The Past and Future of the Onchain Ethereum Identity Stack
2025-11-20 , World's Fair Stage

I will trace a brief history of the onchain Ethereum Identity Stack, from Public Key Cryptography and the Cypherpunks, to Namecoin, and ENS, where Sign in with Ethereum came from, the philosophy of Ethereum Follow Protocol, and more - and explain where I think it should go in the future.

Brantly.eth is the creator of Sign in with Ethereum and Ethereum Follow Protocol and a longtime contributor to ENS.
