IDTech

IDtech seems to be a reiteration of the centralized identity services we've seen in the past. Although it attempts to introduce decentralized elements, it does not fully embrace the true principles of decentralization that we observe in other approaches such as Web5.

Web5 truly shifts control back to the users, offering them the power and autonomy to manage their own identities and data. This is in contrast to IDtech, which appears to still rely heavily on organizations to provide identity services, therefore not fully decentralized.

The Web5 approach to identity management is far more user-centric and privacy-preserving. It's about creating an ecosystem where users have complete sovereignty over their digital identities.

Players in the IDtech space seem to purposefully overlook the significance of the underlying technology that drives freedom and security online. Web5 not only encourages innovation in product design but also pushes for advancements in the technology that powers these products. This combination of technology and product innovation is what makes Web5 superior in the long run.

In conclusion, while IDtech might be a step forward from traditional centralized identity systems, it still falls short when compared to the potential offered by Web5. The latter, with its truly decentralized nature, offers a more promising and secure future for digital identity management.
