About Episode

In this conversation, I sit down with Stepan Gershuni for the second time on this pod, the first time being in Episode 9 when we talked about the Economics of Self-Sovereign Identity. If you haven’t listened to that one I suggest you do as it was a very interesting conversation that looked into how SSI can be applied to paper based and web2 models, and then dove a bit into web3.

This conversation is more focused on the impact of SSI on web3, where the main conversation point is around DAOs (which is an acronym for decentralized autonomous organizations). A DAO is the web3 version of a company or a community.

Think of it this way, if an NFT represents a piece of digital media, a DAO represents a whole media company.

In the conversation, we discuss:

Mathieu chats with Brian, Co-CEO of Fluree, an open-source platform for data ecosystems. The conversation covers data-centric architecture designs, and why organizations should look to move away from application-centric designs. If you don't consider doing so, macro trends around data privacy laws are driving us towards data centric models anyways. May as well get ahead of the curve and gain competitive advantages from data-centricity today!
