DID 是钱包吗?聊聊 Web3 身份迷思
最近 DID(decentralized identity,去中心化身份)话题特别火,融资新闻也一个接一个。关于 DID 这个概念要如何理清却颇有争议,尽管处于这样的发展早期,很多理念并未完全明晰,不过对于一些已经出现的比较明显的困惑,我们有必要罗列出来,一起尝试看看,拨开 Web3 身份的技术迷雾。Next.ID 社区希望通过系列文章邀请大家讨论:用户到底需要什么样的 DID,或者说什么样的 DID 体系;Web2 的用户迁往 Web3 面临着什么样的迁移成本;Web3 DID 能给用户带来什么在 Web2 中无法获得的东西。MetaMask 钱包是 DID?据不完全披露,钱包领头羊 MetaMask 目前的月活用户数,起码是 3 千万以上的级别。这导致了大部分的 dApp,很自然的希望通过 MetaMask 来做身份层。而这个想法显然有非常多的挑战,毕竟 MetaMask 只是想做一个钱包而已。 先不论 MetaMask 有没有动机和动力,愿意维护这样海量级别的公共 API 来给 dApp 调用。一个始终绕不过去的,横亘在用户面前的大难题是:作为 EOA 类(external...

回顾|DID 是钱包吗?探讨 SBT 接入场景、开发者和用户为啥买账 — Next.ID Twitter Space 02
Next.ID 于 2022 年 9 月 8 日晚 8 点开展了项目的第二次 Twitter Space,本次活动由 Next.ID 主办,Web3Go Labs 协办,邀请了来自 HashKey Capital 的 JZ,王建硕,SBT 研究员夏禾,LXDAO 核心成员 Bruce 作为嘉宾。 节目中,嘉宾们共同探讨、分享了:对于 DID(去中心化身份,decentralized identity)以及 SBT(灵魂绑定通证,soul-bound token)的理解、它们之间的关系,已经看到哪些在赛道上构建比较实际的案例或者认可的方向,DID 与 SBT 落地过程中碰到的难题等。 在哔哩哔哩上收听回放:https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1WW4y1B7U4目前你对 DID 是怎么理解的?DID 已有应用场景有哪些?是否已有成熟 App 可以使用、体验?LXDAO Bruce:DID 首先是 ID,ID 在现实世界可以类比:身份证、学生证等,虚拟世界有推特、微博账号等。DID 则是去中心化的 ID,没有签发、管理的机构,不会有被删除、封号的风险。现...

Next.ID hosted DID Summer Episode 2 on 2 Aug 2022 with Web3 developer communities & builders from Minority Programmers, Her DAO, 0xCorgis, and Developer DAO. In line with the vision of building Next.ID into a DAO, the core team organized this AMA to create awareness and reach out to potential developers and community members.
Next.ID comprises of 3 main services:
The session started with a product demo illustrating the back-end mechanics followed by an in-depth explanation of each individual service. Other developer communities were invited to familiarize themselves with Next.ID’s vision, so as to allow for open-source building and collaborations.
You can watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sVVXA5gxHzM
Key Takeaways:
In existing identity systems, users do not fully own their digital identities. Web2 social media companies have control over our online data and privacy. Our accounts and content can easily be censored or deleted by these companies. Next.ID aims to solve this issue by returning ownership of digital identities back to users.
Next.ID’s ProofService, KVService, and RelationService are in-house developed identity management services that allow users to aggregate identities across Web2 and Web3 via Avatars. Developers are free to brainstorm and leverage Next.ID’s back-end API/protocol to build their front-end applications.
Next.ID is exploring ways to incentivize community members to get involved in the development of its DAO. We want to find a solution to provide the best user experience without compromising user privacy.
ProofService is the core DID management service that aggregates all identities across Web2 and Web3.
KVService allows users to store data off-chain on Arweave, without sacrificing the user’s ownership of the data. Cryptography and public-private key pairs are used to validate the data and only the user gets to modify it.
RelationService builds a robust connection tree between the network of identities. It contains upstream data collected from third parties which are then combined to build a more comprehensive identity database. Examples of on-chain Web3 protocols include RSS3, CyberConnect, and LensProtocol. Examples of off-chain Web2 parties include Keybase and ProofService.
Common misconception from Q&A: Next.ID DID aggregation does not happen on the blockchain. Instead, it uses ProofChain which is a model that builds trustless authentication.
