Closing the Loop #04 - Daniel Buchner: Decentralized Identity on Bitcoin w/ Microsoft's ION
Today's guest on Closing the Loop is Daniel Buchner. Daniel is the Senior Product Manager for Decentralized Identity at Microsoft, which in March of 2021 culminated in the launch of ION.
ION is an open, public, permissionless Layer 2 Decentralized Identifier network that runs atop the Bitcoin timechain.
As life becomes increasingly digital and concerns around privacy and control of personal data become increasingly important, we thought it would be interesting to speak with Daniel to see how he and the team at ION are leveraging bitcoin's unique attributes to build solutions that put control of data back where it belongs - in the hands of each individual.
