Decentralized ID (DID) offers several advantages over federated identity systems, especially when implemented through services like Supra Name Service (SNS) on Dexlyn:
User Control & Ownership: With SNS on Dexlyn, your digital identity (e.g., yourname.supra) is managed directly on the blockchain. You truly own your identity and credentials, rather than relying on a third-party provider, so no single company can revoke or alter your access.
Privacy & Security: Decentralized IDs are not tied to centralized databases, reducing the risk of mass data breaches and unauthorized surveillance. Dexlyn’s SNS ensures that your identity is verifiable without exposing sensitive personal data, and only you control what information is shared.
Censorship Resistance: Since SNS operates on smart contracts and is not controlled by any central authority, your identity cannot be censored, suspended, or manipulated by external parties.
Interoperability: SNS domains can be used across wallets, dApps, and DeFi protocols on Supra L1, making your identity portable and usable throughout the ecosystem, unlike federated identities which are often siloed to specific platforms.
Enhanced User Experience: SNS replaces complex wallet addresses with human-readable names, making blockchain interactions simpler and more intuitive, while still maintaining the benefits of decentralization.
In contrast, federated identity systems (like logging in with Google or Facebook) rely on central authorities, which can revoke access, track user activity, and are vulnerable to data breaches or outages. With SNS on Dexlyn, your identity is yours alone—secure, private, and portable across the decentralized web.
