Re: Web 7.0 DID OS

Also guys,

Wanted you to see a Visibility/Tracking issue for Cross-Chain
Interoperability for name-based DIDs (SNS and ENS), but, beyond the
traditional BC related DIDs, this particular approach aims to resolve the
Privacy Issues that the BC public layer poses. I designed the DID:SNS spec
with production grade, cross-border financial usage in mind, and the
cross-chain interop extends that reach.
