The Silicon Valley tech companies have become the new banks. They hold all of our data. They control our digital identities.

Sign-in with Ethereum is the solution. It’s one of the first steps for users to own their data across the web. Instead of logging into the platform, the platform logs into your account. You own your data. You own your identity. You have a self-sovereign, universal login for the internet.

Wayne Chang is a researcher, the co-author of the Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) Standard, and the co-founder and CEO of Spruce, a company that is working to grow SIWE adoption to become the standard way to log into the internet.

Chang believes that SIWE will lead to a more sovereign, decentralized, and free internet for the world.

Crypto is known as a technology to separate money and state. Identity is no different.

This podcast marks the beginning of the separation of identity and state.
