ShareRing is Now an Official Company Supporter of Unconnected.org

Unconnected.org is a social organization that helps people who don’t have access, get access to the internet. This step enables them towards socio-economic development such as education, attaining digital literacy, accessing healthcare information, and meeting other necessities. 

ShareRing has announced that it is now an official company supporter of Unconnected.org and provides its digital identity security solution to help people make their first online experience secure.

ShareRing’s digital identity solutions can help people secure their digital identities with blockchain-based technology. Digital identities are established using physical identification like Government IDs. Then these are converted to digital credentials using a blockchain-based decentralized network. Interestingly, an individual’s data never leaves their device, which adds to additional security. The data is stored in ShareVault, a secured storage solution inside the ShareRing app. 

Verification is even more effortless in the ShareRing app. A blockchain-based verification enables people to merely enter an address and verify someone’s credentials in a few seconds.

ShareRing works on the principle of making digital identification as frictionless as possible. With the partnership with Unconnected.org, ShareRing strives to give back to society the power of blockchain-based identification, which was only limited to privileged individuals till now.

Both ShareRing and Unconnected.org are highly optimistic about their partnership. Commenting on this development, Stewart Smith, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at ShareRing, comments,

 “We are excited to be supporting Unconnected.org and embark on this journey together to create a more connected and accessible digital world.  Opportunities can be limitless on the internet, and for the communities we support, it all begins with providing the basic necessities for internet access and digital identities.”

Likewise, Unconnected.org CCO and Co-Founder Mea Thompson shared that blockchain-based identity verification could help refugee safety and help frictionless access to education and other life-changing opportunities.
