Decentralized Identity in DeFi (Part 01)
Decentralized Finance is called DeFi in short. It is a revolutionary force in the financial world. This system is an alternative to the traditional financial system. But in the DeFi system, identity is a challenge. Traditional financial systems rely heavily on centralized identity verification processes Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, to ensure trust & compliance with country standards. But in DeFi, there is no presence of a middleman so here is the big question of Identity and how will it be managed in a decentralized environment. But the Decentralized identity has the solution of this problem which I am going to share in this post.
Decentralized identity is a system where individuals control their own identity information without relying on the central entity. Normally Sach kind of information is stored by the government or corporation or any other organization. However in a decentralized network, the identity data is stored on a blockchain or a decentralized network. So the overall control security and privacy of the identity and data is managed by the individuals themselves.
This concept aligns closely with the principles of DeFi, where the emphasis is on decentralization, transparency, and user empowerment. In a decentralized identity system, users have a digital wallet that contains their credentials, such as government-issued IDs, academic certificates, or professional licenses.
These credentials are verified by the issuing authorities and then stored on a blockchain. The user can then share their credentials with third parties as needed, without having to go through an intermediary. This not only enhances privacy but also reduces the risk of identity theft and fraud. This system allows the complete control of the data by the individuals.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
This is something new for me that is known as decentralised identity and I believe that this is the core function of blockchain and that is why a lot of people try to make a move from the traditional Internet to the new one and this is how things are going to evolve.
