esatus Joins as Co-Contributor of Web of Trust Map
The Web of Trust Map, a Key State Capital initiative to be launched in March 2025, offers a comprehensive overview of the decentralized identity space. It charts the explosive scope of this space by collecting and presenting extensive data on global decentralized identity projects, including their protocols and industry connections.
Developed by a team of over 20 researchers who began data collection in September 2022, the map encompasses research on over 270 decentralized identity projects, 170 blockchains, and thousands of individuals and organizations. By synthesizing information from across the currently fragmented landscape of decentralized identity technology, the map creates a holistic picture of key players and their interconnected ecosystems, aiming to broaden understanding and drive adoption.
