Archethic is a layer-one blockchain that promises to secure accounts by tying them to a cryptographically secured version of one's fingerprint. In doing so, Archethic wants to provide access to all technologies with the touch of a finger while simultaneously protecting one's identity. Archethic aims to outperform other layer-one blockchains by providing faster validation times and higher scalability while embedding biometry to make it tamper-proof and secure. The team claims to have four years of research and twelve international patents as proof of its expertise, and its mission is to give people back control over technology and their identity. Envisioned use cases are decentralized identities, secure health records, programmable fintech, smart cities, and end-to-end e-commerce. It has a highly ambitious roadmap that outlines plans for a range of uses including implementing its blockchain in supply chain management in 2022, assisting mobility and public transportation services in 2023; proof of identity for the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024; and, finally, for biometric payments and to secure medical records after 2025....
