Twytch在南非推出，引入了區塊鏈可驗證的證書以解決安全問題

Twytch是非洲第一個合併區塊鏈支持身份驗證的電子出租平台，該驗證旨在確保用戶安全和保障。

Ride-hailing app Twytch has officially launched in South Africa, introducing the use of blockchain’s verifiable credentials to tackle the safety issues that plague the sector.

Twytch乘車應用程序已正式在南非啟動，引入了使用區塊鏈可驗證的證書來解決困擾該行業的安全問題。

Twytch is the first e-hailing platform in Africa to integrate blockchain technology into its identity verification process. The move is aimed at ensuring user safety and security.

Twytch是非洲第一個將區塊鏈技術集成到其身份驗證過程中的電子出租平台。此舉旨在確保用戶安全和保障。

According to Twytch, the focus on safety is paramount:

根據Twytch的說法，對安全的關注至關重要：

“The e-hailing company has partnered exclusively with Secure Citizen to implement a Verifiable Credential (VC) system for all users.

“電子出租公司已與安全公民專門合作，為所有用戶實施可驗證的憑證（VC）系統。

“Through the power of blockchain technology and verifiable credentials, we are not just enhancing safety and security; we are redefining what trust means in the e-hailing service industry. Every ride is a safe space, every interaction is verified, and every user is protected,” said Denvin Naidoo, Safety and Security Lead for Twytch Africa.

“通過區塊鏈技術和可驗證的憑證的力量，我們不僅可以增強安全性和安全性；我們正在重新定義對電子出租服務行業的信任意味著什麼。每次騎行都是一個安全的空間，每次互動都經過驗證，並且每個用戶都受到保護。” Twytch Africa的安全和安全負責人Denvin Naidoo說。

Twytch explains that verifiable credentials (VCs) are essentially secure digital versions of identity information, stored cryptographically on a decentralized blockchain, making them nearly impossible to forge or modify.

Twytch解釋說，可驗證的憑據（VC）本質上是確定性信息的確保數字版本，在分散的區塊鏈上存儲了密碼，使其幾乎無法偽造或修改。

“Unlike traditional identification methods, VCs are digital, tamper-proof, and ensure that only verified users can access the platform. The e-hailing industry in South Africa has long grappled with safety concerns, including incidents of identity fraud and crimes involving unverified users.”

“與傳統的識別方法不同，VC是數字化的，防篡改的，並確保只有經過驗證的用戶才能訪問該平台。南非的電子出租行業長期以來一直困擾著安全問題，包括身份欺詐和涉及未經證實用戶的犯罪事件。”

In addition to ride-hailing services, Twytch will also provide drivers with banking and financial solutions.

除了乘車服務外，Twytch還將為駕駛員提供銀行和金融解決方案。

“This includes vehicle insurance, retirement, death and disability benefits, wills, estate planning and financial wellness programmes. Drivers will also receive subsidised data and access to smart devices.”

“這包括車輛保險，退休，死亡和殘疾福利，遺囑，房地產計劃和財務健康計劃。駕駛員還將接收補貼的數據並訪問智能設備。”

Rodney Douglas, Twytch’s Operations Lead for Africa, announced that the platform will launch city by city starting in February 2025, beginning with Johannesburg.

Twytch在非洲的業務負責人Rodney Douglas宣布，該平台將從2025年2月開始，從約翰內斯堡開始，紐約市推出。

“It will then expand to Durban, Cape Town, and Pretoria,” he said.

他說：“然後將擴展到德班，開普敦和比勒陀利亞。”

The company’s long-term goal is to grow across South Africa and into the broader African market. Driver recruitment is already underway, with 12,500 drivers being onboarded nationwide.

該公司的長期目標是在整個南非發展並進入更廣泛的非洲市場。駕駛員招募已經在進行中，全國12,500名駕駛員正在登上。
