About Episode
In this conversation, I sit down with Stepan Gershuni for the second time on this pod, the first time being in Episode 9 when we talked about the Economics of Self-Sovereign Identity. If you haven’t listened to that one I suggest you do as it was a very interesting conversation that looked into how SSI can be applied to paper based and web2 models, and then dove a bit into web3.
This conversation is more focused on the impact of SSI on web3, where the main conversation point is around DAOs (which is an acronym for decentralized autonomous organizations). A DAO is the web3 version of a company or a community.
Think of it this way, if an NFT represents a piece of digital media, a DAO represents a whole media company.
In the conversation, we discuss:
What are DAOs?
How DAOs are the next logical evolution of coordination mechanisms for communities & companies.
How DAOs are really just a mix of Decentralized ID + Reputation.
How the adoption of Verifiable Credentials with DAOs and open protocols can take off very quick within the next year.
How a DAO can be an Issuer/Verifier of Verifiable Credentials.
The need for decentralized reputation mechanisms and trust scores.
