UTU Trust Guardians,
Welcome to the August 2021 edition of the UTU Update!
Let’s jump right into the recap!
You can view the UTU Update in video form here:
Tech and Product Updates
We’ve made great progress on a number of projects in the works.
First, we’re putting the finishing touches on Milestone 1 for the Ocean Protocol integration.
We’re about to release an updated version of our DeFi Portal, which will contain the initial trust signals for Ocean data assets. We’ve also conducted some user interviews to refine the signals that we’re showing there.
We’re also making good progress on porting the UTU Trust Token smart contract to Ethereum, and we’re working on its oracle integration.
On the API side, we’ve mostly focused on helping clients with integrating the UTU Trust SDK and APIs. We’ll see concrete results of this shortly.
We’re also about to release improvements to the Trust SDK, making Angular, Vue and plain Javascript integrations work more smoothly.
Finally, we’ve extended our M-PESA Parser API to be able to process business statements, in addition to personal ones. This will enable Kenyan businesses to easily pull data from business statements for use in credit scoring and analysis (including our Creditworthiness API).
Partnership with Big Data Protocol
We’ve partnered with Big Data Protocol to integrate our Trust API into the BDP Data Market!
First, we will work together to integrate the UTU Trust API on BDP Data Market to create trust signals for and personalized curation of data providers, buyers, and datasets to increase conversions.
Secondly, we will explore ways to use the Trust API to automate BDP’s data provider vetting process.
Lastly, we will explore ways to share data between the two protocols. Data from BDP’s ecosystem of over 16,500 professional data providers can be leveraged for the UTU protocol to improve our trust models.

Partnership with Numio
We also partnered with Numio to list UTU Coin on their mobile wallet app!
UTU Coin has been listed on the Numio Layer 1 wallet, and will eventually be listed on the Layer 2 wallet.
UTU and Numio will also investigate how Numio Identity and UTU’s trust infrastructure can be integrated to increase the level of trust in apps where these products are deployed.
