What is ERC 725?

ERC 725 is a generic standard for execution and data store. Its most common implementation is a blockchain-based identity/smart contract account. The current implementation is called Universal Profiles / ERC725Account and can be found on the LUKSO Blockchain, an Ethereum twin network

Why ERC 725?

ERC 725 allows for self-sovereign identity. Users should be able to own and manage their identity instead of ceding ownership of identity to centralized organizations. We have seen the negative effects of having centralized identity with damaging leaks. An open, extensible standard for accounts will enable decentralized reputation, governance, and more. Users will be able to take their identity across different Dapps and platforms that support this standard.
