Digital Identity 3.0: Metaverse and biometrics

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Argues for Digital Identity 3.0 as a concrete pipeline: a KYC-verified facial avatar created from biometric face scans, anchored to blockchain-anchored proofs and decentralized storage so avatars are provably tied to real IDs. Claims this prevents impersonation, enforces user data sovereignty and access control, and enables auditable actions—signed deals, virtual courtrooms, secure telehealth and safe education spaces. Describes workflow (passport/ID KYC → biometric scan → avatar creation → on-chain attestation) rather than abstract benefits.
