Toronto, Canada – TheNewswire - July 19, 2021 – Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID) / (CNSX:LQID.CN) / (OTC:LQAVF) / (FRA:4T51) (“Liquid Avatar Technologies” or the “Company”), a global blockchain, digital identity, and fintech solutions company announces an update to its corporate website to better support the previous announcements of commencement of its US trading on the OTCQB, and its business to business (B2B) Software as a Service (SaaS) initiatives and its overall marketplace strategies as it starts to demonstrate its digital verifiable credentials solutions to support businesses in their efforts to create solutions that support a wide range of authentications based on identity, access and qualification.
Liquid Avatar Technologies has developed and has started testing its state-of-the-art digital identity tools and solutions. Underpinning all of these is the Liquid Avatar Verifiable Credentials Ecosystem (“LAVCE”) that can potentially easily, efficiently, and affordably meet the needs of the app industry, travel, education, entertainment and hospitality, government, the business community, healthcare institutions and organizations looking to replace outdated username and password initiatives as they adapt to a potential environment where identity, access and qualification are essential. The Company’s SaaS program will support a wide range of Apps and proprietary business applications, easily integrating with those existing platforms without an organization having to spend considerable resources on initiating blockchain technologies and supporting infrastructure.
As part of the LAVCE, the Company is also working on programs that will potentially streamline the verification process allowing wider and faster access to networks to increase efficiencies, especially important in larger venues.
“We have been very encouraged by the interest in our B2B, SaaS programs that support our client’s programs, both as Apps and as internal platforms to ensure that they can verify and validate their users,” said David Lucatch, CEO. “Our mission is to empower users to manage and control their digital identity and by supporting all facets of the industry to implement verifiable credentials program, we can make this process more streamlined and efficient and help both individuals and organizations potentially become more safe and secure in their use of identity, access and qualification data and credentials.”
With almost 20,000 downloads, the upcoming full rollout of the KABN Visa Card and over 600 vendors on board its KABN KASH program, the Liquid Avatar Mobile app leverages biometric and blockchain identification technology and is currently available to download from the Apple App Store and on Google Play with digital credentials and wallet testing underway. While still encouraging user growth, the Company is currently revamping some of its user interface tools, features and experiences (UI / UX) based on user feedback and testing of its initial 4 phase rollout and expects that the new version of the platform will be ready for delivery prior to the end of Q3.
The Company is expecting to make further announcements on B2B product delivery in the coming weeks that are aligned with its initiatives as a founding and steering committee of Cardea, a Linux Foundation Public Health project and as part of the Indicio Network. The Company is also a voting and steering committee member of the Trust over IP Foundation, supporting open standards in the development of Internet-scale trust, a member of the Good Health Pass collaborative, ID2020, Lumedic Exchange and the DIACC. As previously described in Company filings, the LAVCE contemplates state-of-the-art infrastructure that would be available for the holder, the issuer, and the verifier in ‘turn-key’ digital credentials solutions and that would support the introduction of solutions like COVID-19 testing and vaccine ‘passports’, education, access, qualification, and a host of other digital credentials powered by blockchain and identity technology.
The new website launch also coincides with upcoming initiatives by the Company’s subsidiary Oasis Digital Studios, its talent showcases and marketplace expansion programs that the Company expects to release in the coming weeks.
On June 10, 2021, the Company announced that it had received approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange to implement an early exercise warrant incentive program (the “Program”) designed to encourage the early exercise of the Company’s 34,215,573 outstanding common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share with expiry dates ranging from November 10, 2021 to December 23, 2022 (the “Warrants”).
As this type of program is relatively new to warrant holders and the investment community, the process has required additional efforts on the part of all parties to ensure that the converting warrant holder receives both their warrant-based share and the new incentive fractional shares that represent a new issuance of securities by the Company. These factors, in combination with many financial firms still limited as to in-house resources and certain elements requiring additional resources of the Company’s transfer agent, have resulted in some delays for those wishing to take advantage of this program. As such, the Company, at its sole discretion, will continue to process, and accept further exercises under this program to the end of July. However, for those wishing to exercise for the incentive, it is advisable that they give the Company and its transfer agent, where applicable, notice by the end of business on July 29, 2021.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds received from this program to fund the continuing expansion and growth of its Liquid Avatar Mobile App, ongoing SaaS initiatives for verifiable credentials issuers and verifiers, revenue programs, and general working capital.
