Soulbound tokens - Future of Cryptocurrency
Soulbound tokens (SBT) were first mentioned in a by in a paper published by Vitalik Buterin and others on May 11th, 2022. In the paper, Buterin et al suggest that even until now Web3 focused on “transferable and financialized assets, rather than encoding social relationships of trust”.
Abstract of the Soulbound tokens paper
Web3 today centers around expressing transferable, financialized assets, rather than encoding social relationships of trust. Yet many core economic activities—such as uncollateralized lending and building personal brands—are built on persistent, non-transferable relationships.
In this paper, we illustrate how non-transferable “soulbound” tokens (SBTs) representing the commitments, credentials, and affiliations of “Souls” can encode the trust networks of the real economy to establish provenance and reputation.
More importantly, SBTs enable other applications of increasing ambition, such as community wallet recovery, sybil-resistant governance, mechanisms for decentralization, and novel markets with decomposable, shared rights.
We call this richer, pluralistic ecosystem “Decentralized Society” (DeSoc)—a co-determined sociality, where Souls and communities come together bottom-up, as emergent properties of each other to co-create plural network goods and intelligences, at a range of scales.
Key to this sociality is decomposable property rights and enhanced governance mechanisms—such as quadratic funding discounted by correlation scores—that reward trust and cooperation while protecting networks from capture, extraction, and domination.
With such augmented sociality, web3 can eschew today’s hyper-financialization in favor of a more transformative, pluralist future of increasing returns across social distance.
In short, Soulbound Tokens are publicly visible, non-transferable tokens, which can be issued to wallets that are called Souls. Once issued, the tokens are bound to the “Soul”, thus enabling personal identification that was not possible in the past only with NFTs.
In summary, SBTs are NFTs that can’t be transferred once received. You will hold it in a Soul wallet forever. This will be a method for defining “social identity” in Web 3.0 and De-Fi. SBT will be you in future. So Cool!
What would SBT be used for?
There are several use cases for Soulbound tokens (or non-transferable NFTs), likely there will be even more cases in future.
Certification and Documentation – example your University Degree, your driving license etc
Proof of Attendance and Presence – Verify applicants/attendees of an event
Facilitate Lending and Borrowing – Your credit report can be represented using SBTs. This will offer lenders a borrower’s complete credit profile.
Voting – replace your national identity during voting. So cool!
Wallet Recovery – Buterin introduced the idea of a social recovery wallet in a January 2021 report.
