Privado ID and Disco Merge for Multichain Digital Identity
Barcelona-based digital identity platform Privado ID, formerly Polygon ID, announced a merger with Disco, a pioneer in multichain verifiable data and reputation management. The merger aims to create a unified, chain-agnostic digital identity infrastructure bridging Web2 and Web3. Privado ID will expand across multiple chains including Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base. Disco founder Evin McMullen joins Privado ID as co-founder and chief strategy officer. The combined entity is in advanced talks to bring identity solutions to DeFi platforms, enterprise ecosystems, and governance structures. Privado ID also recently partnered with Telefónica Tech to accelerate privacy-centric digital identity adoption across the EU. The merger leverages Disco's expertise in Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to enhance cross-chain compatibility.
Merger in the digital identity space could influence identity infrastructure for advertising and Web3, but it is not a major platform change affecting the broader AdTech ecosystem immediately.
