Sicomoro Foundation issues its card in a service app with digital identity in blockchain

The members of Sicomoro Foundation have their accreditation card in an app supported by Web 3.0, through which they can access the institution’s services and communicate with other members, with the collaboration of SmartDegrees.

The app highlights the value of the Sicomoro Foundation and facilitates the management of the community, by identifying its members, promoting communications between them and the institution, and giving access to the following services:

• Registration and access to courses and events of the Sicomoro Foundation
• Participation in open or personalized debate groups of the community
• News from the foundation
• Payment of the donation and access to the associated certificate
• Suggestions to the institution
• Identification card, with blockchain token and QR code.

The app uses blockchain, innovative technology that guarantees the inviolability of information through smart contracts, managed in a network programmed by a voting algorithm. The information uses the Verifiable Credentials and European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework (ESSIF) standards of the European Commission, through its European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) initiative, the adoption of which will allow the use of digital identity on other platforms and interoperation with other European institutions. It highlights the self-sovereign nature of digital identity, which blockchain allows, in which the user owns and manages their data.

 

SmartDegrees, in addition to developing the app, operates it and registers the digital identity on its own blockchain platform (Quorum, the enterprise evolution of Ethereum), as well as on the public permissioned blockchain platform Alastria, to provide transparency and also interoperability with other platforms.

The Sicomoro Foundation is an entity dedicated to the study of General Systems Theory, using an interdisciplinary and global approach to understand and address complex problems, such as the transmission of Ebola, crime and urban mobility challenges. Its goal is to develop collective knowledge that improves our society.
