Web3's identity problem? Most people think it's about scammers.
Wrong.
The real mess is infrastructure that doesn't work.
That's where things get interesting with what some teams are building now.
Imagine owning your digital identity. Actually owning it. Moving it wherever you want without asking permission or jumping through verification loops for the tenth time.
No more data sitting in walled gardens you can't access.
The tech approach here matters: encryption at the storage layer, but without creating redundant copies of everything across every chain. Sounds basic, but most systems still can't pull this off cleanly.
User-controlled credentials that actually travel with you. That's the shift happening behind the scenes in decentralized identity infrastructure right now.

NGL, this is the real key point—without solid infrastructure, nothing else matters.

Nah, that's the real key—it's the infrastructure that's the true bottleneck.

Yeah, seriously, infrastructure is the key. Don't just blame the scammers.

NGL, infrastructure is the key, not all that anti-fraud talk. Really, after looking at so many projects, most of them still can't figure out how to handle this part.

The infrastructure is a complete mess, yet people are still criticizing scammers... To put it bluntly, no one can really figure out the tech side, and you still have to jump through hoops for cross-chain?

NGL, this is the real key point... Most people are still hung up on the scam issue and haven't even identified the real pain point.
