Sahil Handa, the platform’s co-founder, recently noted; 

“There is a rapidly increasing number of people using crypto pseudonyms to purchase digital currency, swap NFTs, vote on proposals, and manage treasuries… The problem is that whenever someone tries to communicate with another person in this Network, there is no way of knowing whether or not they are talking to the right person.”
