On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking with Evin McMullen. Evin is the co-founder of Disco, a company working to bring decentralized identifiers to the web3 party. Evin has long understood the value of data and the role it plays in our daily lives. In the web3 space, we finally have the opportunity to take control of that data and use it in new and exciting ways. Evin explains how all of this data comes together to create our digital identities and reputations, and explains how we can better organize and use the data that we choose to put on-chain.Evin talks about what types of information should and shouldn’t be put on-chain, and how a more robust reputation system can help us solve more interesting coordination problems. She also dives deep into decentralized identifiers and the important role they can play in aggregating the many names, accounts, and wallet addresses we use on a daily basis.
