Hey, glad to have you ever right here. Please introduce your staff, the place are you from, what are your backgrounds?
Thanks for having us! So when it comes to our staff our two Co-founders Tim Heidfeld and Tim Brueckmann have a protracted expertise inside Telecommunications and Affiliate Advertising and marketing in Germany the place they’ve helped construct up and exited a number of corporations.

What’s IAMX and why have you ever chosen the Cardano blockchain in your challenge?
IAMX is a token-based decentralised Identification and authentication protocol that empowers people with the means to personal their id. Adhering to the strictest of regulatory requirements for id safety, we offer a sturdy and safe system the place people are capable of take management and handle their id.
Customers of IAMX will realise important time and value financial savings by novel approaches to id administration and ecommerce transactions, like 1-click fulfilment, that are legally binding and keep native regulatory compliance. With customers answerable for their id information, time-consuming processes like Type-Filling, Know Your Buyer (KYC) or Know Your Enterprise (KYB) grow to be close to immediate, extremely safe transactions.
IAMX”s mission is to empower customers in relation to their id
We construct upon the foundations of Self-Sovereign Identification (SSI), blockchain, and DIDs, enabling people, organisations, or any entity to show their id impartial of exterior events or centralised authorities. This manner, the authenticity of something tied to an IAMX DID may be independently confirmed by the entity holding the DID. Our DID-method did:iamx was permitted by the W3C in March 2022 and is totally GDPR and privateness compliant.
On high of all of the time-saving and privateness advantages, the customers of IAMX might be incentivized to make use of their id benefitting from upgrades, reductions or cashbacks each time they use their IAMX Identification in an internet transaction. The companies utilizing IAMX can even have important upsides when it comes to every thing from important value financial savings in contrast with as we speak’s options to a rise in conversion charges because of IAMX simplifying buyer onboarding. Different enterprise companions, comparable to Telecommunication corporations or different organisations which might be required to hold out buyer KYCs, might be appearing as verifiers of knowledge and as such will have the ability to profit from life-time-revenues as they are going to be awarded a part of the affiliate marketing online charges generated within the IAMX Market.
We determined to launch on Cardano as a result of we had a pure affinity to this blockchain as our staff architect Tim Brueckmann was already working a stake pool. The extra sustainable proof-of-stake that Cardano gives in addition to the superb Cardano Group have been additionally deciding elements. Nevertheless, IAMX’s resolution is chain agnostic and we will already resolve on 50 ledgers and register on 8.
Inform us about your NFT Identification Verification resolution and the way that works? How does KYC match into this?
So in relation to NFTs, platforms like marketplaces manually assess NFT tasks on a case-by-case foundation for verification, which isn’t solely time-consuming but in addition not scalable, as cross-platform verification has not been possible for a lot of as a result of it calls for an excessive amount of work. This requires NFT challenge creators to undergo related rounds on completely different platforms, usually leaving them pissed off. That is the place DIDs are available in. With a DID, challenge creators can show their id in a decentralized approach, while not having to fill out private info each time after which look forward to guide verification.
So the best way it really works is that once you need to confirm your id and tie it to your NFT challenge(s) you create a DID by efficiently logging in to varied social media comparable to Twitter, Discord, GitHub, Fb, Apple, Google and so forth. Have a look right here for extra info.
This DID is then added to your NFT-collection and future patrons can see that the NFT they’re shopping for is verified. They will go right here and discover all the required info within the DID. So for instance if the NFT creator is Snoop Dogg and the DID proves that the stated NFT Creator has efficiently logged into Snoop Dogg’s Twitter account this enables for an especially excessive chance of the NFT being genuine.
IAMX’s imaginative and prescient is said to the human proper to have an id
On the subject of the KYC side this has but to be carried out into the vNFT but it surely’s coming. The KYC information might be saved within the Identification Pockets of the NFT Creator and the DID will present that the NFT Creator has carried out a KYC, however the precise KYC information won’t be saved within the NFT. The purpose of getting the KYC being a part of it’s so that once more it provides the additional reassurance that the NFT Creator is who they are saying they’re and helps avoiding scams.
What does the long run maintain? The place do you see IAMX in 1, 5 and 10 years respectively?
We see ourselves on the forefront of the Web3 revolution, bringing the world’s most safe, decentralized, and user-friendly Self-Sovereign Identification (SSI) resolution to the Web.
Inside the subsequent 12 months the IAMX Identification Pockets might be launched and so will our iOS & Android Market app. We could have already partnered with greater than 50.000 corporations.
Inside 5 years IAMX would be the world main supplier of Identification options for Web3, connecting your IAMX Identification pockets might be as pure to the method of getting into the web as opening a URL is presently. We might in impact have added the layer of id and authentication to the Web, with IAMX in 5 years it is possible for you to to deal with the Web like you might be all the time logged in.
Pursuant to our mission and imaginative and prescient, IAMX is working to unravel the issue of offering an id to the billions of people that don’t presently have a state-recognised, authorized id. In 10 years we envision having made important inroads when it comes to creating identities for the greater than 1 Billion folks on the earth that presently dwell with out having an id. Our dream could be to have lowered this quantity by greater than 80% within the subsequent 10 years. We expect we will make it occur!
