Daniel Maddern - Beyond L1: Meta Earth’s Modular Network with Native DID - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025
In this compelling session from TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025, Daniel Maddern, Chief Technology Officer at Meta Earth, outlines the bold advancements of Meta Earth's modular network and its native Decentralized Identity (DID) solutions. With a background in cybersecurity and blockchain scaling, Daniel explores how Meta Earth is navigating the complex landscape of Web 3 to position blockchain as pivotal infrastructure for global innovation and societal transformation.
Meta Earth's ambitious vision targets not just innovation but also universal adoption by addressing critical challenges such as decentralization, scalability, and security. Daniel highlights the shortcomings of traditional blockchain systems that combine execution, consensus, and data storage into a single layer, leading to bottlenecks and high transaction fees. Meta Earth takes a unique approach by separating these layers through a modular network architecture that enhances performance and scalability. This enables the seamless integration of various components such as execution, settlement, and data availability tailored to user needs.
The talk delves into Meta Earth's Decentralized Identity (MIDI), which incorporates zero-knowledge proofs to balance compliance and privacy. MIDI introduces innovative economics by embedding Universal Basic Income (UBI) directly into its framework, ensuring fair token distribution and fostering effective engagement.
By sharing real-world success stories, including social impact initiatives across regions like Nigeria and Vietnam, Daniel demonstrates Meta Earth's commitment to merging blockchain technology with tangible human progress. With upcoming features in Mi Network 3.0 and strategic partnerships, Meta Earth's evolving ecosystem is geared to drive widespread adoption and reshape digital engagement.
