Leveraging the Identity.com platform will significantly expand its ecosystem, expanding access to secure authentication through a wide range of requesters and verifiers around the world. It is planned that all participants will be able to use CVC to conduct open transactions on the platform and independently access authentication services in a decentralized market.

Introduce integration that enables partners to conduct real-time CVC transactions using fiat currency. Starting in q4, Civic will use the Identity.com SDK to select identity requests and authenticators, and open source the Identity.com code.

Civic will name its decentralized identity ecosystem Identity.com, and the code will be open sourced in 4Q18. Identity.com is a decentralized platform that provides on-demand access to secure authentication. Identity.com aims to connect requester and verifier users around the world to enable reusable authentication powered by tokens (CVC). The ecosystem allows individuals, companies and other entities to easily and securely interact in the digital world.

Civic partnered with Votem to launch the first CVC-powered KYC process to help Votem complete ICO pre-sale authentication, bringing a trusted identity service to Votem, enabling secure and transparent pre-sale, and freeing Votem from the risks and costs of collecting and storing personally identifiable information. Votem is a blockchain remote electronic voting system designed to enable citizens, organizations and governments around the world to easily manage or participate in online voting and to achieve accessibility, transparency, security and verifiability of voting. In June 2018, the world's first passcode beer vending machine teamed up with anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest beer manufacturer, to launch the world's first anonymous age verification beer vending machine, with Civic as a partner through an ID code, It enables trusted, proven relationships between individuals and organizations.

Civic completes the sale of project tokens. The CVC token behavior model focuses on achieving trust without a centralized party to the management ecosystem. To ensure that verifiers (trusted authentication providers) and requestors (entities seeking to authenticate information about a given user) have the right incentives to act, Civic rewards verifiers with CVC tokens. In order to give verifiers tokens to pay penalties, When providing authentication, the verifier must keep a minimum of tokens on the platform as a margin against possible claims; A similar concept applies to the requester. This mechanism ensures that each transaction is checked against the other. The CVC token behavior model aims to improve the authenticity and quality of the network. In 2018, over the course of one year, the project expanded the platform's digital identity offerings to include Reusable Know Your Customer (KYC), ID Codes, and more. In the meantime, Civic has focused on enhancing the system's security features, including real-time testing, to make the digital identity platform more secure. Civic has also built an ecosystem of partners to demonstrate how blockchain technology can translate into the real world.
