• An SSI Based System for Incentivized and Self-determined Customer-to-Business Data Sharing in a Local Economy Context IdUnion (paper

  Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) provides the technical building blocks to create decentralized data-driven systems, which bring data autonomy back to the users. In this paper we propose a system in which the combination of SSI and token economy based incentivisation strategies makes it possible to unlock the potential value of data-pools without compromising the data autonomy of the users.
