Mapping the Web of Trust: Vereign Joins Key State Capital’s Web of Trust Map
What is the Web of Trust Map
Key State Capital’s Web of Trust Map provides a visual representation of the decentralized identity landscape. The map and its open-source dataset track global decentralized identity projects, including protocols and connections. It also highlights relationships such as industry collaborations and funding arrangements.
The map was developed by over 20 researchers and incorporates data on over 270 decentralized identity projects, 170 blockchains, and thousands of individuals and entities. By consolidating fragmented information, the Web of Trust Map promotes a broader understanding and acceptance of decentralized identity. This creates a comprehensive overview of key players and their interconnected ecosystems, closing the knowledge gap and making the information accessible to the public, researchers, investors, and regulators.
