Welcome, Bangladesh nation, to the ECC experience.

On this particular episode, we are talking with Evan McMollan of Disco and Disco's,

of course, building off the world of off-chain, verifiable credentials.

We're all obsessed with soulbound token these days, but verifiable credentials are kind

of the same same, but not on-chain.

So Evan is a pioneer and huge advocate of what she calls minimal disclosure, which is

actually not something she calls, it's a standard set by, I believe, the Web 3 Consortium,

which is not something she's named, but it's actually a set of ethical standards set

by some internet, three-letter agency standards, agreement committee that talked about this

idea of the least amount of personal identifiable data that is released into the world, the

better, because that preserves user sovereignty.

So there's been this whole debate about soulbound tokens or verifiable credentials, and Evan

is a firm believer of the verifiable credentials movement, and that is what she's building over

at Disco, and you can just hear that in her passion.

She's just a very eloquent speaker, and I think everyone has a fun time talking to

her, whether it's listening to her on a podcast or just hanging out with her in real life,

she seems to have everything that's ready to go in her brain.

So from a content perspective, it's very, very awesome, it's a content producer, I quite

appreciate it.

So let's go ahead and get into that very wonderful conversation with the fabulous Evan McMollan.

We usually do our pre-recorded ads for the episodes like these, but since they are so

short, we are speedrunning them, and so here that goes.
