As decentralized systems mature, the question of digital identity has become one of the most divisive in the Web3 space. Should identity, our most personal data, live on-chain for transparency and interoperability, or remain off-chain to protect privacy and autonomy?

This live debate, hosted as part of the Human Tech Residency at Edge City Patagonia will bring together leading thinkers from across crypto, privacy, governance, and social systems to examine the ethics, trade-offs, and long-term implications of putting identity on the blockchain.

Goal

To create an open, balanced, and thought-provoking conversation that challenges assumptions, surfaces nuanced perspectives, and inspires new approaches to digital identity design. The session will be filmed and live-streamed to reach a global audience.
