Web3 Identity
Web3 identity is the set of public, blockchain-based identifiers through which a person or organization is represented on-chain: wallet addresses, human-readable decentralized names that resolve to those addresses, on-chain labels and any profile records published alongside them. Because anyone can register a name or control many wallets, a Web3 identity is pseudonymous by default. A decentralized name or wallet link is a possible match, not a verified association, until off-chain evidence — an address published on an official site, a corroborated social account or a documented transaction — supports it. Web3 identity research serves fraud, brand-protection and due-diligence work without treating on-chain records as proof of legal identity or current control.
