Together, they're bringing verified digital identity straight into the heart of business communications, and it's about to change the game!

In a press release that set the crypto world abuzz, VERA revealed they've seamlessly integrated cheqd's mind-blowing decentralized identity stack. We're talking Verifiable Credentials, AnonCreds, and DID-linked resources, all working together to let VERA users verify their counterparts in real time.

This powerhouse combo also means lightning-fast supplier onboarding, iron-clad document sharing, and fraud-resistant invoicing, all wrapped up in one encrypted platform. It's like a superhero team-up for the business world!

Max Coleman, VERA's co-founder, couldn't contain his excitement, saying, "cheqd's infrastructure lets us not just protect conversations, but prove who's who in a way that's scalable, respects privacy, and is ready for whatever the future throws at us!"

Fraser Edwards, the visionary CEO of cheqd, chimed in, pointing out the urgency of the problem VERA is tackling:

"Fake invoices flood our inboxes every week. With VERA's solution, every company and individual on the platform is verified. That's a monumental leap forward for global business communications!"

Get ready, South Africa! VERA kicked off their beta launch on June 1, and they're not stopping there. They've got their sights set on a full MVP rollout by the end of August, with plans to expand into the US, UK, and EU markets. In a world where trust-based digital interactions are becoming the norm for compliance and efficiency, VERA and cheqd are leading the charge!

Founded in 2021 and built on the cutting-edge power of blockchain, cheqd is the mastermind behind the tech that lets companies and individuals create, share, and verify digital identities and credentials with unbeatable security. They've even got a way to make privacy-protected payments for data. Their system supports all the big digital ID standards, like Europe's eIDAS 2.0, and they've got these game-changing tools called Trust Registries that let organizations control who can access and use trusted data.

But wait, there's more! cheqd's decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials are also stepping up to the plate to fight the rising tide of AI-generated deepfakes. These digital imposters are being used left and right in scams and impersonations online, but cheqd's tech is here to put a stop to it!
