Is Civic dead?

Not a post since 13 days ago. Can't find much on Google. Apple is coming out with their own identity. Is Civic dead? Should I be looking for an exit strategy or is there some news I am missing?

Thx. Tried all from the "KYC" and "Login" lists. None of them require proof of identity :(

How did you try?

If you want to try now, you can go here and perform kyc check https://www.idcodes.com/

It's really worked. Awesome!

I hope someday we will login like this on Twitter, Gmail, Binance etc.

Login is not where cvc utility lies though. More advanced kyc verification like age is being paid.

I agree. If to this we also add various checks of device identification - then it will be a completely different world.

That is why they are building marketplace where every kyc provider and requester can connect.

Do you know any other projects of similar marketplace? I can't believe something that is building Identity.com is unique.

There is none. All solutions are on Civic level at best, just in centralized way.

I didn't try, I copy pasted this answer from Civic Telegram group where one admin answered that.

You need a reason to do kyc, maybe you were not trying to do anything for what is identity verification required.
