The Open Rights Exchange (ORE) — built by the Open Rights (OR) Foundation — is designed to enable billions of people around the world to use blockchain applications for the first time within the next five years. Users will easily be able to control their identity, assets, and rights across various on-chain and off-chain applications — with a single universal account. This universal account will be able to create and manage wallets on multiple blockchains. Each users’ universal account on ORE will also have the ability to manage their accounts on the centralized web. Next-generation applications, built using the ORE Protocol, will seamlessly connect users’ assets and rights across different blockchains, with the legacy internet and traditional financial infrastructure. The barriers between the decentralized world and the centralized world will melt away. Your Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) portfolios will be able to connect to the same identity that consumers use to log in to their bank accounts. By sharing identities with Web 2.0 applications, the ORE Protocol — and applications built on top of it — can connect the mass market of consumers to a wide variety of blockchain applications.
