The development of Internet has further expanded people's social scope. Digital identity has been widely used. In social networks, the use of anonumity or pseudonym heightens the charm of the network. Nevertherless, when online payments, online transactions and online assets began to enter the Internet, the negative impact of virtualization ahas gradually emerged. As an individual's maker in Metaverse, digital identity may become a key factor to balance the association between anonymity and pseudonym. To sort out the current situation and possibility of the use of digital identity, this paper takes the appliction of digital identity in metaverse, and uses the "Enterprise IA" miniature model of Morey et al. . We analyzed the focus of the current debate on digital identity, hoping to reflect on the new problems on the basis of exploring the application rules of digital identity. The article belived that the nature of the metaverse is the digitalization of the physical word. Futhermore, the fundamental issue of digital identity is still the issue of power ownership. With the help of blockchain, privacy filter and other technologies, we can not only change the governance logic and methods, but also balance the correlation between private rights and public interests. We can explore new governance approaches to deal with the growing identity trust crisis, individual competition for identity authorization rights, and privacy problems in Metaverse.
