NFT Steez and Lukso Co-Founder Explore the Implications of Digital Self-Sovereignty in Web3

NFT Steez talks with Lukso co-founder Marjorie Hernandez about how Universal Profiles integrates and empowers users digitally Interview

Sovereign identity is a hot topic in blockchain and cryptocurrency, especially with the rise of the creator economy. Currently, there are two types of digital identities. One is federated and centralized, with the data under the control of the service provider. Self-sovereign digital identity is often cited as a human right that can reclaim agency using blockchain technology, but what frameworks exist that help govern it?

On August 2, NFT Steez, a bi-weekly Twitter space hosted by Alyssa Expósito and Ray Salmond, sat down with Marjorie Hernandez, co-founder of LUKSO and The Dematerialized, to discuss the state of blockchain-based identities and "Universal Profiles. According to Hernandez, in the future, "everything will have a digital identity".

Integration in the digital realm should be frictionless for sovereign "universal profiles"

During the interview, Hernandez explained the paradigm shift from centralized platforms to a "platformless future" and emphasized that users need to control their identity and creation across "platforms." more agnostic forms", where they can own their intellectual property via the "universal profiles".

Lukso's integration of Universal Profiles allows users and creators to retrieve their identity and issue their IP address in a symbiotic way between creator and user. According to Hernandez, the Universal Profile can be thought of as a personal operating system (OS) for not only authenticating, but also sending, receiving and creating assets.

As Hernandez puts it, Universal Profiles are a “Swiss Army-style tool that serves so many purposes for the user.”
