Our Vision

BlockAuth will enable you to own and operate your own Identity Registrar that allows users to submit their information for verification. The Identity Registrars work hard to verify that each user is a real person and that every bit of information they assert is true.

This allows third-party sites to let users log in with their BlockAuth compatible account using an industry standard method with the assurance that the user is a real and unique person. The user is happy because sites that accept the additional BlockAuth metadata can let users create accounts while not having to provide any personal data.

This crowdsale is selling the tradable tokens that will be used to power the financial network between users, Identity Registrars, BlockAuth, and other verification partners. With these tokens, you're giving yourself an opportunity to start your own business as an Identity Registrar, operate as a Verification Partner, or you can simply sell your tokens to future Registrars or Partners. If you do decide to start your own business in the BlockAuth ecosystem, you're going to save a significant amount of startup costs by buying tokens now.

Chicken and the egg?

There are over 50,000 websites that let users log in with our OpenID Connect 1.0 compatible accounts. The magic comes in the additional data we can pass during the login process and what the site does with it. BlockAuth has already secured agreements to utilize the BlockAuth authentication system from over a dozen startup and existing businesses. We anticipate many more once we finish development of plugins for common platforms such as Wordpress & Drupal.

Opportunities & Goals

BlockAuth will establish the foundation for decentralized proof-of-identity with verification.

Be one of the first to join this initiative dedicated to creating a system that solves the problem of user verification while still respecting the users privacy.

In addition to the business opportunities that this provides, you can also take pleasure in the knowledge that we have several community friendly goals. All code will be open source. All finances will be public. Everything possible will be decentralized or made democratic. For more on this, please read about our Founding Ideals and Goals.

Some Facts

There are many industries that can take advantage of BlockAuth Identity Registrars. Bitcoin Exchanges can outsource their user authentication and Know Your Customer regulations. Any site that allows comments on their blogs and forums can cut out the trolls and spammers with little-to-no effort.
