In the world of Web3, identity management is not a philosophical proposition, but a matter of ownership.

The logic is straightforward: your data belongs to you, and the storage rights are in your hands. Who wants to access it? They must actively ask you. Permission must be granted before use; without permission, do not touch.

This is a simple design. There are no complicated middle layers, no permissions being secretly misappropriated, and no data being secretly sold from some server. Ownership is clear, permissions are transparent, and rules are simple. This minimalist logic precisely reflects the elegance of Web3.

yeah but who's actually enforcing this? seen too many "decentralized" projects pull the rug within weeks. the ideal vs reality gap is... substantial ngl

Sounds good, but how many projects in reality have actually achieved this?

It sounds wonderful, but what about reality? Who can guarantee that no one will steal the data?

It sounds great, but what is the reality? Most people still don't understand where their private keys are. --- This logic works in an ideal world, but the key issue is that users simply can't control their wallets. --- Ownership is clear, but once you lose the key, it's truly gone—no customer service, no way back. --- That's correct, but why do I feel that current Web3 applications are still following the centralized model? --- There's nothing wrong with idealism, but how many projects are doing the best in terms of transparent permissions? --- Wait, doesn't this also require users to bear security risks themselves? For convenience, they still need to use exchanges. --- I agree with this direction, but the problem is that the ecosystem is still too immature.
