The Untapped Power of Decentralized Identity Solutions: Transforming User Privacy and Data Ownership in the Blockchain Era
Part 1 – Introducing the Problem
Digital self-sovereignty remains one of the most under-addressed frontiers in the blockchain space. While the crypto ecosystem has made strides in decentralizing finance, governance, and storage, the vast majority of users still rely on centralized entities—wallet service providers, exchanges, and social platforms—for identity provisioning. This foundational reliance on centralized digital identities stands in stark contradiction to crypto’s core ethos: user autonomy and decentralization.
Despite this being a recurring conversation since the earliest Ethereum discussions, decentralized identity (DID) standards have yet to gain widespread adoption. Credential issuance via blockchains, Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)-based authentication, and verifiable credentials are still largely confined to theoretical debates or niche proof-of-concepts. Projects like uPort and Sovrin offered early promises but failed to sustain developer traction or mass usage. Today, most DeFi and Web3 applications continue to gate user participation through Web2 identity rails, such as OAuth or Google logins.
The systemic problem is that identity remains controlled by silos. Whether it’s KYC for exchanges, social graphs for DAO participation, or personal profiles in NFT marketplaces, the data is owned by platforms—not users. These centralized identities are non-portable, prone to data leaks, and susceptible to censorship. This directly impedes efforts to create fully decentralized economies where users can persist, interact, and govern across dApps without sacrificing control over their data.
Moreover, the absence of robust DID infrastructure limits composability. Interoperable staking platforms, for example, like StakeWise, still rely on wallet-based pseudo-identities. These wallets offer transaction-level anonymity but cannot support richer identity contexts—like reputation, credentials, or community history—without reverting to off-chain data storage or custodial services.
A deeper complication is economic: few incentive structures yet exist for issuers, verifiers, and users in DID ecosystems. Unlike tokens that reward liquidity or governance, identity doesn’t yet have a monetized protocol layer. As a result, DID often gets deprioritized compared to hype-driven sectors like GameFi or synthetic assets.
Many actors are quietly attempting to disentangle identity from centralized control—some leveraging ZKPs, others integrating with NFTs or soulbound tokens—but cohesive standards remain elusive. The resulting identity landscape is fragmented, fragile, and largely reactive rather than foundational. Until that changes, user privacy and data sovereignty on blockchain will remain more aspirational ideal than actionable reality.
Part 2 – Exploring Potential Solutions
Cutting-Edge Ledger, Classic Dilemmas: The Promises and Pitfalls of Decentralized Identity Models
Several theoretical architectures are battling for dominance in the decentralized identity (DID) space—each offering unique cryptographic promises, and each grappling with design trade-offs that are far from solved.
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)
At the core of most DID discourse is the principle of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). It gives users full control over their credentials using verifiable credentials (VCs) and decentralized identifiers (DIDs). Agents like DIDComm facilitate access control and credential exchange without centralized gatekeepers. Projects like Sovrin and uPort popularized early implementations, but the ecosystem remains fragmented.
Strengths include censorship resistance and composability. However, usability is a known bottleneck. Expecting non-technical users to manage private keys and credential formats introduces unavoidable friction. Additionally, dependency loops on layer-1 chains for anchor points result in variable network fees and latency—problematic for applications requiring real-time interaction.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) for Identity
ZKPs—in particular, zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs—offer a tantalizing approach: prove possession of credentials without exposing them. This makes ZKPs ideal for selective disclosure or compliant anonymity (e.g., proving you're over 18 without leaking your birthdate).
However, tooling remains immature. Circuits are domain-specific, and general-purpose proof generation remains computationally expensive. Privacy-focused chains like Manta Network are experimenting with privacy-layer modules, yet the broader question of on-chain ZK-rollup compatibility adds complexity. Many teams overextend ZKPs to try to create generalized identity platforms, often resulting in bloated, performance-bound prototypes.
Soulbound Tokens and Non-Transferable Credentials
Inspired by Vitalik's proposal, soulbound tokens (SBTs) embed credentials into non-transferable NFTs. Desirable for attestation like academic degrees or KYC designations, the model removes the incentive to trade identity. But it’s not without flaws.
First, smart contract vulnerabilities could permanently expose or compromise identity data. Second, the permanence and visibility of the data onchain—especially social SBTs—introduce threats of unintended disclosure and coercion. It also raises barriers to compliance with data erasure regulations.
Cross-Chain Identity Interoperability
Few models are tackling the challenge of interoperability across rollups and L1s. Projects like ION (built on Bitcoin) don’t natively bridge to EVM ecosystems, creating fractured identity states. Without a unified DID resolution layer, wallet-based identity remains siloed. Interoperability here faces hard constraints: protocol-level incompatibility, divergent governance, and divergent assurance levels.
The need for cohesive, cross-domain credentialing mirrors issues seen in fragmented staking ecosystems. For context, platforms like StakeWise have tackled fragmentation within validator networks, which you can explore in a deep dive into StakeWise for parallels.
More architectural themes—and how they play out in real-world systems—are coming next.
Part 3 – Real-World Implementations
Real-World Implementations: Case Studies in Decentralized Identity Integration
Decentralized identity (DID) solutions have moved beyond whitepapers and pilot announcements. A few real-world implementations are beginning to expose the architecture, friction points, and governance challenges endemic to bringing self-sovereign identity to scale.
In the Polkadot ecosystem, KILT Protocol attempted to standardize DID issuance via verifiable credentials on-chain. KILT uses a 1:1 mapping between a user's DID and its blockchain identity, with credentials issued off-chain but anchored cryptographically. However, adoption has lagged due to UX complexity and the lack of browser-native wallets supporting KILT's identity modules. Even proponents have questioned the practicality of its trust market setup, where attesters charge fees for credential issuance, creating potential conflicts of interest and centralization creep.
Next, Ontology (ONT) pushed heavily into the identity space with its ONT ID system. Utilizing a dual-token model (ONT and ONG), they introduced cross-chain support for decentralized identifiers. Despite building an SDK that integrates into various apps and marketplaces, ONT ID has struggled with ecosystem siloing. Developers cite poor interoperability with Ethereum-based DIDs and limited compatibility with emerging W3C standards like DIDComm. Forked efforts to integrate ONT ID with protocols like Chainlink Identity haven't materialized into significant utility.
Civic, one of the earliest startups in the space, implemented their decentralized identity wallet years ago but centered it around mobile-based biometric verification. While it gained early traction with ICO KYC services, Civic failed to scale due to excessive reliance on centralized off-chain verification partners. This contradiction in its vision of decentralization led to trust erosion among developers. Moreover, an aggressive pivot to NFT gating didn't resonate with institutional partners who expected long-term identity use cases, not gating Discord groups.
In contrast, Cosmos-based projects like Kava have begun exploring identity layer primitives, but without reinventing the wheel. Their strategy is dependent on integrating identity as a utility inside DeFi protocols, not its own siloed product. This reflects a growing trend to integrate identity natively into financial primitives — an approach StakeWise governance has also leaned towards, reinforcing user controls without compromising protocol efficiency. For more insights on how StakeWise is evolving toward user-governed infrastructure, take a look at Empowering Decentralization SWISE Governance Explained.
Technically, DID-based workflows often face challenges in key recovery, credential revocation, and wallet-agnostic implementation. The lack of robust standards across chains and the unwillingness of major wallet providers to support DID registries are major roadblocks. While the concepts behind decentralized identity are clean, the messy implementations continue to reflect a key reality: trust ultimately must be made programmable, but also convenient. The complexity of this convergence is what Part 4 will begin to unravel.
Part 4 – Future Evolution & Long-Term Implications
Beyond the Wallet: How Decentralized Identity Will Evolve in a Modular Blockchain Future
Decentralized identity (DID) is expected to evolve in sync with modular blockchain ecosystems, privacy-preserving primitives, and the shifting demands of multi-chain interoperability. Innovations will likely be shaped not only by technical scalability but also by the dynamic interplay between various cryptographic assurances, protocol abstraction layers, and market-driven governance logic.
One immediate frontier is the integration of zero-knowledge-proof (ZKP) systems like zk-SNARKs for proving attributes without revealing underlying data. As proof-of-personhood becomes critical for governance mechanisms, the ability to validate uniqueness without compromising anonymity will become non-negotiable. However, scaling ZKP circuits in consumer-grade clients remains a barrier, with current tooling limited by proving times and hardware constraints.
Expectations are growing around the ability of layer-2 (L2) rollups and state channels to off-load identity verification flows from congested layer-1 (L1) environments. This becomes vital not just for Ethereum’s ecosystem but for Polkadot, Cosmos, and other interoperability-first chains increasingly demanding standardized identity layers. Yet, no truly dominant cross-chain identity aggregator has emerged, leaving the DeFi user to manage fragmented identifiers across protocols.
Another layer of potential lies in Verifiable Credentials (VCs) that can be referenced via decentralized identifiers (DIDs), giving rise to composable on-chain reputational layers. However, one of the critical hurdles here is the establishment of credential issuers whose legitimacy is accepted across networks. Without robust crypto-economic incentives, issuer trust still relies more on social consensus than on robust verification mechanisms.
Protocols like StakeWise, primarily designed for liquid staking, are starting to reveal how identity and staking mechanics may intersect. Staking behavior, slashing history, and participation in validator governance can all function as components of a primitive, composable reputation layer for wallets. Yet correlation between wallet identity and behavioral trust still clashes with the need for pseudonymity—a challenge yet unresolved.
Infrastructurally, ENS and DID methods vie for dominance, but the lack of a globally-coherent DID resolver framework obstructs widespread adoption. There’s little consensus over storage of identity metadata—IPFS, Arweave, and Layer-1 storage all pose trade-offs between auditability, cost, and permanence.
Future development will also lean into integration between DAO tooling and identity verification frameworks, particularly for quadratic voting and resistance to Sybil attacks. However, decentralized governance of these identity protocols—who controls schema updates, revocation rights, or validator whitelisting—remains both an unsolved structural issue and a brewing source of protocol-level contention.
This growing tension between architectural modularity and governance centrality frames the core challenges DID will face ahead.
Part 5 – Governance & Decentralization Challenges
Governance and Decentralization Challenges in Identity Protocols: A Critical Breakdown
Decentralized identity systems aim to return data ownership to users, but the governance models overseeing these protocols can either reinforce or completely undermine that intention. While decentralization is often seen as the goal, in practice, achieving meaningful decentralization without sacrificing usability or security introduces significant risk vectors. One of the most under-discussed areas is how governance architecture—especially token-weighted systems—can replicate the failures of traditional centralized identity models.
Governance tokens commonly grant voting rights proportionate to stake. This opens the door to plutocratic dynamics where large token holders dominate protocol decisions. This was a key concern raised in the analysis of Empowering Decentralization: SWISE Governance Explained. The article highlights how token distribution models often fail to decentralize actual control, even when decentralized infrastructure exists.
Decentralized identity platforms face a similarly precarious balancing act. High token concentration at launch—frequently held by team members, early VCs, or centralized exchanges—can entrench control before the DAO model even materializes. Until some form of weighted quadratic voting or delegated reputation-based voting becomes mainstream, systems risk falling into governance capture traps.
Contrast this with centralized identity systems—while they lack user control by design, they at least provide transparent accountability (e.g., one company owns the ledger and can be held responsible). Decentralized systems, without proper safeguards, can become opaque pseudo-corporations governed by whales, with no recourse or clear escalation mechanisms for everyday users.
This framework becomes even more fragile under governance attacks. Cartelization of voting power, Sybil attacks through token fragmentation, and malicious proposals forcibly changing identity credentials or revoking verification statuses are credible threats. Adding "meta-governance" layers—where DAOs govern the policies of other DAOs—only inflates this risk if not well-architected.
Regulatory pressures further complicate governance. Jurisdictions may exploit centralized contributors or forums as footholds for legal capture, soft-forcing policy changes on decentralized ID protocols. This contradicts the user-sovereignty ethos these systems claim to uphold.
Even in communities with high engagement and active voting, governance fatigue is a real threat. Coordinating thousands of stakeholders to decide on nuanced standards, credential schemas, or revocation policies requires a robust off-chain signaling mechanism that most protocols lack today.
Addressing these challenges necessitates hard design trade-offs—like integrating identity attestation with on-chain reputation metrics—and these complexities set up the critical discussion about scalability, coordination overhead, and protocol engineering trade-offs that will be the focus of Part 6.
Part 6 – Scalability & Engineering Trade-Offs
Engineering Trade-Offs in Decentralized Identity: Speed, Security, and Layered Complexity
At the core of decentralized identity (DID) systems lies a persistent tension between scalability and decentralization. While self-sovereign ID frameworks promise to place control back into the hands of users, delivering this functionality efficiently at global scale presents severe engineering and architectural constraints. DIDs often require custom logic, selective disclosure, and zk-based verification – each computationally expensive and incompatible with the high-throughput demands of consumer applications.
The bottleneck frequently originates from Layer 1 consensus mechanisms. On Ethereum, limited block space and gas costs hinder efficient DID transactions, especially when layered with identity registries and credential verifiers. Here, rollups and off-chain proofs offer partial relief, though at the cost of increased circuit complexity and latency in final settlement. By contrast, high-throughput chains like Solana or Avalanche offer speed, but compromise on validator diversity and decentralization — a trade-off that's particularly contentious when storing attestations or issuing verifiable credentials tied to one's legal or financial life.
Decentralized identity stacks also struggle under the weight of their dependency trees. Projects often rely on multiple decentralized identifiers (DIDs), verifiable credential schemas, and third-party trust registries, each requiring independent authentication or proof-of-validity cycles. This magnifies the latency with each additional layer. A seamless user login, for example, could involve recursive Merkle proofs, smart contract calls to revocation registries, and zero-knowledge attestations — pushing practical UX far beyond tolerable delays in most web applications.
Permissioned blockchain alternatives bypass some of these inefficiencies, offering faster verification through consensus models like PBFT or Raft. But they reintroduce centralization risks, particularly when governance is opaque or limited to known actors. Hybrid Layer 2 solutions — such as those used in staking networks — attempt to strike a balance. For example, networks like StakeWise showcase innovative approaches to how validators can interact with decentralized governance while maintaining efficiency. To explore that ecosystem further, see StakeWise The Evolution of Ethereum Staking.
Ultimately, these trade-offs are not purely technical. Choosing a fast but centralized identity stack raises long-term concerns over data sovereignty. Opting instead for secure, privacy-preserving models based on zk-SNARKs, SBTs, and decentralized credential registries risks scalability breakdowns without purpose-built infrastructure. While mesh architectures and identity aggregation protocols are in development, few are interoperable yet, especially across different consensus layers.
Next we examine the regulatory complexities arising from these architectures — where pseudonymity collides with policy and compliance mandates.
Part 7 – Regulatory & Compliance Risks
Regulatory & Compliance Risks in Decentralized Identity: Navigating Global Legal Tensions
Decentralized Identity (DID) frameworks challenge traditional legal structures by shifting data custody and user authentication away from centralized intermediaries. However, this disruption places DID solutions at a volatile intersection with regulatory compliance, often exposing developers and users to uncertain legal terrain. The crux of the risk lies in reconciling immutable ledgers, pseudonymity, and decentralized governance with existing Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and data protection mandates.
Jurisdictional Fragmentation
DID systems, by design, operate across borders. But legal interpretations of identity, data privacy, and authentication mechanisms differ widely. For instance, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enshrines the "right to be forgotten"—a concept fundamentally incompatible with public blockchains. In contrast, U.S. data privacy frameworks are industry-specific and often conflict with the underlying architecture of DID, especially when users can’t technically erase or amend data once submitted on-chain.
This jurisdictional asymmetry exposes users and service providers to liability in multiple countries. Developers who deploy decentralized protocols may inadvertently trigger compliance obligations in regions they never intended to serve. Without clear safe harbors or legal frontiers, projects become vulnerable to global enforcement arbitrage.
Government Interventions & Precedents
Historical treatment of crypto privacy tools offers a cautionary tale. Cases involving Tornado Cash and the OFAC sanctioning of smart contracts show that governments are increasingly asserting jurisdiction over decentralized codebases. A DID system that enables pseudonymous access poses similar regulatory threats. Governments may compel gateways or integrators—such as wallet providers or dapp frontends—to enforce user verification rules, even if the underlying protocol is permissionless.
Additionally, as decentralized governance takes broader responsibility for protocol upgrades, regulators may scrutinize token-based voting and DAO structures through the lens of corporate governance and fiduciary duty. Tensions around who is “responsible” in a decentralized identity system—developers, node operators, or token holders—will likely grow.
Compliance Blind Spots
Most DID protocols omit standardized compliance modules. Without support for KYC attestation, sanctions screening, or secure consumer redressal mechanisms, these systems risk being labeled as non-compliant by default. Adoption by financial services firms—and even DeFi integrations—may stall unless regulatory frameworks such as Verifiable Credential schemas and selective disclosure mechanisms become native standards.
For example, attempts to integrate identity into staking or governance, such as projects like StakeWise who explore decentralized governance structures, raise new compliance questions aligned with voting thresholds, civil resistance, and actor accountability within token-governed protocols.
With compliance, it’s not just about defending decentralization—it’s about architecting it with legal foresight.
Part 8 will delve into how the entrance of decentralized identity into mainstream markets could reshape economic dynamics across finance, labor, and digital services.
Part 8 – Economic & Financial Implications
Decentralized Identity and the Redistribution of Economic Power in Crypto Markets
Decentralized identity (DID) protocols are not just rewriting user authentication — they’re poised to disrupt entrenched economic structures in crypto and traditional finance alike. With on-chain verifiability and composable identity layers, DID could strip power from custodians and aggregators, redirecting value capture to the users and systems that enable true data ownership.
From an investor perspective, the shift toward identity-led protocols suggests a higher premium on infra-layer plays. Wallet technologies integrating DID, zero-knowledge ID systems, or multi-chain credential aggregators will likely generate asymmetric upside. At the same time, the rise of verifiable personas may cannibalize existing KYC-dependent platforms, especially those monetizing user data or identity-linked behavioral analytics.
Risk, however, scales with centralization. If a few DID providers dominate the market—especially those backed by L1 foundations or large VCs—we risk reintroducing gatekeepers. Protocol-native reputations may also reinforce echo chambers or crypto tribalism, leading to siloed economies and tokenized “digital castes.” This opens the door to identity-based slashing, exclusion, or MEV-style front runs of reputation-building behavior across DeFi platforms.
For developers, DID offers a path to streamline user onboarding, mitigate bot activity, and bake privacy-preserving compliance into dApps — especially in heavily regulated sectors like RWA-finance or gaming. As protocols consolidate on ZK-based ID stacks, composable sybil resistance becomes a monetizable backend primitive, not just a feature.
Traders and arbitrageurs, on the other hand, may see alpha opportunities diminish. Identity-anchored accounts limit sybil-driven airdrops, multi-wallet farming, and reputation-free mercenary activity. This compression of unsustainable yield could lead to reduced retail influx during mania phases. Those with early access to identity-gated protocols might enjoy privileged entry, but the permissioning of DeFi violates its original ethos, raising inevitable friction.
Institutional players face a conundrum: identity integration eases audit trails and makes DeFi legible to regulators, yet it undermines fungibility and could expose strategy if overly deterministic behaviors are tied to wallet history. Whether DID encourages adoption or imposes surveillance theater depends heavily on implementation choices.
Some ecosystems, like those built around governance-heavy DeFi protocols, are already experimenting with identity-linked voting and staking rights. For example, in https://bestdapps.com/blogs/news/empowering-decentralization-swise-governance-explained, voting power can be delegated in ways that parallel DID-enhanced decision-making structures.
As liquidity, reputation, and compliance begin converging on-chain, DID could anchor entirely new financial primitives—yet not without challenging the very notion of crypto’s neutrality.
Next, we explore how these developments reflect deeper philosophical shifts around selfhood, autonomy, and digital agency.
Part 9 – Social & Philosophical Implications
Economic Disruption and Market Reconfiguration via Decentralized Identity
The economic disruptiveness of decentralized identity (DID) primitives such as verifiable credentials and self-sovereign identity (SSI) in blockchain ecosystems hinges on their capacity to eliminate entrenched intermediaries and rewire monetization models. Today, authentication and identity provisioning are revenue-generating verticals—$27 billion globally—but DID obviates much of the infrastructure sustaining this economy. From Know Your Customer (KYC) providers to credit bureaus, entire legacy sectors could be rendered obsolete by user-controlled wallets issuing and storing attestations.
For institutional investors, this unlocks entirely new exposure classes. Projects focused on verifiable credentials, decentralized reputation scores, and ID-linked access layers are building infrastructure that will underpin next-gen financial rails. These primitives enable decentralized credit scoring, undercollateralized lending, and zero-knowledge proof-based compliance, all of which have direct crossover with stake-based systems like those implemented in StakeWise. Venture traction in this space frequently outpaces risk-adjusted benchmarks due to its foundational nature.
However, capital allocators must remain wary. Demand-side adoption does not auto-generate monetization. DIDs are public goods by default, raising questions about economic capture. Without enforceable standards for credential issuance or interoperable registries, token economics can devolve into stagnation. Proto standards like W3C’s DID spec solve only part of the equation—actual liquidity for DID-linked assets remains a largely theoretical concept.
Developers navigating these ecosystems face both platforms and protocol dilemmas. Revenue-generating vectors are no longer easy to abstract from usage; monetizing an identity wallet isn’t as simple as charging per verification. Instead, emphasis shifts to partnerships with dApps or enterprise-level integrations. Standards fragmentation across blockchains intensifies this issue. For now, early movers like Polygon ID and Ceramic remain more dominant in experimentation than monetization.
Traders looking to capitalize on the narrative have limited liquidity vectors. Tokens tied directly to DID ecosystems often lack speculative catalysts, technical analysis signals, or strong governance momentum. Volatility is illiquid, and exit liquidity depends more on institutional adoption than retail hype cycles. A speculative retail gateway might manifest if DID infrastructure becomes core to zk-based compliance layers on L2s, but until then, these assets remain fundamentally long-term bets.
Meanwhile, economic risks loom. A DID-enabled sybil-resistant environment could upend token airdrop mechanics, DAOs’ governance assumptions, and data-driven DeFi applications. Whales masquerading as thousands of “community members” would no longer be viable—a net positive for decentralization, but potentially a shock to short-term speculators banking on distribution mechanics.
This decentralization of personhood brings with it deep philosophical ramifications, as identity becomes a programmable, multi-sig construct—topics we’ll now start exploring next.
Part 10 – Final Conclusions & Future Outlook
Final Analysis: The Converging Realities of Decentralized Identity in Blockchain
After dissecting architecture, governance, UX models, interoperability concerns, and on-chain data implications across this series, one conclusion becomes unavoidable: decentralized identity (DID) is not operating in a vacuum. It is entangled in the broader dynamics of blockchain adoption, scalability limitations, regulatory ambiguity, and token utility narratives.
In the best-case scenario, Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) protocols scale through Layer-2 optimization, are generalized across chains via standards like DIDComm, and integrate seamlessly with DeFi, DAOs, and decentralized social platforms. In this future, wallet-based authentication becomes the norm, data silos are broken down, and traditional KYC frameworks are reimagined through zero-knowledge proofs. We could see highly composable credentials natively embedded into communities governed by shared incentives—similar to the models seen in governance protocols like Empowering Communities GHST Aavegotchi Governance Explained.
But the other side of the spectrum remains deeply plausible. Without enforcement-resistant design patterns, “decentralized” IDs could morph back into centralized institutions with fragmented key recovery, gated APIs, and closed metadata loops controlled via multisig cartels. In a worst-case reality, DID systems remain niche, riddled with UX complexities, and ultimately build new silos instead of removing them. Risk profiles may become opaque as identity data gets tied to reputation-driven yield scores and contentious credit protocols without recourse or standards.
Unanswered questions continue to loom large: Who becomes liable if a DID-linked credential results in financial loss? Can communities enforce credential revocations without introducing centralized veto powers? What happens to peer anonymity in systems that push for stronger accountability? And crucially, how do surveillance-heavy compliance regimes reconcile with the privacy-first ethos of decentralized IDs?
To reach mainstream adoption, DID projects must escape their current echo chambers. Cross-chain interoperability, seamless wallet UX, flexible attestation schemas, and meaningful integrations into consumer-facing DeFi tools are all non-negotiables. Moreover, the ability to monetize identity—without commodifying it—is uncharted territory that requires a whole new template for incentive design.
All signs suggest that decentralized identity will either be a cornerstone of blockchain’s maturation or expose its vulnerabilities more starkly than any L1 gas war ever could. The question is no longer just technical—it’s existential: will decentralized identity define the next phase of the blockchain revolution, or be remembered as a brilliant, broken experiment?
