It looks very similar to Macaroons https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39204314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39204314 https://news.ycombinator.com/it

  Wafers are definitely inspired by Macaroons, but the core difference is that delegation is tied to identity. In Macaroons, anyone who holds the token can tack on caveats. In Wafers, only the current holder can extend it, and they can explicitly name the next holder by public key. That gives you a verifiable chain of custody instead of an unanchored blob.
