RepConnect Summit Istanbul Recap

RepConnect, a half-day summit hosted by Ceramic, brought together developers and thought leaders from Gitcoin, Disco, Karma3, Lit, Veramo Labs, Intuition, and more to discuss the current approaches to building and collaborating on composable reputation systems. The goal of the event was to provide a space for builders and visionaries to confront the technical hurdles of composable reputation and collaborate on its future.

We had a blast sharing ideas, hearing different perspectives and are excited to continue collaborating on approaches to reputation systems. Below you’ll find a short recap and video footage of the event if you missed it.

‘Reclaiming the Contextual Internet With Composable Identities’ With Index Network

Current centralized algorithms limit our ability to express and interpret meaning, and there is a need to reclaim the fragmented context of the internet to create a composable environment for future identities, enabling decentralized information discovery and collaboration.

'How to Navigate Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Data in Web3' With Veramo Labs

Veramo Labs has developed a modular framework, called Vero, which allows for flexible credential creation and issuance, remote functionality and configuration switching, and integration with various platforms and plugins—ultimately enabling the navigation of decentralized identity and verifiable data.

DAOstar at RepConnect

DAOs are still in their early stages and DAOstar wants your help to build standards and specifications for easier discovery and compatibility.

'Proof of Creativity: Network-Based Accumulation of Online Reputation' With Newcoin

The future of Web3 involves a shift toward a network-based approach for accumulating online reputation, with a focus on human-centric machine learning, opt-in data sharing, and the use of blockchain to provide context to publicly available data—all in the service of solving the contextual nature of reputation.
