In a virtual world where anyone can be anything, how do you prove you're really you? Or that the digital avatar you're dealing with isn't a scammer? These questions get to the heart of the identity issue in the Metaverse. Here’s the solution to this digital identity puzzle 👇 🛂 In the physical world, we use passports and driver's licenses to verify identity. In the Metaverse, we will use Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to prove who we are. These "digital badges" are cryptographically fraud-proof and instantly verifiable for authenticity ✅ 👨‍🎤 Imagine your avatar needs to enter a virtual concert VCs use Zero-Knowledge Proofs so that you can prove you've bought a ticket/token without revealing any other info about yourself In a virtual meeting, you can prove your professional credentials without revealing your ID. 🌱 Another great thing about VCs is that they’re only stored in your digital identity wallet You can choose what you share, with who, and when. It's a whole new level of control over your digital self. 🕹 The #Metaverse is coming, and with it a host of new challenges. But with tools like Verifiable Credentials, we're excited for the possibilities. The future of digital identity is here, and it looks pretty awesome. 🚀
