Username smart contract about hicetnunc HOT 4 CLOSED

Could DirectAuth be used to validate/prove ownership of an account automatically against a Twitter/Google/Reddit account, as is done by kukai.app wallet? Since those can be essentially anonymous, it could potentially provide provenance without KYC.

I'm thinking on creating a smart contract where you can register a namespace urlencoded/in bytes along some metadata. on chain. it would have some costs but for me it would be the easiest way to achieve this still this week.

There would be need some entrypoints to also verify identities, as an oracle, opening the possibility of adapting other authentication/verification methods latter on. Thoughts?

Yes, it could be optional.

Potential for future integration with DID. https://github.com/spruceid/did-tezos

The crucial point is that anyone could fake this stuff, so it will always be up to the user checking it. Many people write it in the description field now, so once we see the "info" that problem is already slightly reduced... so #33 is high prio IMHO.
