Civic blockchain
Civic’s model allows for on-demand, secure and lower cost access to identity verification via the blockchain. Background and personal information verification checks may no longer need to be undertaken from the ground up every time a new institution or application requires one. Civic already has a working identity verification product that is available worldwide. Civic has won Best New Startup award at the K(NO)W Identity Conference 2017.
ICO
Civic decided that they want to attract the widest possible audience to their ICO. Therefore, unlike most companies preparing for the ICO, Civic made the initial offer of their tokens completely open and public, at the same time setting a limit on the maximum purchase amount for both crowdsale and pre-sale. This restriction allowed small buyers to take part in the ICO on an equal footing with all rights, which contributed to the wide dissemination of information and reduced the influence of speculative buyers.
ICO start date: 2017-06-22

Intel’s Security
According to the information on the Civic website, in order to provide additional protection, the company enters into a partnership with the manufacturer of electronic devices and computer components Intel. Representatives of the startup believe that the simultaneous use of blockchain technology and Intel — Software Guard Extensions technology will give good results.
According to Intel, SGX technology is a set of new instructions that can be used by applications to isolate personal information. This includes registration data, storing and verifying that can be done without exposing them to the risk of transmission in tangible form or sending via insecure Internet connection.
CVC token
CVC is an Ethereum-based token that is used by service providers to obtain information about the user. Therefore, organizations use the CVC token as a means of payment. The system of smart contracts further provides for the transfer of funds from service providers to validators and owners of individuals (users).
Civic CVC tokens will be used to perform transactions in services associated with IDV. CVC paid by the transaction is distributed to the validator and the user as a reward for sharing information. The more use for CVC, the more valuable the tokens are.
