Use Cases

All this sounds great, but what are the actual use cases of decentralized identity and SSI in web3 and other applications?

• Rich identity profiles of users without being vendor locked
• Privacy and sovereignty of data
• Protection against Sybil attacks
• Receive and present identity data without paying expensive gas fees (SSI works off-chain)
• Provide access to hidden resources within the community to members with certain VCs
• New ways of DAO governance based on earned achievements and skills
• Faster and reusable identification (KYC)
• Every other use case you come up with ... :)

In this place, we would like to mention many exciting projects already using DIDs and VCs in very cool ways:

• Gitcoin Passport,
• Disco,
• Orange Protocol.
