We're thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Dock. This collaboration  marks a significant step towards creating a future where biometric authentication is not  only secure but also private. 

Dock is a leader in decentralized identity solutions, empowering businesses to launch  ID ecosystems where their partners can create, share, and monetize verifiable digital  credentials. By creating an ID ecosystem, companies accelerate customer data  matching, boost onboarding and transaction speeds, and enhance overall business  efficiency. Dock offers a complete solution with a robust API, an intuitive web app, and  secure ID wallet infrastructure, delivering everything needed for decentralized identity  management. 

The combination of Youverse’s privacy-preserving biometric technology with Dock's  powerful verifiable credential capabilities will enable relying parties within closed  ecosystems to securely verify consumer data, ensuring that sensitive information  remains under the sole control of its rightful owner. Leveraging Youverse's privacy-first  architecture, any ecosystem participant using Dock will now be able to verify credential  data that is biometrically bound to an individual's unique biometric without ever  exposing the underlying biometric information, which remains securely owned by the  user's device. 

Together, Youverse and Dock are setting a new standard for secure, private, and user controlled biometric authentication.  

“Dock and Youverse are a powerful combination, disrupting the landscape of identity  technology.” says Pedro Torres, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Youverse.  “I'm thrilled to witness the birth of a pioneering solution that merges privacy-preserving  identity credentials with privacy-preserving biometrics, made available at scale for any  ecosystem.” adding that “this partnership ensures that all credentials are securely  bound to biometric identifiers (meaning that digital identities are safe and secure with credentials only accessible to their owners) while ensuring each user is in full control of  both their biographical and biometric data.”
