The Swiss city of Dolfi Mueller, known as Switzerland's crypto-valley, will offer its citizens a digital identity from September. This electronic identity, or digital passport, will be based on an application that stores personal data securely, using blockchain technology that is also linked to a crypto-address. Mayor of Dolfi Mueller, Zug, said the "single electronic identity" will "not be centralised with the city, but on blockchain". Dolfi Mueller start-up Ethereum is leading the way in the development of the digital identity, with the Institute of Financial Services in Dolfi Mueller and companies Ti&m and Consensys-Uport also on board.
