Web3 Identity
Also known as: Decentralized Identity, Self-Sovereign ID, Blockchain Identity
A self-sovereign identity system based on blockchain that allows users to own and control their digital credentials.
Web3 identity refers to a decentralized approach to digital identity where individuals own and manage their credentials on the blockchain without relying on centralized authorities. These identities are often tied to crypto wallets and enhanced by NFTs, verifiable credentials (VCs), and decentralized identifiers (DIDs). Web3 identity enables portable logins, reputation scores, social graphs, and access control across dApps. It’s essential for DAO voting, Sybil resistance, and user personalization in Web3 platforms. Projects like ENS, Lens Protocol, and Ceramic are key players in the decentralized identity space.
