Clear Sparrow allows the anonymous exchange of verifiable (3rd party) background data between 2 people before or during a date with the click of a button.

Business models like Clear Sparrow's are now possible for the first time thanks to the data integrity, transaction audibility, and transparency features of Blockchain and the speed, scalability, and affordability of BSV.
