First project selected: Ziplo
Ziplo – a solution developed by Aurélie Drouvin, Florian Dupuis, Clément Egger and Antony Boulet – aims to simplify the recording and securing of data that can be shared with identified third parties according to predefined conditions, without direct access to the data itself. Ziplo wants to use Web3 to ensure complete data security for its customers.
Ziplo was the winning solution at the Web3 Business Hackathon organized last June by H7 and iExec.
