Evin McMullen, co-founder & CEO at Billions.Network, argues that zero-knowledge (ZK)-wrapped digital identity is not a solution due to the risks of coercion and loss of pseudonymity. Vitalik Buterin supports this argument, advocating for a pluralistic and decentralized model of digital identity using Profile DIDs. This approach is already in use by over 9,000 projects, promoting contextual verification rather than static identifiers. The future of digital identity lies in decentralized and pluralistic systems that prioritize privacy and human-centric design.
