   this guy I follow on farcaster who I do think is very smart, nevertheless frequently publishes crypto whitepapers that are just buzzword word salad clearly (to me) written by ChatGPT.
   
   The papers go into great lengths to explain the benefits of DIDs to blockchain, but never detail which DIDs, which is important because they all have different properties; and functionally you could use your wallet address instead of a DID identity and you wouldn't need this separate abstraction at all. I have read the entire paper of AI goop and it never actually explains WHY you need DIDs to do anything.

     > When combined with Merkle proofs, DIDs allow users to prove membership or data inclusion within a given state without exposing the full underlying data, enhancing data verification and security. By integrating keystore contracts, agents secure and manage cryptographic keys while automating interactions with proof systems.
     
     which DID? who knows? How do merkel proofs provide anonymity? who knows? how do keystore contracts work when you can't hide raw data on-chain? who knows? agents, what does that mean, who knows?

     I guess yes merkle proofs can provide verification of data without exposing the full data, but this isn't new or innovative at all
