We’re a quarter of a century into an era of digital feudalism. The feudal system is a medieval construct: serfs work the land to create value, and landlords confiscate most of that value. Today, instead of farm produce, the asset class is data—created by us, but captured by digital landlords such as social media and other Web2 applications. “Surfing the internet” has become “serfing the internet,” with users yielding intimate details of their lives for the internet lordships to aggregate, expropriate, and monetize.

However, the overall trend is that the new era for digital identity in Germany is arriving: the invitation is sent by the public sector, the solutions being developed by the public sector and in public/private partnerships, and behavior among consumers shifting to accept digital flows.

Decentralized identity startups are having a moment as investors seek the next generation of killer applications in web3, even in times of market volatility. Blockchain-based identity systems, they argue, are the portal to user-facing applications in the decentralized land, whether the piece of identity is used to send tokens or showcase a gamer’s achievement.
Los Angeles-based Carv is the latest contender in the space to have attracted investor attention. The company recently raised $4 million, valuing it at a handsome $40 million, it tells TechCrunch. The round was led by Vertex, an early-stage focused VC firm under the Singaporean sovereign wealth fund Temasek.
