The Ukrainians Just Pulled Off the Most Successful Operation of the War (phillipspobrien.substack.com)

ERC-7866 is a draft Ethereum standard aimed at defining a minimal, extensible structure for decentralized profiles as soulbound NFTs. It builds on ideas from DIDs and SBTs, enabling delegation, staking, and verifiable metadata across chains and apps.

The motivation is to reduce fragmentation in how apps and wallets handle identity, while preserving composability and neutrality in trust models. The standard is chain-agnostic, DID-compatible, and avoids assumptions about centralized verification or naming services.
