We are living in an era of digital identity fragmentation. You have one persona on Twitter, another on Discord, your developer identity on GitHub, and you need to re-verify your identity when participating in DAO voting. This cross-platform identity disconnection prevents our on-chain achievements and contributions from truly accumulating.

Some teams are trying to solve this problem. By using Decentralized Identifiers (DID) technology, your identity can be integrated from a fragmented state into a truly portable on-chain identity. The core idea is clear:

First is identity unification—you are you, and this identity is universal across the entire Web3 ecosystem, eliminating the need for repeated verification. Next is contribution visualization—using a badge system to turn your contributions on various platforms into displayable and verifiable honor records. Plus, an experience points system makes your activity level and engagement depth quantifiable.

This identity solution has practical significance for the Web3 community and DAO governance—participants' historical records become traceable, and the ecosystem can recognize genuine contributors.

ngl this is what Web3 should be doing, the identity should have been unified long ago I really don't understand why we still need to verify repeatedly on different platforms, it's such a hassle If the badge system is implemented, then those who truly contribute will be recognized DID technology, once implemented, can change a lot of patterns Wait, does this mean privacy is exposed... anyone can check my on-chain records Valuing contributions is so key, finally someone understands the pain points of DAO governance But honestly, the current plan still needs to be gradually improved If it really gets rolled out, those fake accounts and trolls will have no place to hide haha Anyway, my identity is scattered everywhere now, who remembers what you did before

Sounds good, but what about the health factor? Once this system is attacked, the entire on-chain identity would be directly liquidated, right?

ngl this is exactly what I've been wanting, stop asking me about my identity ten times

ngl this is exactly what I've been wanting. Switching identities across platforms is really exhausting. --- DID has been long overdue. We've been too tied to platforms for too long. --- The badge system sounds good, but will it just be empty talk when implemented... --- Ah, finally someone is seriously addressing identity issues. Looking forward to it actually being used. --- Once identity fragmentation is solved, DAO governance can truly be effective. --- Interesting, but it still depends on how the team implements it. Don't let it be just a concept over reality. --- I want to know how contribution is calculated. Is it going to be controlled by certain platforms again? --- Wait, does this mean I can import all my on-chain records from before? --- A truly portable identity... sounds comfortable just thinking about it. No more remembering a bunch of keys. --- But once this thing is on-chain, it can't be changed. Think it through carefully.

Bro, I like this idea. Finally, someone is going to integrate this fragmented identity. It was about time to do this.

This DID solution sounds good, but will its actual implementation be another story? Who will ensure privacy protection?

This thing is just trying to pull us out of the multiverse of identities, feels a bit suffocating DID sounds great, but when it really lands, who will guarantee that my privacy won't be completely exposed I'm actually quite interested in the badge system, finally able to prove that I'm not just all talk The current question is, are people really willing to use a unified identity? I quite enjoy having different personas on various platforms If this can really work out, DAO governance will indeed be much smoother, no need to verify identity repeatedly, which is really a relief

Decentralization of identity is indeed troublesome, but can DID really solve it? I feel like it still depends on community self-awareness... --- The badge system sounds good, but I'm worried it will just become another routine for PFP projects. --- A unified identity is a great idea, but how is privacy protected? I don't want all my history to be dug up. --- Sounds nice, but in the end, it's still the big players holding the power, and no matter how many badges small contributors have, it's useless. --- Isn't this just on-chain credit scoring? It should have existed a long time ago... --- Experience points system, another gamification gimmick? Web3 projects always like this set. --- The real key is who issues this identity—decentralized? Don't be ridiculous.
