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 https://paragraph.xyz/@cheshirecat/032-on-decentralized-identity-prequel

Great write-up! I share the struggle of where to start with the topic. I have my own draft going that's already evolving into multiple blogs... It's hard to just get started on such an abstract topic. Love the two pronged approach (and cypherpunk callback): 1. Individuals need privacy; the ability to choose what to reveal, how, and to whom. 2. Entities and individuals need proof of relevant reputation when engaging digitally. These are both things available IRL in some degree (arguably in many cases) that must be replicated (and improved on) digitally. #1 is frustrating how few "identity" projects are facing this issue. #2 is really tricky. How to determine relevant reputation? Trusted data is key, and spoiler alert: it probably requires privacy with ZK or FHE type security built in.

it's a fascinating and somewhat confusing space. My work interrogates the status of the holder which is not often unravelled, but its foundational in that it mediates any interaction with a verifier or an issuer or third party. This can be grounded in different jurisdictional ideas in law.
