Reconstruction of Identity in the Web3 Era

The core issue with traditional identity systems is clear: personal data is locked within various platforms and service providers, and users have limited control over their information. This model is no longer suitable in the Web3 ecosystem.

The new approach is to truly return identity rights to users. No longer relying on centralized institutions, but building independent identity infrastructure—users become the true owners and managers of their data. All information is encrypted throughout the process, effectively protecting privacy.

This is not just a technological upgrade but a shift in the power structure. Under this new model, users can move flexibly between different applications and platforms without having to re-authorize their personal information each time. Identity governance is entirely controlled by the users, and platforms are merely service providers without monopolistic rights.

This decentralized identity solution is becoming an important part of Web3 infrastructure and represents an ideal balance between privacy protection and user autonomy.

Sounds good, but can it really be achieved? It sounds nice, but the key is whether someone will actually use it. Decentralized identity sounds great, but I wonder if it will be monopolized by new platforms again. This theory seems to be implemented much faster than actual deployment. Giving power back to users? First, users need to truly understand how to manage their own identities. Encryption sounds secure, but what if the private key is lost? You won't even be able to cry. Anyway, I believe in it. Let's see how it develops from here.

That's correct, but the real test is how to implement it effectively.

Ideals are great, but the key is who will design the incentive mechanism? Will users really manage their identities properly?

Sounds good, but can it really be achieved in reality? --- Nice words, but the key is who will maintain this infrastructure. --- Giving power back to users? Let's first make sure the wallet is secure. --- Decentralized identity is indeed a breakthrough, much better than being exploited by platforms now. --- Wait, what's the difference between this and current DID projects? Still the same old packaging? --- Finally someone explained clearly. I've been fed up with repeated verification on various platforms. --- Sounds great, but how will it be implemented? When can we actually start using it?
