User-Controlled Credit Identities (MIT Media Lab - Digital Currency Initiative)
Nov 2016 - Current (9 years 10 months)
In this project, we develop a toolkit that enables consumers in East Africa to knit together a credit identity from across a variety of data silos. We will then develop a blockchain-enabled back end infrastructure that empowers our target users to leverage the data generated from these devices in an open marketplace of credit lenders, in a "credit bureau of the 21st century."
