Episode 496 - Inmate ID or web3 ID? What’s it gonna be for 2023? - Sovereign ID!

Good morning! In this episode I briefly cover a rough definition of the concepts behind decentralized ID. With the movement of our identities and lives into the digital space in the last 10 or so years, we have come to a fork in the road. Will all our info be centralized and as a result surveilled and controlled? Or are we doing to decentralize and make anonymous our information to maintain our sovereignty?

I define zk-proofs and then take a look at a project called Holonym.io that uses zk-proofs and a mixer to create an anonymous online digital passport.
