Tykn
Tykn is an award-winning Dutch startup developing digital identity tools for impact. Our innovative technology allows organisations to issue cryptographically tamper-proof credentials which are verifiable anywhere, at any time. Identity owners can prove their ID to access services while remaining in full control of what personal data is viewed, shared & stored. For a while this was only possible on Smart Phones. Since we are committed to not leaving anyone behind, we are working on the technology to make this possible on Feature Phones. We envision a world where identities are portable, private and secure, so that no one has to lose access to their identity ever again.
