Ankur Banerjee, digital identity, the soul & the data

In this episode, we talk to Ankur Banerjee, co-founder of Cheqd. The authentic data network built with the help of Cosmos-SDK and Tendermint. Cheqd is building a secure network that enables individuals and organizations to fully control their personal data. It allows self-sovereign identity (SSI) companies to build and deliver secure solutions. Through the network, anyone can verify identities quickly and securely. Data shouldn't be in silos waiting to be leaked or stolen. Companies shouldn't make money selling data without consent. Cheqd network allows SSI companies to build and deliver secure solutions to the user.

Om Podcasten

Citizen Web3 provides infrastructure services as a validator across the blockchain space. It is one of the oldest web3 podcasts in the space and a community of like-minded people. Our flagship product (in the making): www.validatorinfo.com is a dashboard and an explorer that helps you to discover validators across the space. We believe in the power of decentralized communities and the potential of blockchains to build a better world. For us blockchains are not just digital technologies, but they are similar to natural hives, forests, and patterns in the environment that allow us to communicate better. We value security, decentralization, privacy, and lack of enforcement. Open and verifiable blockchains should be viewed as digital nations and that our role is to help build and bring value to these nations.
