@RadxChange*
A 2 day virtual event, happening on August 16 & 18th. Each day runs from
7am PST to 11pm PST

Why this event? We were thinking about a special topic event 1/2 virtual
event on Identity in Web3 but then the DeSoc Paper Decentralized Society:
Finding Web3's Soul came out
a whole conversation about how NFTs, SoulBound Tokens (a new idea) and
standards we have been working on at IIW for many years ensued. Kaliya &
Heidi are working with RadicalxChange (an excellent community of humans
working on interesting things) on this event and all of you interested in
topics related to digital identity in Web3, the Metaverse, proof of
humanity etc. are encouraged to join us at this event.
