Why is on-chain identity either nothing or your entire life?
Opportunity
On a public chain you are either a random address with no reputation or a wallet that exposes everything you have ever done. There is no middle: a way to prove you are a real, unique person, or that you are allowed to do something, without handing over your whole history.
Why it matters
Useful, privacy-preserving identity is the missing layer between anonymous and surveilled.
How I score the opportunity
The Opportunity Score is my own read, not a measurement: how much it hurts, how often it bites, and how little exists to solve it today. Higher means I think it is more worth building.
How much pain it causes when it shows up.
How often people actually run into it.
How little good tooling exists for it today.
