Cross-chain Identity Forming

Cross-chain identity is finally becoming coherent. Your reputation on Ethereum visible on Arbitrum, Solana, wherever you go. The fragmentation is healing.

The technical solutions converged around attestation protocols. Verifiable credentials that work across chains. Prove something about yourself once, use it everywhere.

ENS extended beyond Ethereum. Your .eth name resolving on other chains. One identity, multiple ecosystems. The namespace became truly multichain.

Reputation aggregation services emerged. Pull your history from all chains into one profile. Lenders, DAOs, applications can see your complete track record. No more starting from zero on each chain.

Privacy-preserving variants use ZK proofs. Prove you're creditworthy without revealing which protocols you used. Selective disclosure across chains. The best of both worlds.

Sybil resistance improved with unified identity. Harder to game airdrops when your activity across chains is visible. Real users distinguishable from farmers.

Linking identities across major chains is straightforward now. The convenience of portable reputation outweighs the privacy cost for many users. The tradeoff is personal.
