Blockchain-Powered Social Media Platform RepMe Forms Comprehensive Partnership with SelfKey & KYC-Chain: RepMe is an exciting new Social Media platform that uses distributed ledger technology to provide individuals with a better way of networking. One vital component, which mainstream Social Media platforms fail to deliver, is identity verification. As a result, fraudulent accounts wreak havoc, often to the detriment of normal, every-day users. RepMe aims to change that. With the help of KYC-Chain’s compliance software, RepMe will quickly verify a users identity, allowing the network to trust in the legitimacy of its members. (Link)
