“We are creating a new ecosystem of finance and identification. Civic Wallet is the wallet of the future. With it, it will be possible to easily store and send cryptocurrencies even to people who are not very well versed in technology. The world needs tools that lower the threshold for entry into blockchain technology, ”said Vinni Lingham, co-founder and CEO of Civic.

As explained by the company, Civic Wallet will store the minimum set of user data necessary for the procedures "know your customer" (KYC). It is also stated that although the wallet will use BitGo cryptographic storage, the latter will not have access to user data.

It is expected that the launch of the Civic Wallet will be held in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Recall that last summer, Civic acquired the identity.com domain , which should become a decentralized ecosystem for sharing user data.
