Digital Identities: The Primary Key to Metaeconomics

Selim Yazıcı, Arzu Kilitci Calayır

We have physical identities that define us in the physical world we live in. In the digital world, physical identities are replaced by digital identities. We effectively use digital identities on the Web 2.0 internet in different online platforms, especially in social media, e-government, and financial transactions, in which we are actively involved. But the digital identities on Web 2.0 are not suitable for Web 3.0 internet for accessing the Metaverse because digital identities include digital assets as well as social relations in the Metaverse. For the Metaverse, which offers social and economic value through blockchain technology, smart contracts, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), digital identities are not only an avatar used in the Metaverse, but also have important elements that will affect the contribution to the Metaverse Economy (Metaeconomy). For this reason, digital identities are of primary importance to build the Metaeconomy in terms of being personal and easily managed by the identity holder, being accessible from anywhere and anytime, being permanent and inclusive of anyone. The aim of this study is to present the importance of decentralized digital identity for the Metaverse and its contributions to Metaeconomics. Additionally, it is also intended to offer a sustainable digital identity model design based on design principles and identity management models.

Dijital Kimlikler: Metaekonominin Temel Unsurları

Selim Yazıcı, Arzu Kilitci Calayır

İçinde yaşadığımız fiziksel dünyada bizi tanımlayan fiziksel kimliklerimiz bulunmaktadır. Dijital dünyada ise fiziksel kimliklerin yerini dijital kimlikler almaktadır. Web 2.0 internet üzerindeki dijital kimlikleri sosyal medya, e-devlet ve finansal işlemler başta olmak üzere aktif olarak yer aldığımız farklı çevrimiçi platformlarda etkin bir şekilde kullanıyoruz. Ancak Web 2.0’daki dijital kimlikler Metaverse’e erişim için Web 3.0 internetine uygun değildir çünkü dijital kimlikler Metaverse’te sosyal ilişkilerin yanı sıra dijital varlıkları da içermektedir. Blok zinciri teknolojisi, akıllı sözleşmeler ve Nitelikli Fikri Tapu’lar (NFTs) aracılığıyla sosyal ve ekonomik değer sunan Metaverse için dijital kimlikler sadece Metaverse’de kullanılan bir avatar değil, aynı zamanda “Metaverse Ekonomisi”ne (Metaekonomi) katkıyı etkileyecek önemli unsurlardır. Bu nedenle dijital kimlikler, kişisel olmaları ve kimlik sahibi tarafından kolaylıkla yönetilebilmeleri, her yerden ve her zaman erişilebilir olmaları, kalıcı olmaları ve herkesi kapsamaları açısından metaekonomiyi inşa etmek için birincil öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, merkezi olmayan dijital kimliğin Metaverse için önemini ve Metaekonomiye sunacağı katkılarını ortaya koymaktır. Ayrıca tasarım ilkelerine ve kimlik yönetim modellerine dayalı sürdürülebilir bir dijital kimlik modeli tasarımı sunmak da amaçlanmaktadır.
