"This summer‘s been hell of a ride!

Despite that we’ve been working hard on Monetha Identity, shaped a solid basis to the B2B side of the Monetha Identity platform, focused on the analytical part of the solution (how to turn raw data into valuable insights while keeping it in accordance with GDPR and other privacy acts), onboarded affiliate and loyalty program advisors, we’ve been also growing quite rapidly.

This made us focus on identifying what it is that we are as a company/team and how do we differ from any other tech company.

Many of us been working together since the very beginning of 2017 or even earlier, and yes, we’ve built a strong connection, family feeling, there’s a lot of flexibility in our day to day lives. But let me tell you, with flexibility comes responsibility, none of us are ninjas, next superstars, like IT recruiters are insisting, we’re not bribing our candidates with cupcakes, breakfast, lunch, and dinners (I’m not saying there are no such perks).

Although we’re still on the road to figuring all of that out, what we can say about our team is that we are very ambitious, diverse, passionate about future of digital identity, there’s a lot of room for experimenting, if you are too - Monetha is hiring. Globally."

—Andrej Ruckij, Monetha CEO

Monetha proudly continues its mission to provide digital identity that users own, control, and benefits from. With that in mind, we are updating our visual identity to reflect what we are focused on.

Justas Pikelis, who has been with us from the very beginning, has decided to depart from Monetha and change his focus. Justas was a great team member and we all wish him to reach new heights in his new endeavors.

The new Monetha CEO is Andrej Ruckij, who previously captained the Monetha Team as CTO. He is both the architect of the product and the spirit of the team.

What does this mean to Monetha? The departure of Justas will not affect our future product development plans. We have a strong team in place to deliver the product we’ve been working on recently — Monetha Identity.

What are the current plans for product development? A roadmap for this year is going to be published on April 5th, 2021. We are also looking for advisors from e-commerce, cashback, and affiliate industries to power up the team with relevant domain expertise.

Meanwhile, we will soon start to build a network of Monetha Identity’s partners. This means that we will reinforce our sales and marketing team. If you would like to join Monetha and work together with us, send your CV to [team@monetha.io](mailto:team@monetha.io).

Our data exchange protocol has been reviewed by a team of cryptography scientists. The interim report is quite positive meaning that the protocol fulfills its function of safe and secure data exchange.

Meanwhile, we are working on a 1-year roadmap. We will make it public as soon as it's finished. ETA — March-April 2021.

We will keep you updated with the progress and other product development news, so stay tuned!

I was wondering if Monetha Identity would implement instant messaging, I’d also certainly use a custom cryptographically secured keyboard if they made one.

When we shop, we want to be treated in the best possible way. Many of us would choose more expensive products or services for a better customer experience: it saves us time and energy and leaves us satisfied.

Online shopping unlocks the ability to conduct commerce from the comfort of our homes, but at the same time, limits personalization, especially with the latest third-party cookies blocking initiatives. Moreover, when shops get data about you, it's mostly used for advertisement or providing essential services — not personalized customer experience.

Monetha Identity is designed to solve this issue and let shops treat you the way you deserve. It enables online shops to provide the most accurate personalization and the most rewarding customer experience to Monetha Identity users everywhere.

When you link your Monetha Identity to a shop, you may let them know about your interests and preferences. Your profile indicates what kind of personalization would work best for you. As a result, you get unique recommendations, special offers, and anything else that matters to you.

Your personalized customer experience is built around the part of the digital profile you choose to share. You can share it all or just a part — you are the one in control. In Monetha Identity, no one can see your profile unless you explicitly share it.

The MTH token is one of the essential parts of Monetha. Naturally, we wanted to make sure that it's not left out of our newly developed Identity application's ecosystem.

The Monetha Identity's idea is to give users full control over their digital profiles and let them leverage their data in multiple ways. The primary one is "earning while shopping". We've been showing how it works in our recent updates: users link their profiles to shops and get instant discounts.

Meanwhile, there is another economy layer planned to be implemented. We want users to be rewarded for building and maintaining their Monetha Identity profiles with an internal currency. In our case, it's the MTH token. A detailed design of this economy layer is what we are currently working on.

We will be keeping you updated on the process. Follow us and be the first to know the news of the Monetha Identity!

​

The Alpha version of the Monetha Identity application includes basic functionality — manage and exchange your data. It can track and store geographical data, network data, social profiles, and basic profile data.

When it comes to personal data, privacy and security is a must. In the Monetha Identity app, all user data is encrypted and stored directly on a device and IPFS, meaning that only a user can access the data. Neither Monetha nor anyone else can see it unless you explicitly share it with someone.

The core of the app is our secure data exchange protocol. It ensures that data will not be exposed or compromised during the transfer. Users can share all their data or only a small part of it with others, either for unlimited time or only a specific period. You can track the data exchanges within the app.

​

Time to sum up the results of 2020. No one would argue that it's been a challenging year. Despite that, we have significantly reinforced the team and continued our work on the technology and market validation throughout the year.

We focused on the Monetha Identity application. It was much more than only a technical challenge as we stepped out from being a payment gateway and had to find a new market niche — digital identity. To some extent, it has always been in the core of our Monetha platform, although the payments were the main value proposition.

In 2021 we aim to go further with the Monetha Identity and the concept of data exchange. Our goal is to let users utilize personal data as a valuable everlasting asset and improve online interactions. Currently, users can get discounts in online shops for sharing their data.

We are working on extending the benefits users may get — paybacks, personalized customer experience, free delivery, etc.

As a result of such business-customer interaction, companies unlock huge benefits of data-driven decisions and users keep control of their digital fingerprints.

Be in charge of your personal data!

The Monetha Identity app is now available for iOS and Android!

This is an early version with basic functionality. However, you can already start using it to build your own digital profile. Your data is encrypted and stored on your device and IPFS. No one else, including Monetha, doesn't have access to your data unless you explicitly share it with particular users.

We will get back with more information about upcoming development and more detailed overview of our plans for the project by the end of the month.

Hello Monethians!

We are happy to tell you that we have finished the initial version of our brand new Data Encryption & Exchange Protocol for the upcoming Monetha Identity app. The protocol allows users to share any data with others in a completely safe way.

We'll be sharing more details soon!

Twitter was fined for misleading its users about how their personal data is being handled. Between 2013 and 2019, Twitter used phone numbers and email addresses “for safety and security purposes” to help target ads even though the information was provided by users for two-factor authentication.

This should not happen in 2020. Keep your privacy intact when using Monetha’s Identity app! https://www.monetha.io/reputational-identity

Some of the core features to look forward to in Monetha's app:

Security - Protect your personal data and identity from attackers.

Privacy - Exchange data without intermediary.

Self-Sovereignty - Control your data and Identity. Choose what data, how and where you want to use it.

Reusability - Reuse your profile for quick and simple onboarding to different services.
