That's some serious kool-aid that the author has been drinking.

Nothing worthwhile in the article, users will be asked in a popup to sign a message they don't understand and will click-through anyway, and this hyperbole is applicable anyway only to dApps on Ethereum.

The best alternative to JWTs looked like it was going to be https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-paragon-paseto-rfc-00.html but the reference implementation and RFC have gone quiet, and these days JWTs are basically OK, the security problems are largely solved by more sensible defaults in most of the common language implementations.
