DIDs and VCs: The Building Blocks of Self-Sovereign Identity
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are crucial components of self-sovereign identity (SSI) protocols. They empower individuals and organizations to own, control, and share their digital identities securely and privately without relying on centralized authorities.

>DIDs
DIDs are globally unique identifiers that are created and controlled by the identity owner independently. They are registered on a distributed ledger or a blockchain, ensuring immutability and tamper-resistance.

>VCs
VCs are digital attestations of certain attributes or qualifications issued by a trusted party. They can be cryptographically signed and verified, allowing users to share and prove specific information without disclosing unnecessary personal details.

Both DIDs and VCs are integral to SSI, as they promote privacy, security, and user autonomy in the digital world, reducing the risks of data breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized data sharing.

> Upcoming Regulatory Changes: eIDAS and MIDAS
Two significant regulatory changes—the revised eIDAS (electronic Identification, Authentication, and Trust Services) regulation and the introduction of MIDAS (Market Integrity Directive and its accompanying Regulation)—are expected to impact the identity and crypto industries.

eIDAS is an EU regulation that establishes a legal framework for electronic identification and trust services. The updated eIDAS regulation will include provisions for decentralized identity solutions, which will help streamline digital identity management and enable secure cross-border transactions within the EU.

MIDAS aims to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto-assets and their service providers. It will impose stricter requirements for identity verification, anti-money laundering (AML), and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) measures, which will affect digital identity and crypto-asset businesses.

>DID infrastructure Projects
DID Projects with tokens.

>CHEQD
The cheqd protocol provides a decentralized, privacy-preserving digital identity solution. Its native token, CHEQ, is used for governance and to pay for identity-related services within the ecosystem.

>KILT
KILT is a blockchain-based protocol for issuing and verifying credentials in a decentralized, self-sovereign manner. The KILT Coin (KILT) is the platform's utility token, used for staking, governance, and transactions within the network.


tldr; DID/VC is needed in order for DeFi to survive the coming regulation. forced, government-driven adoption = 1000x narrative this cycle.

didnt that rug?

[Anonymous No.56771249]

Why would this tech be adopted though? Glowies dont want decentralized ID and normies dont care.

Glowies would only adopt it if people kicked and screamed for it but not enough people ever will.
