Is Blockchain The Solution For The Digital Identity Hurdle?
summary
Panel argues a practical claim: blockchain can enable on-chain validation and selective disclosure so individuals control who sees which attributes and when. Examples: an education-sector pilot (Forward Protocol / Forward ID) that moves certificates across borders, a financial inclusion stack for the unbanked used across many countries, and MyData-style sovereignty work; rejection of all-in-one chip passports. Remaining hurdles are accuracy, adoption scale, and finding a profitable investor model to sustain solutions.
