Approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide do not have an official proof of identity. For this reason, they lack access to basic services like insurance, loans or mobile communication.
To help meet this need, Gravity allows anyone to create a self-sovereign, secure digital identity based on certified personal data – with attributes that include bio data, education, health data, official identity documents and credit history.
The company’s digital identity infrastructure helps individuals to establish a trusted identity that is independent from public infrastructures and is non-dependent on official identity documents, postal addresses or banking systems.
The Gravity team chose a .Earth domain name because it supports its mission of having everyone on the planet to have a trusted digital identity.
“We want everyone on Earth to be able to build a trusted identity and a trusted economic profile,” said Johannes. “When we saw the Earth domain, we thought it fits very well with our mission. And, it’s a very cool domain name.”
