Next, I will introduce the project in detail:
Introduction to Project Lifeform
< /p>
Lifeform is a decentralized visual digital identity (DID) project. Visual DID is the visual identification of users in Web 3. It can help everyone create their first Web 3 virtual identity through MPC or zero-knowledge proof. Of course, it is accompanied by more practical functions. For example, users can bind wallets, digital assets, etc. through their own DID image, through Visual DID is applied to various scenarios, such as metaverse, games, live broadcast, IP, conferences, etc. Currently, there may be only one project on the market dedicated to visual DID combined with virtual humans and NFT, Lifeform.
Different from similar DID or 3D virtual human and NFT projects, Lifeform emphasizes " Integration", which not only has the interaction between web 2 and web 3, but also realizes the interaction between web 3. While having a decentralized identity, it also pays attention to the visual experience. Visually, users can use the powerful virtual human editor DIY The role of the company pays more attention to details, and this UGC model may make its future ecology more prosperous and diverse.
It is reported that Lifeform will issue tokens in the future with a total supply of 1 billion. The floor price of the project HALO series NFT on OpenSea is 1.298 eth. Previously, its airdropped NFT-Life Avatar Poap is currently worth about 2000u. Recently, Lifeform Avatar Public Mint was launched, and you can pay 1 USD Mint for an avatar (only for one month, and it will be 100 USD after one month).

Lifeform Project Highlights
Innovation
Web 2 Compatibility
Digital identification technology originated in Web 2 In the early days of the application, people had their own identification certificates on the Internet, but with the rise of a few technology giants (Microsoft, Google, Facebook), digital identities have become "platform" digital identities, and centralized control Digital identities can serve you or break you. At present, if a DID project wants to do well, it must first be compatible with Web 2 applications. Lifeform solves this problem. Visual DID is not only the hub of Web 3, but also an effective path from Web 2 to Web 3.
Visual Presentation
In the application of Web 2 and Web 3, the form of communication and interaction has become a more vivid and specific video method (video conferencing , chatting, activities), and the emerging platforms such as short videos put more emphasis on user experience and immersion. Under the booming development trend of virtual characters, metaverse, and 3D games today, immersive experience has become the most social and immersion experience for most users. The pursuit of entertainment and the way of user name login can no longer meet their needs, that is to say, the DID project can not only be digital identification, but also have more visual effects and animation effects. The subtlety of Lifeform is the combination of DID project and 3D virtual human (or NFT), which not only brings digital identification but also meets the needs of users in terms of vision and experience, making your virtual avatar more personal and spiritual. soul.
Web 3 Integration
The primary problem of adopting blockchain technology in the Web 3 system is the realization of economic and social value, which requires interoperability and composability, combining user asset identity or other holdings with their digital ownership, Lifeform aims to provide users with "composability" in terms of Web 3 integration. These avatars can not only be used for mainstream Web 2 video-type applications (such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, etc.), and can also log in as a user of a Dapp in Web 3, which will not cause a monopoly of a certain Web 3 application and enable users to transition to Web 3 smoothly.
Technical aspects

Existing Questions
The common problems in Web 2 come from the platform, which binds your data and identity on the platform. After you leave the platform, your data and identity will be Then it will fail, and the same situation is very common in Web 3. Your identity in Decentraland cannot be brought into the Sandbox, and it is difficult to coexist on the same chain. It can be seen that it will only be more difficult to integrate identities across chains in the future.
Current Web 3 identity protocols do not allow users to transfer their identities to desired platforms or wallet.
At present, most DID projects still use digital wallets, and it is difficult to change this . And, for most users, integrating resources, data, assets, identities, and state into one avatar seems even less safe in the Web 3 where scams are common.
Web 2 brought easy username identification, but so far Web 3 The identification mechanism still depends on Web 2, and the domain name suffix (.eth, etc.) is also taken from the concept of Web 2-it is a deep-rooted concept of everyone.
Web 3 is not only aimed at the financial field, but for a social field, the wallet cannot serve it better and more flexibly.
