This is a *really* good thread rounding up #Web3 identity and privacy tech companies. Wanted to throw in a few more on the list that IMO deserve a mention...

@AnonyomeLabs, which is working on a wide-ranging super-toolkit that covers phone, email, passwords, credentials

@Avast, one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies that now owns @evernym and @SecureKey (and is likely to be a powerhouse in wide-ranging existing user base)

@darrello from Continuum Loop (no Twitter?) for niche consulting and expertise in digital identity

@DigitalBCGov is a pioneer in corporate identity in terms of a govt agency adopting privacy-preserving tech (vonx.io) and a core contributor to many aspects of the AnonCreds and Hyperledger Indy standards (shoutout to @scurranC3I for corralling a lot of this).

@DanubeTech, who have been instrumental as contributors to the @DecentralizedID Universal Resolver (dev.uniresolver.io) and Universal Registrar (uniregistrar.io) projects.

@didxyz which leads the space in SSI in Africa and were also core contributors to the @cosmos DID specification (not the same as the one @cheqd_io) is building.

@EssifL - the European Self Sovereign Identity Framework Lab - which has been incubating dozens of projects and startups. Their projects list itself is an excellent resource on some small and large projects in Europe at varying levels of maturity essif-lab.eu/our-projects/

@GLEIF issues Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) and has been at forefront of making corporate data/identity portable. One of the core supporters behind KERI (keri.one) - a ledger-less take on Decentralized Identifiers.

@IDunion_SCE, a consortium for digital identity in Germany with govt agencies, banks, etc and whole host of SSI vendors such as @esatusAG, @eeccLab, @DanubeTech, @VERIMI_Now, @spherity. Too many to list here! Germany is a real hotbed for this tech.

@lissi_id who works with German and Dutch banks for portable digital identity, among others. (People should follow @doerkadrian on their team for good insights and research on SSI.)

@magic_labs is building @okta-like simple and easy to integrate single-sign-on technology that supports Web2 logins as well as Ethereum/Web3 sign-in modes. Very cool idea for making ease of use better for app developers.

@SecureKey is behind the did:orb method, an offshoot of did:ion that's used by @Microsoft, and important contributors Hyperledger Aries. Also now part of @Avast.

@trustoverip Foundation supports the development and advancement a lot of the standards in decentralised identity, with working groups contributing to @w3c and @DecentralizedID standards and guidance.

@truu_id has been trailblazing simpler and portable onboarding for medical staff in @NHSuk. beta.staffpassports.nhs.uk

I'm sure I'm missing out on MANY more companies/projects here, and my apologies for those omissions as I was thinking off the top of my head.

I learnt about quite a few I didn't know from @AnastasiaU's thread. Please tell me about any I missed!
