Exploring Web3 and How Solana Handles Identity

From Web2 to Web3, identity remains an important aspect for authentication and authorization for both users and the server owners. However, the underlying architecture is shifting. In Web2, we rely on usernames and passwords stored on server owner’s hardware or handled by SSO vendors like Auth0, Google or Microsoft. On the other hand, in Web3 we swap databases for cryptographic keys. In this post, we’ll dive into how the Solana network uses these keys for On-Chain Identification. The Key-pair: Y
