Recently watched a video that crystallized something about decentralized identity layers that's been nagging at me. The appeal isn't really about flashy technical infrastructure or identity buzzwords—those are everywhere. What actually stands out is how it reimagines user data: genuinely owned by users, permissions granted once and then reusable across applications. That's the promise Web3 has been making all along, but most solutions just talk about it. A protocol that actually walks the walk though? That's rare enough to notice.
