## What is CHON?

CHON is a mutual-verification identity app. Verify one another with family, friends, and groups — and prove who you are with a tamper-proof digital ID.

  ■ Mutual Authentication
  • Confirm someone's identity and group with a single QR scan.
  • Both sides verify each other — trust you can see.

  ■ Digital ID
  • A chip-protected CHON ID that can't be forged.
  • Make a separate ID for each group — family, company, club, or fandom.

  ■ Circles
  • Build verified circles for family, work, religion, and social groups.
  • Share notices, run polls, and start group calls with verified members only.

  ■ Family Tree
  • Connect your family and verify each other to keep everyone safe.
  
  ■ Safe Calls
  • When a call comes in, see the number's safety at a glance by color — based on family verification — helping prevent impersonation and voice phishing.

Added a “Recommend” feature to restaurant, café, and club membership cards — invite friends and enjoy the benefits together.
After joining a store, users can receive birthday gifts — if they provide their date of birth, the store can celebrate their birthday with them.

The voice phishing protection banner has been redesigned with clearer green/red indicators.
