The Power of Verifiable Credentials

Verifiable credentials are a data type, often thought of as a digital version of credentials we use in the physical world, like diplomas, driver's licenses, professional certifications, etc.

Evin McMullen of Disco.xyz is on a mission to change that.

She is unlocking the personalized web by creating digital backpacks. In everyone's backpack, we have verifiable credentials that share our likes, preferences, experiences, and more. These credentials enable a personalized web, where every site we visit adapts to us. The potential is to take this technology offline as well, so the world around us responds to our individuality.

This conversation is inspiring, deep, and pleasant. Evin makes thick concepts approachable and exciting. I am a total fanboy as you will hear! This episode is a great way to kick off season two, so I hope you'll enjoy it.
