Hypotheses of value:
- Cross-app identity: no need to add all the data again when signing up to a new app
- users control what apps have access to what data
- users have one profile, share identifiers
- No need to login again when moving between apps
- user: faster working, access to the same resources (that I allow)
- app: lets me handle the
- Collaboration: apps can better integrate with each other thanks to having the same user accounts
- Swarm data access control: teams can quickly spin up and give access to the right people to all the data across multiple applications and tools they use for work
- Payments routing: Effectively an off-chain ENS. Users can send payments to a phone number, a telegram username, or even an email. So users gain the ability to make Venmo-like Web3 payments.
- Create on-chain (human readable) name for every wallet created, for example using the email address when creating wallet from it. As EFP, Farcaster and Base has already integrated in some wallets.
