How DAOs Benefit from Self-Sovereign Identity with Stepan Gershuni


Listen to this Episode to learn about how SSI can help grow DAO ecosystems!


Introduction

In this conversation, Mathieu sits down with Stepan Gershuni for the second time on the podcast, the first one being for Episode 9 when they talked about the Economics of Self-Sovereign Identity. If you haven’t listened to that one, we suggest you do as it was a very interesting conversation that looked into how SSI can be applied to paper based and web2 models, and then dove a bit into web3.

 

This podcast conversation is much more focused on the impact of SSI on web3, where the main conversation point is around DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). At a high level, a DAO is the web3 version of a company or a community.

 

Think of it this way, if an NFT represents a piece of digital media, a DAO represents a whole media company.
