Episode 103 - Metis & Nuvo - Decentralized digital identity and data ownership in a data-driven world

Crypto Altruists: Real-World Stories of Social & Environmental Impact with Web3

In episode 103, we’re excited to welcome Yuan Su, Founder and CTO of Metis, an Ethereum Smart Layer-2 dedicated to solving the trilemma of security, scalability, and decentralization, and Nuvo, a middleware platform that bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 development. We discuss how Web3 can enable data privacy and ownership, the exciting potential of a decentralized digital identity, and how it can help the 1B unbanked around the world, and much more!
--Three Key Takeaways--

• Most of our data, including our credentials, are entrusted to centralized third parties. This opens the user up to risks including data breaches which can lead to financial loss and identity theft.
• “Not your key, not your coins” is a well known saying in Web3 which should apply to one’s credentials and identity as well. One’s identity should be viewed as an asset, in the same way as a cryptocurrency or NFT, for example, and needs to be safeguarded as such.
• Over 1B people lack access to a proof of identity – which can be a huge barrier to social and financial inclusion. Decentralized digital identity can help by giving these individuals a verifiable identity that can be used to access essential financial services.
