Spring Labs is the company building out the spring protocol, a network designed to allow network participants, such as financial institutions, to share information about data, such as credit and identity data, without needing to share the underlying data itself. They allow institutions to directly share information among themselves to verify identities and reduce fraud - all while protecting consumer data. Spring Labs uses an attestation-based approach reducing the risk and severity of data breaches for financial institutions and consumers. The Spring Protocol separates data ownership from data value, allowing competitively-sensitive parties to exchange information directly and in a fundamentally new way. Spring Labs was founded in 2017 and is based in Marina Del Rey, California, United States.
