ETHPrague 2025 – Team Highlights

https://app.ont.io/ontio/1750153592001Article banner_EthPrague 2025 - Ontology team recap.png

Orange Protocol Focus

ETHPrague 2025 made it clear: decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, and on-chain reputation are no longer niche topics - they’re foundational to the next phase of Web3. Across key side events, conversations reflected a growing demand for user-owned identity and modular infrastructure that can work across platforms. This momentum aligns closely with Orange Protocol’s mission.

Verifiable Brunch with vlayer (May 29)

This session focused on the evolving role of verifiable credentials in Web3, with a strong emphasis on interoperability and user-owned identity. Participants highlighted the need for frameworks that operate seamlessly across dApps and ecosystems - precisely the kind of portable, modular infrastructure Orange supports.

Web3Privacy Now Meetup x ETHPrague 2025 (May 29)

The Web3Privacy Now meetup brought together privacy advocates and builders exploring zero-knowledge proofs (zk), data minimization, and decentralized identifiers (DIDs). While tools and standards are still evolving, it was clear that privacy is seen as a non-negotiable principle in Web3 identity - though few teams have easy-to-integrate solutions. This presents an opportunity for Orange’s privacy-first scoring and reputation modules to play a critical role.

Bohemia Roots: How to DAO? (May 29)

In this DAO-focused workshop, teams discussed governance frameworks, member management, and trust mechanisms. Reputation systems and identity verification repeatedly came up as key challenges. The use of DIDs in governance was seen as both a hurdle and a high-leverage opportunity - one where Orange’s contributor scoring and trust signaling tools could immediately add value.

ETHGlobal Prague Hackathon (May 30–June 1)

Although not focused solely on identity, the ETHGlobal Prague Hackathon featured tracks related to reputation, zk, and DID infrastructure. Developers showed enthusiasm for embedding identity into apps like games and coordination tools - but many lacked accessible building blocks. Orange’s modular tools and portable credentials can bridge this gap, making identity integration simpler and faster.

Wrap-Up

Across all events, three consistent needs emerged:

  • Interoperable decentralized identity systems
  • Privacy-preserving identity tools
  • Modular reputation infrastructure for DAOs and social coordination

Orange Protocol is uniquely positioned to meet these needs with its plug-and-play scoring modules and verifiable credential support — helping builders incorporate identity and trust into real-world applications without starting from scratch.

Ontology & OntID Insights

While OntID was not specifically mentioned at ETHPrague 2025 events, the themes closely paralleled Ontology’s core identity offerings:

  • Verifiable credentials: A central focus across side events, reinforcing OntID’s support for secure, user-controlled identity systems.
  • Privacy: Repeatedly cited as critical yet hard to implement, privacy-first identity aligns with OntID’s design principles.
  • DAO governance: Many participants highlighted the need for identity and reputation tools in DAO contexts, echoing OntID’s potential in managing contributor identity, trust, and permissions.
  • Developer enablement: Hackathon teams sought easier ways to implement identity — a need that OntID and ONTO Wallet can address through user-friendly DID frameworks and credential issuance tools.

1. Verifiable Brunch with vlayer (May 29)

Focus: Discussions on verifiable credentials and privacy in Web3.

Relevance to DID/OntID: The event centered on the importance of verifiable credentials, a core component of decentralized identity systems. While OntID was not explicitly mentioned, the themes align closely with OntID's objectives in providing secure and user-controlled identity solutions.

Notable Insights: Emphasis on the need for interoperable identity frameworks to enhance user privacy and control in decentralized applications.

2. Web3Privacy Now Meetup x ETHPrague 2025 (May 29)

Focus: Exploration of privacy technologies within the Web3 ecosystem.

Relevance to DID/OntID: Privacy is a fundamental aspect of decentralized identity. The discussions likely touched upon how DIDs can empower users with greater privacy, resonating with OntID's mission to provide privacy-preserving identity solutions.

Key Takeaways: The necessity of integrating privacy features into identity solutions to protect user data in decentralized networks.

3. Bohemia Roots: How to DAO? (May 29)

Focus: Workshops on building and managing Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Relevance to DID/OntID: DAOs require robust identity mechanisms to manage membership and governance. The event likely discussed the role of decentralized identities in facilitating transparent and secure DAO operations, aligning with OntID's capabilities in identity verification.

Insights: Highlighting the integration of DID systems in DAO frameworks to ensure accountable and participatory governance.

4. ETHGlobal Prague Hackathon (May 30 – June 1)

Focus: A hackathon bringing together developers to build innovative Web3 solutions.

Relevance to DID/OntID: The hackathon included themes on identity, encouraging participants to develop applications utilizing decentralized identity protocols. While specific projects related to OntID were not detailed, the environment fostered innovation in identity solutions.

Outcomes: Development of prototypes and projects that could potentially integrate with or complement OntID's decentralized identity framework.

Summary


ETHPrague 2025 confirmed the industry's growing interest in privacy, reputation, and decentralized identity. While neither Orange Protocol nor OntID were directly named, the insights gathered reinforce the importance of the work being done by both teams — and the potential impact of their tools on the future of Web3 coordination, governance, and user empowerment.
