🗓️ According to mansooralrhyb, on June 29, citing TheBlock, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, provided an analysis of the risks and benefits of digital identity projects based on zero-knowledge proofs 🕵️♂️.
🔐 Vitalik warned that the proposal of 'one person, one identity' could jeopardize the confidentiality of identity online, especially among cryptocurrency users.
💬 He said:
"Superficially, the widespread adoption of digital identities based on zero-knowledge seems like a victory for privacy. However, if applied strictly, it could threaten the confidentiality enjoyed by users and create a new centralized system at its core."
🌍 He pointed to projects like World ID as an example of this trend.
✅ Recommendation:
Vitalik recommends following a diverse model for issuing identities, where no single entity (individual, institution, or platform) is responsible for issuing the digital identity, thus enhancing the balance between verification and privacy.
