I'm trying to understand, what makes you different than Datawallet who is also launching their ico very soon.
We are based in Switzerland, where data protection standards were always held high.
The backbone of VALID is Procivis AG, a company that is working on government-trusted digital identity solutions since 2016.
Providing real trusted identities has been our focus ever since.
That’s why the Swiss Canton of Schaffhausen is also running a pilot project with us (
see in detail).
Furthermore, Procivis has a full pipeline of international projects that will be announced in due course.
The marketplace is only one aspect of the VALID ecosystem. Besides of being able to sell our aggregated data, you can also use VALID to securely and seamlessly authenticate yourself.
Another aspect is: With the GDPR regulation coming, every company that is active in the EU has to hand over all the data they collect of you in a machine-readable form, if requested to do so.
That means from May 2018 on every person in the EU can own and use their data in their own way. (

VALID will provide the tool, with just a few clicks, for users to request their data from corporations that are processing and collecting it, thereby allowing them to resell onwards.
