Inside Matchain’s Vision: Insights from CEO Petrix Barbosa

Insights from Petrix Barbosa’s recent AMA with Gate.io, and where the network is heading next.

You spoke. We heard you. It’s true, TGE didn’t go the way many of us hoped. Launches rarely do. But this isn’t the end of the story. It’s the start of what we build together.

“We’re not building hype. We’re building systems people actually need.”

—Petrix Barbosa

A network built for choice, not control

Matchain connects today’s platforms with tomorrow’s economies—where you decide who gets access to your data, when, and on what terms.

“The core objective of Matchain is to build the sovereignty identity and data chain for users and real-world applications.”

MatchID is already live. You can choose what to share, what to keep private, and how to engage. No buried settings. No passive tracking. Just tools that put you in charge.

$MAT powers the network. Every step.

Every interaction on Matchain runs through $MAT.
When someone wants access to your data? They commit $MAT to a smart contract.
You review the offer and choose whether to accept.

“$MAT is the global data currency. It’s how an AI model, brand, or football club reaches you to make an offer. But you always choose whether to accept.” —Petrix Barbosa

It’s simple. It’s direct. And it’s already working.

How MatchID uses blockchain and AI to give you control over your data

MatchID is your digital identity dashboard.It connects your Web2 logins, wallets, and online activity into one profile—secured by blockchain, shaped by AI, and fully controlled by you.

No forced verification. No hidden data deals.
You see your digital footprint. You decide when and how it’s used.

Your data. Your call. That’s what MatchID makes possible.

Used by leaders. Running at scale.

“We are the exclusive digital identity partner of PSG—currently the best football club in the world with over 550 million fans.”

Matchain is fully operational, with momentum to prove it:

• 1.9M+ verified users
• 500M+ transactions
• Active campaigns with global brands
• Partner network reaching nearly 1 billion users

Built to last, and already delivering

“I didn’t want Matchain to be based on speculation. We've built products that work.” —Petrix Barbosa

The focus isn’t on short-term hype. It’s on building real tools that people use, and come back to.
MatchID is already doing that job. And we are still so early.

What we’re building

• A network that respects consent
• A protocol designed around user sovereignty
• Infrastructure that creates value every day, whether or not anyone’s watching

‍

Forget the noise. Remember the mission.

The signal is clear. The tools are live.

Now it’s on us to use them.

Let’s build the internet we actually want to be part of.
