Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:


PICTURES MISSING


Ecosystem (brainstorm)

  • group
  • Interconnected parts
  • equilibrium
  • self-sustaining
  • governance
  • networks
  • technology
  • dependencies
  • lifecycle
  • wolf-wyoming
  • trust
  • dynamics
  • diverse incentives


Complete (brainstorm)

  • self-sustaining
  • end-to-end
  • enough
  • finished
  • operational
  • compliant
  • purpose built (fit for purpose)
  • governance
  • point in time


Critical mass (brainstorm)

  • self-sustaining
  • Orbit x
  • equilibrium (homeostasis)
  • adoption
  • affordable
  • threshold
  • gravity x
  • viral
  • usability
  • governance
  • volume
  • market visibility
  • awareness
  • education level


Move 'self-sustainable' (category of it's own?)


Ingredients for an ecosystem

  • issuer
  • holder
  • verifier
  • regulatory framework (not governance)
  • demand / need (is not credential ...)
  • supply
  • awareness
  • credentials
  • economic model
  • standards

Black Swan event


Example of use case on Aruba got off the ground by first coming to an agreement with all parties involved

  • Health care providers
  • Government
  • Venues
  • six vendors involved in total
    • two issuers, two verifiers
  • prevent fraud


Complete ecosystem [build a good product] (someone needs to build a product that people like)

  • demand / need [opportunity]
  • regulating framework [potential]
  • Awareness |- [MVP]
  • Adoption (all parties) |-[MVP]
  • self-sustaining [scale]
  • problem must exist


When covid hit, lots of parties started building systems for covid

  • 90% failed
  • the ones that succeeded, built a better product
    • market-made
