Leveraging Blockchain, Decentralized Identity (DID), and Social Integrations for Scalable, Trust-Centric Platforms: Composable Commerce in the Age of Web3

Abstract

This article examines how composable commerce architectures converge with Web3 technologies to transform digital commerce. Blockchain technology establishes transparent transaction frameworks that enhance trust through cryptographic verification rather than institutional guarantees. Decentralized identity specifications revolutionize authentication by returning data ownership to users while enhancing privacy through selective disclosure mechanisms. Social integrations create community-driven trust architectures that leverage token economics to align incentives between platforms and participants, enabling novel commercial interactions with minimal reliance on intermediaries. For organizations transitioning to Web3 commerce, layered architectural designs, progressive decentralization approaches, and robust security practices address the tensions between decentralization, security, and scalability. This technological convergence represents a fundamental restructuring of commercial relationships toward more equitable, transparent, and user-sovereign digital ecosystems.
