Digital Identity

Leading the new Web3 Digital Identity revolution.

What are your thoughts on @ensdomains's Namechain announcement and its role/opportunities in the web3 identity space?

Interested in everyone's thoughts but tagging some folks I know are deep in the (identity) trenches. @mane @eulerlagrange.eth @humpty @katzman

So many identity & reputation solutions so started breaking down the various dimensions on which one can compare them. Params such as
privacy
security
scalability
user control
decentralisation

Any standard frameworks one can refer? Or may be an identity trilemma (similar to the blockchain trilemma ) ?
Sad to see TBD go. This was a very bold bet by Jack Dorsey and Dan Buchner. Happily they are donating many of their cool artifacts to the Decentralized ID Foundation (DIF). https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/08/jack-dorsey-dramatically-shutters-blocks-tbd-crypto-unit.html
One of my colleagues uncovered this - answer to an FAQ about an indian government identity solution (Digi Yatra) : enables seamless KYC & faster security checks on airports etc.

🐂 signs.
If you could easily spin up a Farcaster digital twin of your account would you prefer feeding your revealed self (scrape your cast history), or stated self (answer questions about your preferences)?
So many identity solutions launched in the last 2 years- hardly any took off. Know a few that shut down as well

The core reason i could figure out was building just the infra & not identifying business critical use cases of today where the infra will be used ( just the protocol not a client like warpcast)

Thoughts?
Yo! Thanks @thecap.eth for tuning me into this space! Excited to start sharing thoughts here as I ponder about where we want to take Basenames next.

For starters, check out this draft ENSIP I'm circulating right now. We're calling it Multiaddress Resolution: https://github.com/stevieraykatz/multiaddress-resolver/tree/main
Been away for a while. Not sure what happened with channels and permissions but they changed. I added some folks, who have been posting here regularly, to be mods in case I miss something. If anyone knows, let me know in the DMs how to I enable everyone to be able to post because I don't think we get too much spam.
Have you seen your non web3 friends care about bots & proof of humanity ?

Been speaking to my broader friend circle & while everyone's a bit on the edge due to gen AI, hardly any one think its a pressing problem to solve today..
Curious what other casters think about Personhood Credentials?

What do you guys think about this approach of being use case first when defining a digital identity stack?

Imo so many protocol teams here but no one has really cracked a viral use case to get real adaption.

We are building this out so fascinating to see @vitalik.eth talk about this in parallel.
@sayangel is facilitating an open social graph where anyone can attest to the results of verification systems like /bot-or-not 👏 👏 👏

While writing about the decentralized identity landscape I struggled to keep the more philosophical thoughts out of my head. Wrote this as my observation about the space, and why it exists

All you might want to know about what we're doing, on one webpage.

We'd love to find out what you make of it.

Here in /digitalidentity or in /addresso.

What do you think?
Yesterday we talked on X with @brantly.eth about our point of view on the identity stack.

In my opinion, reputation is part of identity stack that brantly.eth discussed at EthCC. I will explain in this thread 🧵

Defining one’s true self is not simple, maybe impossible. We express many different versions of a changing self

Digital identity must be able to create a new way of being in each moment
Probably not surprising to anyone, but irl events are the best proof of personhood.
One of the best identity talks I’ve heard this year that summarizes identity space so far, by @dcbuilder 👏
