Web3 and Decentralized Identity

Digital identity is who you are in the digital world, and you should be able to control your own identity. In a world where Big Tech controls data on millions of its users, how do we claim our digital identities?

Self-sovereign identity gives people the control over their identities by empowering them as intermediaries of identity-related transactions. People are the platform, not Big Tech or governments.

Decentralized identity leverages technologies like blockchain and token-based economy to ensure that the identity infrastructure is not controlled by a few companies. Despite the decentralized infrastructure, federated identity enables identity information to be easily aggregated, processed, and available to use for good.

Personalized identity individualizes the sharing of identity information (e.g. selective disclosure) based on different people's needs and sharing contexts. Secure identity makes sure that the access to identity information will be more secure, authenticated, and accountable. And lastly, intelligent identity helps streamline identity management.
