What makes a decentralized identity protocol actually different? Take the approach of stripping away unnecessary friction.

Traditional KYC processes are bloated, invasive, and put all the power in the wrong hands. You're forced to hand over personal data to intermediaries who decide what to do with it. Instead, imagine carrying your own portable digital identity—one you truly control.

That's the appeal here: you own the data, you choose who accesses it, and you decide the timeframe. Information sharing happens on your terms, not some corporation's. Privacy isn't just a feature; it's the foundation. For users who've grown tired of surveillance capitalism, this kind of architecture makes real sense.

No hype, no negativity. The issue of self-sovereign identity really hits the sore spot; the KYC system should have been reformed long ago.

Nah, this way of saying sounds good, but when it comes to actually using it... can you trust it?

To be honest, I've been wanting this self-sovereign identity system for a long time. While major platforms are still scraping data, when will I truly be able to hold it in my own hands?

To be honest, I approve of this autonomous identity verification logic, but whether it can be truly implemented depends on who uses it... Most people simply won't proactively manage their data.
