Why DID is Needed
l Human readable and easy to remember WEB3 username Although each of us has a unique ID number, in our daily life, we generally use 'name' as an identifier of one's identity (although there will be renames) because it is easier for daily communication. The world of WEB3 has the same problem: while people currently interact primarily based on wallet addresses, no one wants to remember that long string of characters. If the digital identity of WEB3 needs a 'name', then what EVMNS is doing is hoping to be that 'name'.
l A more user-friendly WEB3 experience In WEB2 world, digital identity is platform-centered, and different products within the same group are connected through an account system. For example, Tencent's mailbox, games and finance can all use the same account; Google, Facebook and other top Internet enterprises also have their own account systems. Although this kind of identity system is easy to build, its disadvantages have been widely known: the accounts between platforms do not interoperate with each other, and users have no way to control their own identity data. In WEB3 world, user interaction is mainly based on wallet address, so a series of activities related to the address constitute the most native decentralized digital identity DID of WEB3, and it can be naturally interoperable between different dApp applications without barriers. In this way, users can quickly find their acquaintance and friends when they enter new applications and games, without having to re-add them back by themselves like in WEB2 world. Imagine a peer-to-peer chat where you can find the desired contact by simply searching for xxx. evm instead of an 18-digit irregular address starting with 0x. What a wonderful experience, and each EVM domain is unique so you don't have to worry about matching the wrong person. Moreover, by using a DID name to connect to various cryptocurrency addresses, you can receive cryptocurrency payments from others through that domain name without having to copy and paste long addresses.
l Decentralized Super Business Card Each DID domain is a unique NFT, and the owner is free to set the content they wish to map or record, in addition to the common EVM wallet address, other cryptocurrency addresses, but also avatars/pictures, Email, Website, profile, Twitter/Telegram accounts and other content, no one can tamper or delete the information, the user has full control of his or her identity information. A DID may seem like a simple domain name, but it contains unlimited content, and is a super business card for the WEB3 world.
l Personal decentralized WEB3 homepage/website EVMNS allows users to create personal decentralized homepages/websites and upload them to the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a global network of storage protocols that allow computers around the world to store and share data in a peer-to-peer fashion. In short, EVMNS and IPFS can help users to establish personal homepages/blogs and websites, with functions similar to the combination of RSS feeds + WEB3 Medium. Users will have full ownership, including domain name, content and data, completely avoiding the possibility of being deleted by registrars/data operators.
l WEB3 Infrastructure DID is also known as the "identity infrastructure" of WEB3 applications. As discussed above, it is basically determined that DID and avatar are the basic and essential elements of WEB3, being the identity of the WEB3 world.
