Why we added digitalsocial.id to our track record

In today's interconnected world, digital identity and reputation are increasingly important, especially with the rise of decentralized applications (dApps). These apps facilitate direct transactions between individuals without intermediaries, making digital identity and reputation even more significant. The dApps market is predicted to reach $368 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 56.1% between 2020 and 2027, according to Emergen research, while the decentralized identity market, valued at $0.65 billion in 2022 , is projected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 90.3% until 2030, according to Grand View Research.

However, the importance of digital identity has created new challenges, including a lack of standardization and interoperability in the Web3 space. This lack of standardization and interoperability creates confusion and fragmentation in determining the trustworthiness of an identity. From a business perspective, the emphasis on privacy means rising trust issues, as they cannot assess the reputation and trustworthiness of wallet owners. From a user perspective, the multitude of protocols and platforms make it challenging to establish a solid reputation without having to go through the standard AML/KYC process, which may reveal unwanted data to business providers. Overall, there is a need to create a trustworthy digital identity and reputation management system that benefits both parties.

How digitalsocial.id does it?

digitalsocial.id addresses the challenge of establishing trust in web3 by utilizing a non-transferable reputation. Their solution bridges the gap between complete anonymity and verifiable trustworthiness of digital identities by incorporating the social identity on-chain, which enhances the credibility of anonymous on-chain interactions by providing an irreversible proof-of-credibility. Users can take ownership of their digital reputation and leverage it to earn incentives when engaging with other online platforms. Meanwhile, businesses can benefit from having reputable users on their platforms without the need for tedious verification processes.

Here is how digitalsocial.id makes it easy to build and leverage a digital reputation:

1. Users interacting with integrated partner platforms of digitalsocial.id can track their activities and leverage good deeds on the internet to better their digitalsocial.id reputation score. The more data points they include in their overall score, the better their rating.
2. Aggregated reputation scores are stored in digitalsocial.id’s Social Attestation Tokens (SATs) which are non-transferrable NFTs, commonly known as Soulbound Tokens. The digitalsocial.id's hub will be the central point of interaction with digitalsocial.id where users can build their score as well as access partners that accept the score for incentivized services.

digitalsocial.id ensures all your digital activities count toward your digital reputation.
