We are about to redefine how we perceive and validate online identity and reputation. It’s not just a hackathon… it’s the start of a new wave for web3 and a network of partner builders! The thesis The next generation of networks will be self-sovereign: instead of having to re-create your identity inside each platform or network, we will keep our data at the account level and travel across digital landscapes with our profile and all our interaction histories. Beyond interoperability, ownership and freedom, this new generation of networks will be exponentially more intelligent and useful, while preserving our privacy. Imagine a world where a like on social media increases your ranking on an NFT market. Imagine applications where you can instantly trust strangers online without knowing their name. To enable this, we need tools, pipelines... Building the ramps for this decentralized future
