> This transparency has historically allowed users to protect the community by uncovering elaborate scams, such as when “cybersleuth” Fedor Linnik discovered that the team behind a million-dollar “female-led” project was actually Russian men.
This made my chuckle. The article that it links to was aptly titled "This $1.5 million ‘women-led’ NFT project was actually run by Russian dudes" [0]
Since so much is driven by identity, is there a service where you can rent out front people to "lead" the team that check the right boxes? Kind of like the those ghost board members that sit on thousands of board of directors on Cayman Islands shell corps and just do what management says?

Like much of modern crypto-centric products, this is a solution in search of a problem. People are accustomed to going in headfirst without knowing who is behind these projects. It's 'decentralized' and features 'smart contracts' for 'trustless commerce'. What more do you need?

Buy a couple of pictures of smiling people from a peddler of it, and stick them on your website's 'About Us' section.
