About Episode - I sit down with Fraser Edwards, CEO of Verim, a company building a #SSI Digital Credentials Network on Cosmos to create commercial viability via tokenized incentives. Prior to Verim, Fraser has worked across technologies and industries internationally, specializing in decentralized identity, blockchain-based payments and FinTech.

During this conversation, we discuss:

  • The Known Traveller Digital Identity (KTDI) project
  • How SSI will become commercially viable in various business use cases through tokenized incentives
  • The learnings from failed blockchain deployments that can be applied towards SSI commercialization
  • Why Verim chose Cosmos
  • Why approaching SSI through crypto/DeFi is so exciting
  • And much more!
