The developments around idOS are worth paying attention to. Their work on decentralized identity solutions seems to be hitting a crucial inflection point.

What stands out is how they're tackling one of Web3's biggest friction points—identity infrastructure. A lot of projects talk about accessibility, but actually building sustainable identity layers that people want to use? That's the hard part.

The broader vision here matters too. If identity becomes more portable and user-controlled across different chains and apps, we're looking at a meaningful shift in how Web3 onboarding works. Instead of fragmented, clunky processes, you get composable identity that actually serves users.

IdOS seems positioned for the long game. Not chasing hype cycles, just building fundamentals. That's the kind of infrastructure play that compounds over time. The full execution story should be interesting to watch unfold.

In the area of identity infrastructure, after research and analysis, idOS is indeed making real progress. Unlike those who just talk, they are tackling tough problems. However, it's important to monitor the fund flows of these wallet addresses, as projects with flawed tokenomics design tend to fail the fastest. Historical data shows that infrastructure projects are easily exploited by capital, so caution is advised. It's worth investing in, but don't be greedy.

actually... they're conflating "user-controlled identity" with actual privacy-preserving mechanisms here. where's the zero-knowledge component? portable identity without proper cryptographic primitives is just... reshuffling the same surveillance infrastructure tbh

Identity infrastructure is indeed a bottleneck issue, no doubt about it. That being said, projects that focus on steady development without hype often end up becoming infrastructure-level entities. The prerequisite is to survive until that day...

ngl this is what I want to see, not those coins that are just炒概念 every day... The identity infrastructure should have been taken seriously a long time ago.

tbh, identity abstraction across chains sounds good in theory but let's be real—most of these projects ship gas-inefficient implementations that don't actually scale. show me the mempool data first

Identity infrastructure really needs someone to do it for real... unlike those who only talk but don't take action. NGL, the idOS approach this time is somewhat clear-headed; it feels like taking the time to do a meticulous job. In a fragmented blockchain ecosystem, can a unified identity experience be achieved? Sounds great in theory, but we'll see how it's executed.

Identity infrastructure? Sounds impressive, but can it really be used by newcomers? Let's wait and see.

The identity layer is indeed the bottleneck; whoever solves it will win. Projects like idOS that don't chase trends and focus on their work are actually more reliable... They are a bit like what infrastructure should be. But I still have some expectations about whether they can really develop a cross-chain identity solution for users to use.

Identity infrastructure is indeed a bottleneck; after discussing for so long, no one has truly built it yet. This is what true infrastructure should look like. Take it slow, no rush. To be honest, most projects are still just hype; projects like idos that focus on steady development are actually rare. Let's wait and see how their execution turns out. Infrastructure is the ultimate test of a team's capability. The identity issue in Web3 should have been solved long ago, but it's still a mess. I appreciate their attitude of not following the trend; that's where long-term value lies.

Identity is indeed a major pain point in Web3, and finally someone is taking it seriously. To be honest, most projects just shout slogans, while projects like idOS that focus on laying a solid foundation are actually rare. But it still depends on the subsequent execution; don’t let it become just another PPT project. Wait, if it really gets done—allowing identity transfer between different chains... then the onboarding experience could truly be revolutionized. By the way, how many users are actually using it now?
