[AstroX: building Web3 Identity Service for 8 billion users]

[AstroX: Update #2: A look into Agent-dart, AstroX ME and beyond]

Hello everyone, this is the 5th weekly report of AstroX ME.

Big events

On September 16, we were invited to participate in the “Internet Computer On-chain Ecology and Developer Summit” jointly organized by ICPL and DFINITY. AstroX co-founder Michael So gave a product demonstration at the summit, introduced the product’s future and the AstroX ME identity service, explained the developer-friendly mobile development tool Agent_dart, and separately demonstrated the new product “TACHIKOMA,” which was a great success. Michael also participated in the roundtable.

Presentation of TACHIKOMA

“TACHIKOMA” is an on-chain Mini-DApp container protocol that can carry DApps on Internet Computers and support them running on mobile clients. Imagine that you can experience all kinds of Internet Computer DApps on your mobile phone in the near future — — just as convenient, fast, and smooth as we usually use Mini-APP. With the identity service supported by AstroX ME, users who do not support biometrics on their own devices and do not have Yubikey verification hardware can freely explore DApps in the DFINITY ecosystem. TACHIKOMA will take on the responsibility of bringing Web2 users to Web3.
