Give inscribers and collectors the option of a stable identity. This could be pseudonymous or doxxed, at user's discretion.

POSSIBLE IMPLEMENTATIONS:

  • prime inscriptions: a specific inscription that represents an individual, organization, or collection
  • publish pubkey (optionally)
  • other (...)

PRIVACY:

  • Need not be IRL identiy (pseudonyms would have similar benefits)
  • To preserve privacy, perhaps this should be opt-in
  • UX consideration --> how best to communicate the consequences of publicizing to users

Could have both public and private wallets/identities -- they need not be mutually exclusive.

RATIONALE:

In general:

  • provides a record of work, decisions, actions, provenance
  • yields information
  • fosters connections, inspiration, discussion, education, history
  • simplifies sharing a body of work, or a curated collection, via a single link/string

For artists:

  • demonstrates a body of work
  • strengthens provenance
  • yields information about other artists --> inspiration, connection, collaboration
  • yields information about collectors --> who is collecting/holding/selling, trends in art and curation

For collectors and speculators:

  • shows a record of curation/investment decisions
  • yields information relevant to curation/investment
  • yields information about artists and other collectors --> see trends, interact with other collectors, collaborate, commission

For appreciators:

  • explore inscriptions created and collected by others, be they friends and family, or icons of the culture
  • share
  • connect
