Session Summary:

Ankur used this presentation to deep dive into the most common red flags people raise on the question of commercialising SSI. He broke this down into ‘7 deadly sins’, as follows:

  1. The Price of ID checks is too high

  2. Making it free as in beer, not as in speech

  3. Payment correlation can cause privacy risks

  4. Being fanatical about your ledger

  5. Planet of the Apps

  6. Utopian Vision clouding real Usability

  7. On the internet, nobody knows your DID is a dog
