Nah, There’s other ways to store data while preserving confidentiality, integrity and availability that isn’t on the blockchain. Besides A public ledger connected to a specific profile could make it easier for the profile to be doxxed/fingerprinted.

Spitballing here but a service using simple key-pairs might be a better way to do this.

• Users generate a key pair client-side.

• Public key is stored on the server, acting as the user’s identity.

• To update their profile, users sign the request with their private key. (Data is signed/verified client side before submission)

• The server verifies the signature using the stored public key before edits can be made.

Because data signature/verification are done client side theoretically you don’t need a ledger, your client can enforce profile state. (Maybe an HMAC is sent with the verified data and there reverted periodically by the client)
