Feet on the sand, the new way of signing contracts

This is the awesome place where you could be signing all your major contracts. Conveniently with your feet on the sand. Securely via face-authenticated signatures. Privately as only you control your biometrics by design.

If you think this is a dream, let me reassure you that this is reality. And it is exactly what I did a few weeks ago from sunny Algarve.

As we keep saying, it all starts with a dream. And dreams may not come true, but they inspire you and bring reality closer to your vision. And some of our own dreams at Youverse have led us to a place where you can actually sign major contracts with your feet on the sand as a warm salty breeze brushes your face. And this can be integrated with any electronic signature platform.

The Summer break and Autumn reentry have been packed with very interesting developments in the market, in our products and also in Youverse as a company. The major two trends in the market continue to be privacy preservation and attack detection.

• Regarding privacy, Youverse is one of the very few companies providing decentralized biometrics and surely the only one which is both decentralized and top-tier in accuracy. Youverse has created a novel zero-knowledge authentication protocol that completely detaches the process of authentication from the biometric data. Companies control the process, users control the data. This is a major breakthrough.
• As for security, Youverse is committed to providing top-tier technology that ranks amongst the best in the world. We're truly dedicated to staying at the forefront of the industry and providing our clients and partners with the best possible security and privacy protection. We've kept launching dramatically improved versions of our face matching and liveness algorithms, novel deep fake injection detection, while we deepen the coverage of types of credentials and documents that interoperate with our authentication products.

As a team, we're also growing and more solid than ever. We just recently had the opportunity once again to pause and reflect on our journey and discuss the future of authentication as a team in our offsite in a fantastic place called Obidos, a little medieval village built inside a castle.

As a company we continue our growth journey. We are preparing the launch of something really cool and game-changing, by integrating our biometric technology with a major well-known financial sector player with millions of users. The goal: ensure users can biometrically authenticate their banking operations and sign everything with their feet on the sand. We are also growing our volume of transactions 10x within the existing customer base.

We're ready to unlock the next stage for Youverse as a start-up, which will strongly and positively impact our ability to support our customers and partners solving their authentication challenges. More exciting news on this topic soon. Stay tuned.
