Social KYC, an Alternate Form of Identity Verification for Web3 with Ingo Rübe

Listen to this Episode to learn about how Internet-native use cases can sometimes require different forms of credentialing.

Introduction

There’s a big movement of digitizing Government-issued IDs (e.g., driver’s licences or passports) through technologies such as OCR, and then conducting liveness testing on the person. This method basically just digitizes a processes that was needed for conducting in-person transactions. But now since more transactions are happening digitally, and since many new Internet-native use cases don’t require knowing someone’s Government name, how can alternate sources of verifiable credentials fuel the Internet Economy?
