Binance Co-Founder Yi He will lead the company’s $7.5B venture capital arm Binance Labs.
Support for Visual Digital Identity Platform
Lifeform, a visual digital identity (DID) solutions provider, secured support from Binance Labs, the venture capital arm and accelerator of Binance.
As posted on the Binance Blog, Binance Labs led a seed funding round for Lifeform, whose mission is to empower Web3 users by providing them with their own decentralized DID.
The funding round will provide Lifeform with the ability to accelerate its product development and innovation strategies. This will include security mechanisms and acquisition of more strategic partnerships to grow out their offerings.
“As users migrate from Web2 to Web3, their online presence will transition from digital simulation to digital-native,” said Mia Mai, Investment Director at Binance Labs. “The underlying technology of Lifeform gives users a unique way to express their individuality and will eventually allow users to seek their vision of prosperity in a symbiotic ecosystem.”
Lifeform launched in 2021 and has been working on DID since 2018 with the aim of bridging the physical world with the digital realm. The company’s core technologies include:
Hyper-realistic 3D avatar creation tools;
Visual DID protocols;
Secure and innovative contract solutions;
Decentralized identity systems for Web3 avatars; and
Metaverse engine software development kits (SDKs).
Lifeform has built out a turnkey solution that will also give users the ability to bring their digitally created avatars onto Web2 social media platforms.
“As users migrate from Web2 to Web3, their online presence will transition from digital simulation to digital-native,” said Lily Fang, a founder of Lifeform.
