Episode 7 | Seema Khinda Johnson explains decentralized Identity

Decentralized identity. It’s without a doubt one of the innovations that has me most excited about the future potential for web3. 

You might be asking your self - what is decentralized identity? Well the answer can actually be quite varied as different companies are approaching it differently as they aim to solve for different use cases. In today’s conversation, I speak with Seema Khinda Johnson about her company Nuggets and how they are building decentralized identity solutions designed to protect us against fraud, identity theft, etc. 

It’s a huge and growing problem. It’s so big in fact that even if it’s never happened to you, I’m sure you’ve felt the effect. The moment of panic when you don’t recognise a charge on your credit card and you think it might be fraud, or when your bank calls you to validate a transaction and you have to think if it was really you. 

Seema and the whole team at Nuggets are building the solutions to help with this and so much more so listen in to find out more.
