoChromic NFT here. Don’t forget, if you have minted a Genesis PhotoChromic NFT, you can mint your Soulbound Identity NFT, and tell a friend. For each person you refer to create their SBT, you earn 50% of the minting fees of your referrals!

Our team also launched our interactive application, which now enables you to transact with verified people. Send crypto simply and easily by routing it to your Twitter, Gmail or Discord handle. The PhotoChromic integration is now registered in ENS. We’ve also been fortunate to have been selected to join the first cohort of Startup with ChainLink. We have also released our developer documentation and SDK, as we work towards building a secure Metaverse for all. During this time, we have also provided rewards of up to $50,000 for projects who build and deliver services valuable to the market that leverage our PhotoChromic protocol.

At PhotoChromic, we’re confident that we’ve deployed and designed a market standard for privacy protection of personally identifiable information and captured that into our recently published privacy policy. As a regulatory-friendly platform, we’re always keen to grow our community and learn more about projects and initiatives we can collaborate with. Moreover, we’re extending our focus, to help usher in a new era for identity. We’re looking to grow our community to include Web2, fintech, and finance people with an interest in web 3. If you know anyone we should be speaking to, let us know here.

We’d like to take this opportunity to, once again, thank you, our PhotoChromic community. As a project that’s known for being different, we are inspired by our strong community, and your belief in our team. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us to deliver on our promise of revolutionizing identity. Thank you for your keen involvement in ushering in a brave new world of secured digital identity.

We’re excited to be initiating work with our first set of customers this month.

Despite the turbulent market conditions, our PhotoChromic mission and development progress remains strong. We remain focused on delivering a superb product for our PhotoChromic community, and broader web3. You play an integral role in this, and we are always ready to listen, learn, and discover together. If you know of any company, exchange, or project that you think we should connect with, pop us an email here.

Together with our excellent community, incredible investors, expert collaborators, and terrific team, we’re confident that the future is bright for PhotoChromic. We’ll chat again soon.

About PhotoChromic

PhotoChromic introduces a unique use case for non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) by integrating them with user identity, to develop a biometrically managed model of Self-Sovereign Identity (“SSI”) on the Blockchain. Using NFTs, PhotoChromic aims to make identity programmable, verifiable, universally addressable, and digitally secured.

Powered by an ERC-20 token, $PHCR, running on the Ethereum blockchain, PhotoChromic addresses the current challenges faced by people the world over, as they pursue ownership over, and the ability to secure, their identity. PhotoChromic gives control and ownership of user identity back to the individual, where it belongs.
