[Blockchain Today Correspondent Jang Myeong-gwan] ICONLOOP (CEO Kim Jong-hyeop), a representative block chain company in Korea, announced on the 8th that it will introduce a ‘corona 19 vaccination information service’ in its blockchain DID identity authentication app ‘Tup’.
The DID-based ‘Corona 19 Vaccination Information Service’, which will be launched as ‘Twp’, is a service that allows users to safely store and manage their vaccination information confirmed by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).
