At The Flip App, we’re constantly listening to your feedback and working to make crypto transactions even easier and more accessible. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of FlipID, a brand-new feature designed to give you more privacy, flexibility, and control over your transactions.
This update comes in response to one of the most popular requests from our community: an alternative to phone-number-based transactions. While many of you love the convenience of sending crypto to a phone number, we understand that there are times when you’d prefer to keep your phone number private. With FlipID, now you can.
What is FlipID?
FlipID is a randomly generated, unique identifier that resembles the format of a phone number, ensuring a streamlined and familiar experience for users. However, it’s important to note that FlipID has no phone functionality. It is purely generated for use within The Flip App ecosystem, designed exclusively to facilitate secure and private crypto transactions.
Here’s how it works:
- When registering, you can choose to create a FlipID instead of using your phone number.
- Once set up, your FlipID becomes your new address for receiving funds. Just share your FlipID with the sender, and you’re good to go.
Why FlipID?
1. Privacy Matters
FlipID empowers you to transact without sharing personal details like your phone number. It’s perfect for those moments when privacy is key.
2. Same Ease, More Options
Whether you’re sharing a phone number or a FlipID, the experience remains seamless. The choice is yours!
3. Security You Can Trust
FlipID maintains the same level of security as all Flip App features. And because it’s non-custodial, you stay in complete control of your assets.
A Crucial Reminder
If you’ve registered with a FlipID, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
- Store Your FlipID Securely: This is your unique identifier for receiving funds.
- Back Up Your FlipID Password: You’ll need it to access your account.
- Don’t Forget Your 12-Word Phrase: As always, this is your private key and critical for account recovery.
Together, these three elements – your FlipID, FlipID password, and 12-word phrase – form the foundation of your account’s security.
Why We Built FlipID
FlipID is the result of your feedback. Many of you told us how much you appreciate the simplicity of phone-number-based transactions, but you also wanted a way to transact privately when needed. We heard you loud and clear, and FlipID is our answer to that.
By adopting the familiar format of a phone number, FlipID keeps the user experience intuitive while maintaining its core functionality as a secure identifier within The Flip App ecosystem. It’s privacy, reimagined.
At The Flip App, our mission is to make crypto accessible to everyone while staying true to the principles of privacy and user control. FlipID takes us one step closer to achieving that vision.
