Litentry partners with Razor Network to provide verified data for DID Aggregator

Litentry partners with Razor Network to provide verified real-world data for our DID Aggregator

Razor Network is a decentralized oracle providing data to the smart contracts using a network of stakers. And because of that, Razor’s performance is superior and more secure than traditional centralized oracle services.

Razor x Litentry

In order to ensure that smart contracts can access reliable DID data, Litentry will employ a third party to undertake the DID data verification process. Centralized data providers provide this service, but such data is often unreliable, as the data providers are prone to data hacks and liable to single points of failure. In order to employ a trustless and transparent data procurement process, Litentry is building a Decentralized Validator Network over a Proof of Stake blockchain, which will ensure the honesty of validators with contracts executed on-chain.

Razor Network’s partnership with Litentry will allow Litentry to use the Razor Validator Network to verify data collected from multiple blockchains for their DID Aggregator.

Razor’s decentralized and blockchain agnostic oracle network provides reliable and secure real-time data feeds to fulfil various requirements of smart contracts. Validators of Razor Network lock in their RAZOR tokens as “Stake” and help enhance the network security. Honest validators are rewarded for their performance, while malicious validators and those who report incoherently face strict slashing penalties. This mechanism maintains the fidelity of the external data that is provided to DApps.

The use of Razor Validator Network will ensure the authenticity of the DID data that is being aggregated by Litentry’s protocol, irrespective of the blockchain network from which it has originated.

Quotes from Litentry and Razor Network:

Litentry

“Razor is providing trustless data for decentralized protocol and applications, We are excited to work with the Razor network, and looking forward to creating a fair and attractive mechanism for data providers to indexing identity-related data.”

— Hanwen Cheng, Litentry CEO

Razor Network

“Litentry is fulfilling a crucial role in the blockchain industry today. With identity data being scattered over multiple blockchain protocols, Litentry aggregates all this information in one place and ensures that the user experience of identity management on DApps is as seamless as on Web2.0. We look forward to helping Litentry on this journey by verifying the authenticity of the data that Litentry aggregates. Growing together with projects which share a similar vision with Razor has been one of our primary goals, and Litentry fits the bill perfectly.”

Hrishikesh Huilgolkar, Razor Oracle Network CEO.
