“If you pick a grain of sand, what is the probability that two of us pick the same one?” With this example, Miguel Pupo Correia, President of the INESC-ID Executive Committee, illustrates the probabilistic uniqueness of DIDs (Decentralised Identifiers), during his keynote “Blockchain and Digital Identity: DIDs, VCs, and EBSI”. This intervention took place during the Madeira Blockchain Conference 2024, which happened in Funchal at the end of the last year. 

When asked about his participation, Miguel Pupo Correia adds: “This yearly conference brings together experts from all Web 3 areas — startup founders, academics, legal experts, etc. — both national and international, showcasing the state of the ecosystem and bringing inspiration for people interested in the topic.”

The video is now available on the conference’s Youtube Channel. If you are curious to know more about blockchain, digital identity and related use cases, we encourage you to follow the link and watch the full presentation.
