[ERC-7866] A standard for decentralized profiles using soulbound NFTs

Hey folks,

Sharing a draft EIP I’ve been working on: ERC-7866, which proposes a way to represent on-chain decentralized profiles as soulbound NFTs with rich metadata, delegation, and staking support.

It’s meant to act as a foundational standard for identity in Ethereum and L2s which is minimal by design, compatible with existing DID specs, and focused on composability.

Potential use-cases include:

• DAO contributor identities
• Game avatars or XP profiles
• Wallet usernames with on-chain context
• Compliance-aware attestations (with optional staking)

The proposal is early-stage and open to iteration. Feedback is welcome, especially from people building DID systems, wallet infra, or cross-chain identity tools.
