That's ~1 - 2 transactions in every single block. 📈
People claim that nobody uses dapps, but Bloom just passed more than 250,000 BloomIDs and is a top 100 iOS utility. 🚀

A Fight Over the Credit Score Lenders Use for Your Mortgage: 90% of US loans are controlled by FICO. The majority of other scores are controlled by VantageScore, which is owned by the Big 3 Credit Bureaus. It's time for a non-monopoly/non-government score!
Today, we are excited to announce that over half a million people have created a BloomID on the Bloom protocol, making Bloom the largest decentralized identity platform in the world!
We are incredibly thrilled to open source our smart contracts in advance of the Phase 1 launch on Mainnet tomorrow! This marks a big milestone on our long term roadmap.

The experience with credit bureaus after identity theft is comically bad! Sites don't work, if you call "expected wait time is more than two hours", and in every interaction you get the feeling they just don't care. Anyone know of a startup trying to fix this/replace the system?
