Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry.  Today we are joined by Fraser Edwards who is the Co-founder & CEO of Cheqd. They also just launched their newest product - Creds. Prior to Cheqd, he led a digital identity pilot for the World Economic Forum and the Dutch and Canadian governments.

Welcome to the 158th episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on August 7th, 2023. Cheqd is building the payment infrastructure and the trust layer that enables the creation of marketplaces for trusted data. Their technology changes the current data paradigm, enabling consumers to fully own their data. They are not unique in this space but today’s episode sheds some light on why their solution is going to make a difference.
