1/ This should come as no surprise!

No-one I respect for their views on privacy or self-sovereignty / #SSI is excited about @worldnetwork. In fact, the dominant reaction is terror, which I share.

Quick thread on why 👇

The $WLD token has lost yesterday's gains as the crypto community soured on the project due to privacy, security and centralization concerns as well as its relation to @SBF_FTX and 3AC. @egreechee reports.

Already a pleasure working with the @VouchedID team!

Adding independent verifiable through the @cheqd_io network to their already excellent work on MCP-I, now KYA-OS for #agenticID!

Looking forward to having this up and running!

cheqd and @VouchedID are building trust in AI agents.

A decentralised, verifiable, and independently auditable trust layer for AI agents, anchored to open standards.

Great session at GOSIM Paris 2026.

Fraser Edwards (@fraser_again) spoke on the panel Agentic AI in the Enterprise, Rethinking Software and Work.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us at Master Stage and stayed to chat with Fraser after the panel.

Each of the days at Internet identity Workshop (#IIW42), I make a point of reading through all of the sessions across the day to try and identify any patterns or themes.

Whilst there will be Agent Identity Workshop tomorrow (Friday), the dominant theme across IIW42 has to be (unsurprisingly): #AI.

A lot of sessions focusing on #AIAgents but also a lot of sessions focusing on establishing trust and security as generative AI supercharges fraud and overwhelms existing approaches to ID&V. These sessions can broadly be broadly broken into:

1. Combining #DID and #AI capabilities to establish brand new capabilities
2. Using #DID and #VCs to combat new risks resulting from #GenAI, e.g. @rileyphughes ID/acc or @C2PA_org (C2PA)

Outside of the AI theme, there are plenty of the usual inter-op.

Would welcome others to take a spin through the pictures and see if any other themes jump out at them! See you all in the replies

Riffing on the 42 link with hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy: I might not discover the meaning of life here but there’s certainly enough chaos and serendipity to rival HGTTG.

Walking into the 42nd Internet Identity Workshop (#IIW42) opening circle right as the agenda is being created, always a magical time.

Within 3 minutes have already run into @OfMiklos, the @dock_labs and @AnonyomeLabs teams, going to be a busy and productive week as always!

The proof won't be in what has been announced. It'll be in what gets sacrificed in the coming months & years.

[Fraser 🆔 @fraser_again]

Every technology revolution has a moment where the industry looks at what it's building and blinks.

[Fraser 🆔 @fraser_again]

Have technologists learned from previous waves? Maybe... The fact that this conversation is happening at the model layer, not retrofitted after the damage is done, suggests some pattern recognition. That's not nothing.

Went for a cycle around Richmond Park on Sunday with a friend working in data engineering at a scale-up yesterday.

When "Claude said" becomes your default opener, you've stopped having a conversation. You've become a relay node for an LLM.
