Identity infrastructure like idOS tackles a real friction point in Web3 apps—repetitive verification loops. Once your identity gets verified on-chain, you shouldn't need to prove it again each time you interact with a new application. That's the efficiency gain right there.
What makes this approach interesting isn't just speed. Applications don't receive blanket access to your data. Instead, they request only what they actually need—users retain granular control over what gets shared. It's privacy by design rather than a black-box permission model.
This kind of infrastructure could reshape how decentralized apps handle onboarding. Fewer friction points for users, tighter data boundaries by default. The identity layer stops being a bottleneck and becomes an enabler.
