For verifying its users, Synq uses a liveness check where a user is asked to present themselves and an AI checks if they are a real person. In the social network platform a user can post pictures, videos, share their location using an MGPS system, make calls and livestream.

It is a product of Trust Grid, who’s products include D-TAK, a security platform for military, law enforcement and disaster response.
