Digital identities in the Web3 era, a critical topic addressed by Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real, and Raido Saar, President of the Estonian Web3 Chamber. This session will explore how blockchain enables self-sovereign identities, empowering users to control their personal data and digital presence.
Key discussions will include Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder & COO of The Sandbox, and Yat Siu, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, during the “Into the Metaverse” panel.
