Humanity Onchain with Holonym
Shady El Damaty, one of Holonym’s co founders, sits down with Keli to explore what privacy-preserving identity means - where every person is empowered with a key that only they can control to unlock rights to their digital person. Shady shares his journey from academia to deep decentralized tech, discussing the challenges of data sharing in scientific research and how it led to the creation of Holonym (spoiler alert: hackathon blind dating). The conversation delves into the innovative technology behind Holonym, including the Mishti network for generating human keys, wallet as a protocol, and the implications for security, privacy, and decentralized identity in a way that is elegant and simple. Shady emphasizes the importance of balancing identity verification with anonymity and shares future plans for growth and user engagement. Holonym is "making digital human rights real" with @silkysignon, @mishtinetwork and @zer0nym.
