Ordinary people don't care about domains, just nicknames. People love things made simple. SELF can be used as an entire digital identity, not just as a naming service. It will allow much more than easy transfers; it can be your online ID for numerous applications. For example, connect your wallet to a website which supports web3 protocol, provide a public email for communications, obtain official identity documentation stored on-chain, loyalty cards and much more. As the possibilities are endless, we will develop an expansive ecosystem for the SELF project. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://whitepaper.selfcrypto.io/self-whitepaper/core-product/web3-identity.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
