The recent DeSoc paper illustrated how Soulbound tokens (SBTs) could combat the over-financialized phenomenon in Web3, and encode a trust network where human connection and broad collaboration across differences can flourish. Amid a heated discussion about SBT and alternative solutions such as VC or ‘signed claim’, we want to give a general comparison of Soulbound Token and Verifiable Credential (VC) and explore constructing identity on the implementation level.
