Passcard is a decentralized, blockchain-based identity system.

The idea is to give you back control of your online identity, which you currently do not own (you either rent or borrow it from companies like Facebook and Twitter). With the blockchain, you can actually own your digital identity.

Onename will (hopefully), remain a "default" but not essential intermediary.

Passcard will hopefully replace login systems like Facebook Login, Twitter Login, etc.

Info: I do not work for Onename, I am not paid by them, but I collaborate with them because I believe in the importance of decentralization and they are helping with that.



Here: "Passcard is a decentralized, blockchain-based identity system." -> This should be their tag line.


For those curious, there's also BlockchainID (something I've worked on):

And BitAuth:
