Anonymity in Web3 means users' actions cannot be traced back to their real-world identities, offering complete privacy. No link exists between online activities and personal information. Pseudonymity, however, allows users to act under a persistent, fake identity (pseudonym) without revealing their real name. While pseudonyms obscure direct identification, they can still be linked to actions over time. Anonymity provides stronger privacy, whereas pseudonymity balances privacy with accountability, enabling reputation systems without exposing true identities.

Token-based identity relies on cryptographic tokens (e.g., JWTs, OAuth access tokens) for authentication, often tied to centralized services. These tokens grant temporary access but lack portability and user control. Credential-based identity uses verifiable credentials (VCs) issued by trusted entities, enabling users to own and share attributes (e.g., age, qualifications) across platforms. VCs leverage decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and zero-knowledge proofs for privacy, offering greater autonomy and interoperability compared to ephemeral token systems.
