Proxy

Proxy (Y Combinator, Summer 2016) was a San Francisco digital-identity startup founded by Denis Mars and Simon Ratner that built a mobile and wearable digital wallet for payments, identity, and authentication, later expanding into biometric identity verification and vaccine-credential verification. The company was acquired by OURA in 2023; the proxy.com domain no longer resolves to an active product and there is no public developer platform, API, or documentation surface to enrich. This profile is retained as a historical/acquired-company record.

Proxy is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Digital Identity, Authentication, Wearables, and Access Control.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
