Account Service Network: A Unified Decentralized Web 3.0 Portal With Credible Anonymity

The transition to Web 3.0 promises enhanced connectivity, security, decentralization, and user control. However, adoption has lagged due to scalability, interoperability, and usability challenges, as well as lack of trust in anonymous users. This paper presents the Account Service Network (ASN), a layer 2 blockchain solution offering a unified decentralized portal to access Web 3.0 services while ensuring credible anonymity and user control. Central to ASN is a one-person-one-account framework binding biometric data to user accounts to enable trusted anonymity. Further, ASN employs account abstraction and multi-party computation threshold signatures to provide a seamless experience across services. By tackling key obstacles facing Web 3.0, ASN can potentially accelerate mainstream adoption. We present ASN’s design and prototype implementation to demonstrate its feasibility.
