Evin McMullen is the CEO of Disco, a toolkit that allows users to own and control their data and digital identity. She’s also an active member of DAO Jones, Boys Club, and one of the OG members of $INK DAO.If you’re interested in digital identity, verifiable credentials, or decentralized identifiers, this episode is for you and Evin has got you covered. We start by defining digital identity to lay the groundwork for listeners who may be new to the space and we cover Kim Cameron’s 7 Laws of Identity and how blockchain companies can improve user experience by implementing them more consciously. Now that we have some context, we hit the ground running and Evin dives deep into off-chain vs. on-chain data storage, off-chain vs. on-chain reputation, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), Verifiable Credentials (VCs), and how these technologies can help bring some humanity and understanding to the highly technical world of web3. We discuss identity more broadly and Evin shares her analogy between identity and a disco ball. We touch on topics like social capital, reputation, tattoos, identity in DAOs, and discoverability in web3. Evin shares how disco helps users control and own their digital identity with their personalized disco data backpack, and the ways in which disco is exploring monetization.  🔗 FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenEvin: https://twitter.com/provenauthorityDisco: https://twitter.com/discoxyz ⌛ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro5:04 Evin’s background6:43 Defining digital identity7:02 Kim Cameron’s 7 Laws of Identity9:24 How blockchain companies can improve utilizing the 7 Laws of Identity12:24 Off-chain data storage14:41 Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) 16:03 Verifiable credentials (VCs)19:40 On-chain vs. off-chain reputation25:18 The Disco Ball identity analogy 28:56 Evin’s ERC-721 tattoo31:33 DAOs and identity35:35 Disco and VCs38:01 Social capital and reputation40:08 Launching Disco44:16 How Disco makes money47:54 Discoverability in web350:38 Rebranding seed phrases51:33 I’m not a bot52:50 Britney Spears 53:33 The Metaverse54:13 Follow Evin!54:36 Shoutouts! 🤝 SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzAvenue: https://avenue.placeGovrn: https://govrn.app DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
