Abstract: The disclosure relates to user-centric access to blockchain-based services accessed through a telecom network. User devices may each include a Digital Passport Application (“DPA”), which may be stored at an eSIM of the user device. The DPA may be directed to and anchor to an Edge Digital Gate (“EDG”) entitled to provide access to blockchain-based services. The DPA may store a digital persona that digitally represents an entity such as a user or machine so that the DPA may access and interact with blockchain-based services on behalf of the entity. For instance, the digital persona may bind a physical identity of the entity with a digital identity through a private key of the entity. The private key may be used to digitally signed the access token. The digital persona may further link the digital identity with one or more (typically multiple) virtual identities each associated with a blockchain-based service.
