Description

About Episode - Progress is often slowed down because of binary thinking. This type of behaviour sometimes happens within the self-sovereign identity world: “Such protocol is good, such protocol is bad”; “Such community is good, such community is bad.”During this conversation, we discuss: Digital Sovereignty - operating in the digital world (or metaverse), with an emphasis on Government’s role in the digital world. Why organizations such as Mozilla, Google, Apple recently objected to the W3C decentralized identifiers standards - does this go against the independence of people? Does it have to do with energy consumption of proof-of-work blockchains? Deciphering Interoperability - there's a need to focus more of the conversations around portability. Rouven provides some easy to understand examples. What’s happening in the DIF and what are some of the cross-community collaborations Overviewing Top-down and Bottom-up approaches - the differences in governance, the importance of reputation, opening up portable reputations from siloed spaces. What to control and what not to? Where do I fit into a Decentralized ID ecosystem? Some examples of services offerings, including how financial institutions can create new value offerings. Verified vs Verifiable - why these two words are fundamentally different and how they sometimes wrongly used.About GuestRouven Heck is the Identity Lead @ ConsenSys Mesh and the Executive Director @ Decentralized Identity FoundationPrior to joining ConsenSys, Rouven had a number of positions at Deutsche Bank working as a Blockchain Expert, COO, Program Manager, and Service manager.You can find Rouven on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/rh7; and on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rouvenheck/.Follow Mathieu Glaude Twitter: https://twitter.com/mathieu_glaude LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathieuglaude/
