This document is a product of the effort to enter all of the best blockchain, self-sovereign, and decentralized identity links into a database, which will power a [web-app](https://github.com/infominer33/Crypto-library) for search, manual navigation through the tags, and pages like this. With comments and reactions, so that it can become a co-operative effort among those who get involved. + +In the mean-time, after gathering all of the links I had already into [one collection](/blockchain-id.toml), I knew I could make an awesome document out of them sooner than a live demo of the app that is in progress. ### Contents @@ -305,14 +309,18 @@ On May 22 at Consensus 2017 the formation of the Decentralized Identity Foundati * [uPort](https://www.uport.me/) [[**github**](https://github.com/uport-project/)] [[**twitter**](https://twitter.com/uport_me)] * [Ethereum studio ConsenSys launches 'Internet-of-People' with digital IDs and assets secured on Ubuntu phones](http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ethereum-studio-consensys-launches-internet-people-digital-ids-assets-secured-unbuntu-phones-1542620) * [Year in Review.
