I encourage everyone who liked Keybase to add a comment to this issue to support opensourcing the server portion of Keybase.
https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/24105
Hopefully if enough people make their voices heard Zoom will either opensource it or maybe revive development of it.

It would be wasteful to throw away the Web of Trust (people with handles to keys) that everyone entered into Keybase. Hopefully, Zoom will consider opening up the remaining pieces of Keybase if not just spinning the product back out to a separate entity?
W3C DIDs and https://blockcerts

> There's also "Web Key Directory"; which hosts GPG keys over HTTPS from a .well-known URL for a given user@domain identifier: https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD
> GPG presumes secure key distribution
> Compared to existing PGP/GPG keyservers [HKP], WKD does rely upon HTTPS.
Blockcerts can be signed when granted to a particular identity entity:

We can also do signed identity proofs with better privacy than keybase's. Here's a public example https://beta.peergos.net/public/ianopolous/.profile/ids/iano...
ignoring its UX, https://upspin.io/ is the closest alternative that i'm aware of
