Decentralised Identity

Decentralised Identity: a core concept in web3 coverage, explained in plain English.

Decentralised Identity refers to a concept that comes up constantly in web3 reporting. In practice it describes how decentralised identity works, who is affected and why it matters to readers.

The term is often used loosely. A precise reading focuses on the mechanism behind decentralised identity rather than the outcome, which is where most confusion starts.
