Hey UTU Trust Guardians!

Our newly-redesigned website is now live! Check it out here: https://utu.io/

We believe this better explains everything that UTU is and will be to our potential B2B customers, investors, community members, and anyone looking to learn more. And we think it looks awesome too! :)

We are still optimizing the site for mobile, so it's best viewed on desktop for now.

Please let us know what you think of the new design!

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with @Kardiachain to launch our trust infra on their blockchain!

We will work together in various ways:

-Deploying our Trust API for many industries KardiaChain is building for, such as decentralized ID, supply chain, and more
-Integrating UTU’s credit scoring models into DeFi and TradFi apps built on KardiaChain
-Cross-chain interoperability using Kardiachain’s Dual Node technology

Our CCO Mike Chan recently had to search for a new dentist for his daughter and realized how much UTU could have helped.

He talks about it in our latest YouTube video here:

We are excited to announce that we've partnered with Hypersign to integrate our Trust API into their decentralized ID protocol!

Read more here:
https://medium.com/utu-trust/utu-and-hypermine-partner-to-enhance-digital-trust-identity-access-management-7c6d8fffbf6

Our Trust API will analyze the activity of Hypersign users (eg website logins, purchases, etc) and assign trust scores based on these actions.

These trust scores will allow other users and providers to make better decisions on whether to verify and engage with these entities.

🚨 UTU Trust Guardians! 🚨

We are excited to announce that the UTU Trust API v1 is now live in production!

We see a vision of the internet being a safer, more trusted place to gather, share, work, and trade.

And the launch of the Trust API gets us one step closer.

Read this post to learn more about:
-How the Trust API helps solve the problem of fake reviews, and helps us trust more like we do in the real world
-The benefits of the Trust API to end users and businesses
-How the combo of the Trust API and UTU Protocol will create an ecosystem of trust that cuts across every sector and border

Since it’s an backend API, we can’t really show you anything right now, but we will have a demo video very soon. Stay tuned.

Thank you for your support!

Hello UTU Trust Guardians!

We are excited to announce that we’ve partnered with DefiCliq to support the mission to democratize the lending space.

DefiCliq will integrate UTU’s creditworthiness API to allow borrowers who would otherwise be underserved to access loans with lower collateral amounts.

What this means:
➡️ For the borrower, higher borrowing capacity and an improved user experience.
➡️ For the lender, fewer loan defaults, increased uptake.
