Background and strategic fit

Wallet services today hold keys because there is no standardized way to give financial institutions regulatory air cover. Users should be able to create an identity, and use this identity to meet the regulatory requirements, such that users can keep their own keys to their wallets. Identity will evolve into credit formation. Individuals can establish credit based upon the trust that an individual has built.
