As many others, we’re all on a quest to find the holy grail of digital identity. A way to prove who we are online without handing our entire lives over to Google, governments, or some shady corporation. Surely zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) were the solution! Untraceable, secure... the ultimate shield. But...
Metaverse fashion promises a dazzling future. Self-expression unbound. Digital wardrobes overflowing. But beneath the shimmering surface lies a chilling truth: our digital identities are more vulnerable than ever. Are we heading blindly towards a future where our digital doubles are siphoned off, mined, hijacked and weaponised against us? I think...

At what cost—and are we really trading away the soul of crypto for mainstream adoption? Is the long term potential for a better decentralized future being secretly traded off on the altar of regulatory acceptance and convenience? Just last week Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin made a serious case against centralized,...
As Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently explained, ZK technology has exciting possibilities for verifying identity. He pointed out the dangers posed by its implementation. His analysis comes amid growing interest in global digital identity projects, such as the World Project, which utilize ZK-proofs to verify user data without exposing the...
Imagine a world where accessing vital services, from healthcare to education, hinges on one thing: a digital identity. A universal key unlocking opportunities. Now imagine that key being operated by just one key master. Sounds liberating? Or terrifying?Worldcoin, spearheaded by Sam Altman, presents a bold vision: a global digital identity...
The metaverse. Remember all that hype? More billions poured in, more promises of a new reality, and… crickets. That original vision, a boundless digital nirvana for all, crashed and burned worse than a cow on Mars. Like the villain in a cheesy horror movie, it’s come back yet again. This...
DeFi. Decentralized Finance. It’s supposed to be our fintech revolution, after all, isn’t it? Untethered from the scrutinizing gaze and necessarily heavy hand of these centralized institutions. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the rush to inject AI into DeFi identity verification is a dangerous game. We’re not debating an inconvenient...
KYC. Just the acronym alone is enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone who’s ever attempted to enter the confusing world of DeFi. It's supposed to protect us, but all too often, it feels like a clunky, invasive system that's ripe for abuse. Are we truly safer by...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
Humanity Protocol opened the doors to its fast and secure decentralized ID service on June 26. The H token saw its value explode following a successful “Fairdrop” to early users and supporters. The H token, meanwhile, has seen a 40% price surge over the last 24 hours. The flood, of...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
It’s that same sort of exuberance you felt when you first heard about the metaverse. The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot. He’s recently been exploring the thrilling worlds of AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). After the hype and billions of dollars, Meta’s Metaverse projects—especially Horizon Worlds—have found difficulty in attracting...

DeFi might seem like a remote world, but I’ll never forget being at a DeFi conference last year. The typical panicky lunge for registration lines, relatable uncomfortable small talk… but then, wait, what’s this. Rather than needing to keep up with a paper name tag, I simply scanned a QR...
