Fighting the epidemic together: bithelp public welfare platform and GreenPass reached a strategic cooperation
Bithelp has reached a strategic cooperation with GreenPass, a pioneer in the use of blockchain to combat the spread of the epidemic, and has joined hands in the field of “blockchain + charity” to assume broader social responsibilities. This cooperation will not only provide the funds and materials needed to fight the epidemic, but also export anti-epidemic prevention and control capabilities to countries around the world —GreenPass driven by blockchain technology can effectively help the society resume work and production, faster promote the development of blockchain technology in the field of global public welfare.
Han Feng, the co-founder of Elastos, said, “The cooperation between the ecological project of Elastos — GreenPass and Bithelp is not only to support the global anti-epidemic charity, but also the first step in the data capitalization movement. In the future, it will be possible to confirm the rights of the health data of all mankind, and to protect the privacy of everyone, so that the world can communicate with each other in line with universal values, and the communication will not cause large-scale privacy data leakage. ”
GreenPass is a personal health data management application developed by the Elastos DMA team. On the premise of fully protecting personal data privacy, it can provide users with practical functions such as personal data recording, access control with health status, team management, and appointment services. The application uses Elastos DID sidechain + eIDLedger and other technologies to record data or data hash on the blockchain and associate it with a personal ID. All data associated with the ID will confirm its ownership. GreenPass is an important part of the future LEO on Elastos platform that inline with the data capitalization movement.
When the user needs to enter the public area, the health code can be shown to the inspector, and the inspector uses the same application to scan the health code. When the lab test result, body temperature and travel information are within the normal range, the green color code is displayed for access. If the code becomes yellow or red, it means there may be a problem with one data item, and you need to pay attention to that data. GreenPass users can also make an appointment to enter the public area by sharing their health status in advance.
“This completely simplifies the process, reduces the risk of close contact, and more importantly, the platform does not own any user’s data.” Xin Weimin, founder of the DMA team, said. Therefore, unlike centralized solutions, the GreenPass platform cannot use data without user’s permission.
From the inception of the idea of creating GreenPass, to now launching a number of practical functions, the DMA team has always been working on iteration and optimization day and night, dedicating to the global efforts on fighting against the epidemic and economy reopen. GreenPass also took into account the needs of many requirements on integrating its epidemic mitigation and reopen assistant capabilities into any existing solutions and applications. The team quickly launched the GreenPass open platform and APIs (Application Programming Interface), allowing third-party applications to quickly achieve seamless integration. GreenPass took the lead in completing the integration with a domestic metro app in China. The GreenPass API integrated “Metro” is a passenger oriented metro mobile app with full coverage of all metro lines and the potential to reach 80 millions of people daily.
GreenPass is currently in the stage of global promotion and adoption, especially in-depth cooperation with various international organizations, government agencies, business groups, school institutions, and community organizations. GreenPass is advancing cooperation with a university in the United States to solve the urgent need for epidemic prevention and control in the scene of students returning to school. GreenPass is also currently communicating plans with many international organizations including the United Nations. Its positioning based on global personal DID and personal health data management is in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. It is expected to play an useful role in epidemic prevention and economy reopen for some third world countries and global public welfare organizations.
