A privacy-preserving Web 3.0+ identity project, MetaMirror(@Auth3MetaMirror), was invited to Poly Network (@PolyNetwork2) AMA, taken place on October 13 in the Poly Network Telegram Community. From the Live AMA with Tracy, Marketing & Community manager in MetaMirror, this recap fully grasps the information discussed during the AMA.

INTRODUCTION

Poly Network is a global cross-chain protocol for implementing blockchain interoperability and building Web3.0 infrastructure. Poly Network has integrated 30+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, HECO, OKC, Neo, Ontology, Zilliqa, Harmony, Metis, etc. Since its launch, the protocol has enabled cross-chain asset transfers of more than USD 16 billion.

MetaMirror is a privacy-preserving Web 3.0+ identity project. MetaMirror helps users mirror themselves from Web2 world into Web3. As result, each user gets an MBuddy, which is their Web 3.0+ identity.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN LIVE AMA

Q1 We all have an identity in real life. But I’m not sure how is this useful. Could you elaborate?

A: In the Web2 world, you may not be aware of how your identity is used. But your identity is used extensively by tech companies. Every day you are streamed with advertisements and recommended videos and web pages. This information is tailored for you, based on your identity information.

You may find this convenient or annoying. But the other side of the story is: Tech companies are using your identity to make money.

They centrally control your data, and because they have such control, your personal data (sometimes sensitive data) is analyzed to find the best match advertisements. This generates real monetary value.

Q2 MBuddy is the Web3 version of this business?

A: No. MBuddy Identity is fundamentally different from the centralized identity. It is an identity that users control and benefit from. That means, each user controls their own identity data. And user benefits from their own identity data value.

Q3 What are the benefits we can get?

A: Technically, there are lots of ways that MBuddy can be used. At the moment, we have built an application for Web3 campaigns.

Because of the convenience of Web2 social media, Web3 projects often post campaigns on centralized platforms such as Twitter and Discord. After completing campaign tasks in Web2 platforms, we ought to receive benefits from this. This is a very straightforward use case of MBuddy — to check your task completion status.

On our website, you can find campaigns that are posted by top GameFi and NFT projects. You can join these campaigns, contribute to these Web3 projects, and use your Web2 data to claim the rewards!

Q4 Why did MetaMirror choose Poly Network among others for partnership?

A: As we mentioned, MetaMirror is a privacy-preserving Web 3.0+ identity project, and we aim to build an extended Web 3.0+ paradigm where data value from Web 2.0 is bridged onto Web 3.0, as well as the emerging #Metaverse.

As the trusted identity service for Web3.0, we believe that the partnership with Poly Network, will spread this service to more users and help them create their own Web3.0 identity and get back benefits from their data value.

Q5 Any exciting plan for future developments?What shall users expect?

A: In the near future, we’ll be focusing on promoting MBuddy and bringing more benefits & engagements to all communities. We will keep reaching out to other larger ecosystems. As the largest DID project on Oasis, we look forward to build partnerships with top projects, including top Layer1 platforms, NFT & GameFi projects, etc. Specifically, for the next months, the topics will be like:

Oct. — World Cup month

Nov. — NFT month

Dec. — GameFi month
