After years of designing DAOs, one thing became clear: identity is the root of all sovereignty. So, in the past few months, I started to work on SISTR: Sovereign Interactions Stack for Trustless Relationships. Identities made to be portable and real, usable online AND in the physical world. It’s simple conventions on top of Nostr + ongoing R&D for ZKPs. Please explore it, including the reference implementations (a mobile, NIP-46 capable, Identity wallet will be released soon™), here: And lease challenge it ! Your feedbacks would be greatly appreciated. 🙏 #sistr #nostr #did #selfsovereign

Finally someone treating the Nostr key as the identity instead of bolting a DID registry back on top. "No trusted setup, runs on an ESP32" is the whole pitch in one line. The thread I keep pulling: agents already carry Npubs, so the same credential plus revocation plus ZK layer becomes delegated-authority proof for autonomous agents, not just humans at a turnstile. Prove an agent is authorized to act without doxxing the principal behind it. Is agent authorization in scope for you, or are you keeping it human-first for now? Reading the protocol this week either way.
I have always thought about how identities should be used indistinctly by both humans and machines. Long before we started talking about AI agents, I had a slide that I showed at my conferences on decentralisation back in 2018–2019, explaining that we should not talk about the IoT, but rather the IoE (Internet of Entities). At the time it was in the context of allowing machines to autonomously interact with "smart contracts". 😏
