Wallet-agnostic DIDs and recovery mechanisms (e.g., linking unused \u201cwarm\u201d wallets for 2-factor-style validation) are essential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Bigger picture<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Web3 identity turns wallets into proofs of history, games into reputation layers, and players into narrative stakeholders.
