SSI - Design the future of identity

It has the power to improve the lives of billions of people, applies to every industry and is a cornerstone of Web3 development.

Delivery of prototypes or implementation of solutions that demonstrate transformed user experiences that increase credential verifications.

1. Number of roles and individuals that this solution will impact

2. Demonstrate reduced friction in the users experience and simplify processes. This could be measured in time, cost and empathy

Our challenge is an evolution of the following challenges from previous funding rounds

- Fund 6: Atala PRISM DID Mass-Scale Adoption (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/campaigns/26116/about)

- Fund 7: Accelerate Decentralized Identity      (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/campaigns/26254/about)

- Fund 8: Accelerate Decentralized Identity       (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/campaigns/26443/about)

- Fund 8: Self-sovereign Identity                         (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/campaigns/26451/about)

Connecting everything we are learning with the Atala PRISM Pioneer Program participants, we want to focus on human-centric solutions, and therefore encourage YOU (Customer Experience (CX) designers, User Experience (UX) designers, User Interface (UI) designers, Deep Thinkers, Futurologists and Visionaries) to imagine what digital interactions could look like in the future. We want you to ideate about transformed information exchange experiences across one or more industries/verticals. Here are some points to prompt your thinking:

- Think of everyday problems you encounter

- Think of specific people you can help

- Discover how Digital Identity could overcome these problems

- What opportunities for SSI products and services do you see in your environment?

- Problems that need to be solved - what does it look like today and what could it look like tomorrow

- How can people start using this technology without writing a single piece of code? Make it easy to create, issue and verify credentials

Deliverables

What are we expecting to see amongst the various proposals that are submitted for this challenge:

- Best in class concepts, prototypes or implementations that will wow customers / clients of the future

- Products or services

- Insightful research and research outcomes such as reports, case studies and videos

Atala PRISM Pioneer Program

If you are new to decentralized identity, we invite you to register for the Atala PRISM Pioneer Program which is a self paced learning program that will upskill you on decentralized identity. Although the course is very comprehensive, proposers of this challenge could benefit much from going through the lectures and fireside chat videos as this will offer immense insights into what digital identity is and how people are currently thinking about its application.

Any member of the Catalyst Community inspired to write a proposal can request access to the Atala PRISM Pioneer Program by completing this form: https://atalaprism.io/pioneers.

We encourage you to use your new super power (knowledge of decentralized digital identity) to submit your proposal on Ideascale.

Upon joining the program, you will be part of a pioneering community of developers and entrepreneurs, who are core to creating a rich ecosystem.

As part of the program, you will get access to our online course curriculum that will help build and deepen your understanding of SSI fundamentals plus

- Access to 1:1 office hours with Atala Product & PSG teams for consulting on your use cases

- Weekly breakout sessions, post Catalyst townhall

- Fireside chats

- FAQs

- Access to our Atala PRISM community discord channel

- Early Access to our Atala PRISM GitHub repository

- Biweekly feedback sessions

In addition, we will support the growth of high-value credentials and enable partnerships from concept, to development, to commercialization
