The term “self-sovereign commerce” jumped out at me while I was prototyping. It looks like it was never an actual term, so I had ChatGPT write a brief description for me. Not bad for a start.


“Self-sovereign commerce would likely refer to a system where individuals or businesses control their own commercial transactions and data, possibly through blockchain or other decentralized technologies. This could include managing contracts, payments, or supply chain interactions without intermediaries, promoting transparency and data privacy.

This model would align with broader movements towards decentralization, where users maintain authority over their own commercial activities, similar to how SSI enables control over digital identity. Blockchain technology, which is often used in SSI systems, could also support secure, transparent transactions in a self-sovereign commerce environment.”.
