Introduction
There are disparities in how we code or write programs. Often, our code is who we are and how well we are able to manipulate our thoughts. This means that the quality of code we present largely depends on our level of skills. The difference between the two solidity developers is how well they can decipher and simplify complexities in programs. A quote by @Mudit_Gupta reads: "Unironically, the things that often separates Senior Solidity devs from Solidity devs is the…
Introduction
In a world increasingly dependent on digital interactions, the need for robust and secure identity solutions has become paramount. Traditional centralized identity systems often fall short in protecting user data and privacy. However, a revolutionary approach known as self-sovereign identity (SSI) offers an alternative paradigm that empowers individuals to take control of their digital identities. In this article, we will delve into the concept of SSI and explore how it can be impl…
