The Web3 ecosystem faces a classic dilemma: how to effectively distinguish genuine user identities while protecting privacy?

Traditional solutions often fall into a catch-22—either sacrificing privacy for verification or abandoning verification to protect privacy. The emergence of on-chain identity layers offers a new approach. There is no need to reveal personal identity information; users can instead prove themselves through on-chain behavioral history—transaction records, smart contract interactions, DeFi participation, and more become credentials.

This behavior-based proof model, rather than identity declarations, allows anonymity and credibility to coexist. Your on-chain footprint speaks for you, without the need for words. This is precisely the most promising development direction for Web3 privacy protection and identity verification.

Behavior proves that this set is indeed interesting, but whether it can be used in practice depends on whether the data can be traced back in reverse. Privacy still has vulnerabilities.

It's this logic—on-chain footprints are the true identity, more reliable than any KYC.

This idea is pretty brilliant. On-chain footprints speak louder than anything else. You don't need to reveal privacy to prove yourself. This is the way Web3 should go.

Sounds good, but in reality, who actually checks your on-chain records? It's all up to each platform to set their own rules.
