Ep. 474 Shady El Damaty | Web3 Privacy with Human Keys on Holonym For episode 474, Co-founder Shady El Damaty joins Brandon Zemp to discuss Holonym and how they are introducing Human Keys to make security and privacy more usable in web3 and zero trust environments. Shady El Damaty is an advocate for decentralized identity and data privacy. With a background spanning academia and decentralized science, he brings a unique perspective to building universal, secure digital identities through zero-knowledge proofs. Before Holonym, Shady founded Opscientia, the first decentralised science DAO, where he raised funding, launched a fellowship program, and led data-sharing initiatives. Founded in 2022, Holonym is building secure, private digital rights with three core tools: Human Keys for cryptographic identity, Silk for easy account access, and Zeronym for privacy by default. Together, these tools empower users to control their digital presence without compromising personal security. In two years, Holonym has raised $6M, achieved $1.5M in revenue, and launched the first profitable Zero-Knowledge (ZK) ID protocol, with over 200k credentials and 135k users. Innovations like the Mishti Network and ZK verification tools have positioned Holonym as a leader in decentralized privacy and regulatory tech solutions. ⏳ Timestamps: 0:00 | Introduction 1:08 | Who is Shady El Damaty? 6:03 | What is Holonym? 9:19 | Human Keys 10:55 | Mishti Network 16:10 | Holonym use-cases 19:22 | Silk Wallet 23:35 | Zeronym 26:43 | Real Human Identities in the Metaverse 32:35 | Holonym 2025 Roadmap 34:12 | Holonym social media & community 🎙 Holonym Links: 🔗 Website: https://holonym.id 🔗 X: https://x.com/0xHolonym 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shadyeldamaty 🔗 Developer Docs: https://developer.holonym.id ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● 📢 Disclaimer: None of our content constitutes, nor is intended to act as financial advice.
