Civic – Identity Theft Protection

Civic, the ongoing ICO is one of the most looked after Inital Coin Offerin this year. Lead by Vinny Lingham, the Bitcoin Pundit, Civic has a lot of potential in the identity securing area via Blockchain technology.

So let’s discuss CIVIC ICO in detail

What is Civic?

Civic is a platform which is designed to facilitate on-demand, secure and low-cost access to Identity Verification (IDV) services via the Blockchain technology.

It is designed in such a way that background and personal information verification checks will no longer need to be undertaken from the ground up every time.

For Example: The personal information required to be filled in a job application resume is one of the most important information for the company. Each time a prospective applicant applies for the job, the organization need personal information for a background check.

Also, that applicant needs to submit the information to other organizations as well if he is applying in more than one organization.

Now here comes Civic, where let suppose the information is already stored. Each time the organization required the information, it can look into the platform for the information.
