Decentralized identity allows users to complete KYC once via a DID, then reuse verified credentials (e.g., "verified investor") across DeFi platforms. Smart contracts automatically check compliance with regulations (e.g., AML checks) without storing sensitive data, reducing friction and costs. Users retain control over what data is shared, enhancing privacy. This streamlines onboarding, attracts institutional investors, and ensures regulatory adherence without centralizing user information.
