@VittoStack @Valerian__D It's a unique identifier that doesn’t require a centralized registration authority. It's generated and registered cryptographically
A few players are developing DID wallets that can be used to sign in and store your credentials
It's part of the infra for decentralized identity
@Valerian__D @VittoStack Exactly... It's a step backwards to do so.
DIDs will be solving this issue. In simple terms, it lets you create an identity wallet that is separate from your financial wallet.
It will go mainstream. We are working on implementing for web3 gaming specifically (and a lot more).
@csuwildcat@0xrooter Meanwhile, some still believe that web3 logins are a step forward...

Can't wait for DID logins to become the new standard.
Web1 - login with email/password
Web2 - login with Facebook/Google
Web3 - login with crypto wallet
The Web3 login has less friction than Web1, way more privacy than Web2, and comes with a native bank account which neither Web1 nor Web2 has.
What's in it for you? Simple.
Generate passive and active income from your gamer identity. On your terms.
How? By helping games solve their key problems.
With Metapass, this is possible. Demo coming in H2.
Watch this space - we have a lot in store. 🏗️
@VittoStack Login with a wallet is a step backwards IMO.
It puts your funds at risk even though you are only trying to authenticate yourself (not a financial tx).
There are better solutions being developed. We for example are implementing it for safer login in web3 gaming.

Web3 here, web5 there, web web web... It gets confusing.
Whatever we end up with, Metapass is here to stay. That's because we're powered by #DIDs.
And because we're here to give it back to the users.
On Spotify, if you don't pay for premium, they make you listen to ads.
Your attention is their revenue source.
But what if your attention could become your own revenue source?
We want to create a world where this becomes the norm.
