Soulbound: On or off Chain? | Vitalik Buterin and Evin McMullen

A fascinating intellectual debate is emerging in the world of decentralized identity. Today, Vitalik represents Soulbound NFTs, while Disco’s Evin McMullen takes the side of VCs (verifiable credentials).

From your credit history to your college degree, what is it that defines you?

After listening to these two gigabrains hash it out, we’re convinced that the real winner of this debate… is humanity.
