excerpt: >
Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

* [Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0](https://w3c.github.io/did-core/)
> Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

> DID DID string
> schema
> ```
> One of our main goal is to protect users’ privacy. So people do not use the DID generated from their master key to talk to DAPPs, instead, the WALLET automatically generates an extended DID according to the user’s master DID and the DAPP’s DID and use this extended DID to communicate with the DAPP.
### [**`did:btcr:`**](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/didm-btcr)
###### For Bitcoin, by Christopher Allen, Ryan Grant, Kim Hamilton Duffy
> The Bitcoin Reference DID method (did:btcr) supports DIDs on the public Bitcoin blockchain. The Bitcoin Reference method has minimal design goals: a DID trust anchor based on the Bitcoin blockchain, updates publicly visible and auditable via Bitcoin transactions, and optionally, additional DID Document information referenced in the transaction OP_RETURN data field. No other Personal Identifiable Information (PII) would be placed on the immutable blockchain.
>
> A secondary intent of the BTCR method is to serve as a very conservative, very secure example and some best practices for creating a DID method. The use cases for BTCR are focused on anonymous and pseudo-anonymous identities, web-of-trust style webs of identity, and absolute mimimal personal information disclosure. Other DID methods will likely need to loosen these standards.
>
> Some aspects of the BTCR method will not be practical if inappropriately scaled — for instance, there is a transaction cost to update keys and DDO object, potential UTXO inflation (i.e. one additional unspent output for every BTCR-based identity), and even if segwit isn’t used it could cause blockchain bloat. However, identities using the BTCR method can be a strong as Bitcoin itself -- currently securing billions of dollars of digital value.
### [**`did:stack:`**](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-core/blob/stacks-1.0/docs/blockstack-did-spec.md)
###### For Bitcoin, by Jude Nelson
> Blockstack's DID method is specified as part of its decentralized naming system. Each name in Blockstack has one or more corresponding DIDs, and each Blockstack DID corresponds to exactly one name -- even if the name was revoked by its owner, expired, or was re-registered to a different owner.
>
> Blockstack is unique among decentralized identity systems in that it is not anchored to a specific blockchain or DLT implementation. The system is designed from the ground up to be portable, and has already been live-migrated from the Namecoin blockchain to the Bitcoin blockchain. The operational ethos of Blockstack is to leverage the must secure blockchain at all times -- that is, the one that is considered hardest to attack.
>
> Blockstack's naming system and its DIDs transcend the underlying blockchain, and will continue to resolve to DID document objects (DDOs) even if the system migrates to a new blockchain in the future.
### [**`did:erc725:`**](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/DID-Method-erc725.md)
###### For Ethereum, by Markus Sabadello, Fabian Vogelsteller, Peter Kolarov
> Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs, see [1]) are designed to be compatible with any distributed ledger or network (called the target system). In the Ethereum community, a pattern known as ERC725 (see [2]) utilizes smart contracts for standard key management functions. We propose a new DID method that allows ERC725 identities to be treated as valid DIDs. One advantage of this DID method over others appears to be the ability to use the full flexibility of Ethereum smart contracts for key management purposes.
### [**`did:example:`**](https://w3c.github.io/did-core/#a-simple-example)
###### DID Specification, by W3C Credentials Community Group
> A DID is a simple text string consisting of three parts, the:
> - URI scheme identifier (did)
> - Identifier for the DID method
> - DID method-specific identifier.
>
> **EXAMPLE 1: A simple example of a decentralized identifier (DID)**
> ```
> did:example:123456789abcdefghi
> ```
> The example DID above resolves to a DID document. A DID document contains information associated with the DID, such as ways to cryptographically authenticate the DID controller, as well as services that can be used to interact with the DID subject.
>
> **EXAMPLE 2: Minimal self-managed DID document**
> ```
> {
> "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1",
> "id": "did:example:123456789abcdefghi",
> "authentication": [{

### [**`did:ipid:`**](https://did-ipid.github.io/ipid-did-method/)
###### For IPFS, by TranSendX
> The Interplanetary Identifiers DID method (did:ipid:) supports DIDs on the public and private Interplanetary File System (IPFS) networks. IPFS is the distributed content addressable permanent web. More specifically, the IPID DID method utilizes the Interplanetary Linked Data (IPLD) suite of tools. The IPID DID method has minimal design goals: a DID trust anchor based on the IPFS and Libp2p protocol. In and of itself, this is not a blockchain solution. However, blockchains and other distributed ledger technologies could be utilized to anchor the artifacts of this DID methods for further enhanced security.
### [**`did:life:`**](https://lifeid.github.io/did-method-spec/)
###### For RChain, by lifeID Foundation
> lifeID is a decentralized, blockchain-based protocol that acts as an open identity provider. The protocol enables the creation and use of self-sovereign identities as well as the issuance of verifiable credentials to those identities. The blockchain-based components of the protocol include smart contracts for storage, revocation, and recovery of keys and credentials. These contracts may be run on any open, permissionless blockchain. The purpose of this protocol is to allow users to transact their identity in a way that minimizes data disclosure, is cryptographically secure, and enables censorship-resistant decentralized identity provisioning and recovery. The purpose of this specification is to describe how lifeID DIDs are created and the technical requirements to operate on the lifeID platform.
### [**`did:sov:`**](https://sovrin-foundation.github.io/sovrin/spec/did-method-spec-template.html)
###### For Sovrin, by Mike Lodder
> Sovrin is a public ledger designed specifically and only for privacy-preserving self-sovereign identity. The Sovrin Ledger is governed by the international non-profit Sovrin Foundation. As the only public ledger designed exclusively for self-sovereign identity, Sovrin is optimized for DIDs and DID Documents. DIDs are created, stored, and used with verifiable claims. This specification covers how these DIDs are managed. It also describes related features of Sovrin of particular interest to DID owners, guardians, and developers.
### [**`did:ethr:`**](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ethr-did-resolver/blob/master/doc/did-method-spec.md)
###### For Ethereum, by uPort
> In the Ethereum community, a pattern known as ERC1056 (see [2]) utilizes a smart contract for a lightweight identity management system intended explicitly for off-chain usage.
>
> The described DID method allows any Ethereum smart contract or key pair account to become a valid identity. An identity needs no registration. In the case that key management or additional attributes such as "service endpoints" are required, we deployed ERC1056 smart contracts on:
Mainnet • Ropsten • Rinkeby • Goerli • Kovan • RSK • Alastria • Telsius • ARTIS tau1 • ARTIS sigma1
> Since each Ethereum transaction must be funded, there is a growing trend of on-chain transactions that are authenticated via an externally created signature and not by the actual transaction originator. This allows for 3rd party funding services, or for receivers to pay without any fundamental changes to the underlying Ethereum architecture. These kinds of transactions have to be signed by an actual key pair and thus cannot be used to represent smart contract based Ethereum accounts. ERC1056 proposes a way of a smart contract or regular key pair delegating signing for various purposes to externally managed key pairs. This allows a smart contract to be represented, both on-chain as well as off-chain or in payment channels through temporary or permanent delegates.

### [**`did:v1:`**](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-v1/)
###### For Veres One, by Digital Bazaar
> There are two primary classes of DID-based identifiers in Veres One. The first type of identifier is called a cryptonym-based identifier. This identifier is a SHA-256 hash of a public key. Cryptonym-based identifiers are not required to be registered on the ledger and may be used as unregistered pseudonymous pairwise identifiers. These identifiers may also be registered on the ledger and MUST contain a authentication key with a public key fingerprint equal to the value of the cryptonym-based identifier.

> ```
> did:v1:nym:4jWHwNdrG9-6jd9I7K1si3kTRneNwftZV9m6rkrAfWQ
> ```
> The second type of identifier on Veres One is a UUID-based identifier and may be used by entities that want to store metadata on the ledger. These sorts of identifiers are often used, but not limited to, storing and refering to Capabilities and Revocation lists.

> This document is divided into two parts:
> - The first one defines the Alastria DID Method Specification, describing the Alastria DID Scheme and the Alastria DID Document.
> - The second part describes the format for Alastria Credentials and Presentations in the current Alastria Red T, based on Quorum.

> - The DID resolving capabilities MUST be exposed in the client libraries, enabling to resolve a DDO directly in a totally transparent way
> - ASSETS are DATA objects describing RESOURCES under control of a PUBLISHER
> - KEEPER stores on-chain only the essential information about ASSETS
> - PROVIDERS store the ASSET metadata off-chain
> - KEEPER doesn't store any ASSET metadata
> - OCEAN doesn't store ASSET contents (e.g. files)
> - An ASSET is modeled in OCEAN as on-chain information stored in the KEEPER and metadata stored in OCEANDB
> - ASSETS on-chain information only can be modified by OWNERS or DELEGATED USERS
> - ASSETS can be resolved using a Decentralized ID (DID) included on-chain and off-chain
> - A DID Document (DDO) should include the ASSET metadata
> - Any kind of object registered in Ocean SHOULD have a DID allowing one to uniquely identify that object in the system
> - ASSET DDO (and the metadata included as part of the DDO) is associated to the ASSET information stored on-chain using a common DID
> - A DID can be resolved to get access to a DDO
> - ASSET DDOs can be updated without updating the on-chain information
> - ASSET information stored in the KEEPER will include a checksum attribute
> - The ASSET on-chain checksum attribute SHOULD include a one-way HASH calculated using the DDO content
> - After the DDO resolving, the DDO HASH can be calculated off-chain to validate if the on-chain and off-chain information is aligned
> - A HASH not matching with the checksum on-chain means the DDO was modified without the on-chain update
> - The function to calculate the HASH MUST BE standard

### [**`did:ion:`**](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ion-did-method)
###### For Bitcoin, by Various DIF contributors
> ION is a public, permissionless, Decentralized Identifier (DID) network that implements the blockchain-agnostic Sidetree protocol on top of Bitcoin (as a 'Layer 2' overlay) to support DIDs/DPKI (Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure) at scale.
>
> IMPORTANT NOTE: The majority of ION's code is developed under the blockchain-agnostic Sidetree protocol's repo: [https://github.com/decentralized-identity/sidetree](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/sidetree), which this project uses internally with the code required to run the protocol on Bitcoin, as the ION network.
>
> **Key Points:**
> - ION is public and permissionless - the system is decentralized, no company, organization, or group owns/controls the identifiers and DPKI entries in the system, and no one dictates who can participate.
> - ION doesn't introduce new tokens/coins - Bitcoin is the only unit of value relevant in the operation of the on-chain aspects of the ION network.
> - ION is not a sidechain or consensus system - the network nodes do not require any additional consensus mechanism.

### [**`did:peer:`**](https://identity.foundation/peer-did-method-spec/)
###### For Peer 2 Peer, by Daniel Hardman
> Most documentation about decentralized identifiers (DIDs) describes them as identifiers that are rooted in a public source of truth like a blockchain, a database, a distributed filesystem, or similar. This publicness lets arbitrary parties resolve the DIDs to an endpoint and keys. It is an important feature for many use cases.
>
> However, the vast majority of relationships between people, organizations, and things have simpler requirements. When Alice(Corp|Device) and Bob want to interact, there are exactly and only 2 parties in the world who should care: Alice and Bob. Instead of arbitrary parties needing to resolve their DIDs, only Alice and Bob do. Peer DIDs are perfect in these cases. In many ways, peer DIDs are to public, blockchain-based DIDs what Ethereum Plasma or state channels are to on-chain smart contracts— or what Bitcoin's Lightning Network is to on-chain cryptopayments. They move the bulk of interactions off-chain, but offer options to connect back to a chain-based ecosystem as needed. Peer DIDs create the conditions for people, organizations and things to have full control of their end of the digital relationships they sustain.

### [**`did:git:`**](https://github.com/dhuseby/did-git-spec/blob/master/did-git-spec.md)
###### For DID Specification, by Internet Identity Workshop
> The Git revision control tool is designed to function in a decentralized peer-to-peer fashion to facilitate collaboration in the frequently-disconnected world. Git uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of commits that represent the changes to the folders and files in the repository. Because it uses blockchain-like hash-linking of commits, Git is effectively a blockchain and distributed ledger with the patch review and merge process functioning as the consensus mechanism. This makes it a great tool for tracking the provenance of data inside the repository. Git also records the author and other meta data such as digital signatures with each commit linking identity of committers to each commit. Git repos therefore contain all of the information needed to serve as the single source of truth for the provenance of the data it contains and the identities of the contributors that created it.

> ```
> <32 byte hexadecimal string> corresponds to keccak256 and the hash value of Ethereum address connected by random numbers generated in the DID contract.
>
> DID is registered in the contract and controlled by a single Ethereum address, which is set by default to the address where the createDID method was originally called. Then, this address can transfer control to a different address, or update/delete the corresponding DID in the contract.
> The DID ledger is implemented as a simple layer of persistent identity registration on the Ethereum blockchain network. Meanwhile it can be extended to contain other data and functions. Scalability is achieved by using an identity contract as a controller for DID on the ledger. In particular, ERC725 combined with private key management contract, for example, ERC734 is expected to involve additional features with common conditions (such as defines service endpoint, private key rotation, delegation and licensing, etc.). At the meantime, it gives the permit of exploiting other standards, and even allows the owner of DID to transforms contract implementation to another without losing its identifier.

###### For Hyperledger Fabric, by SecureKey
> The did:trustbloc DID method allows groups of independent entities to share custody of a DID registry consisting of a Sidetree implementation over a permissioned ledger. For more information on Sidetree, please refer to the Sidetree protocol specification.
>
> Independent stakeholders wishing to transact with one another using DIDs can come together to form a consortium to manage their shared custody of a ledger.
>
> This spec defines a discovery service. The discovery service provided by the TrustBloc DID Method allows a client to verify that a consortium is endorsed by its constituent stakeholders, verify that the configuration files of each stakeholder (which includes a list of Sidetree endpoints) are signed by the respective stakeholders, and use the provided Sidetree endpoints to perform Sidetree DID operations.

### [**`did:gatc:`**](https://github.com/gatacaid/gataca-did-method)
###### For Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Besu, Alastria, by https://gataca.io/
> Gataca’s platform is based on a mobile identity portfolio, a set of APIs, and controllers for multiple blockchain networks.
>
> Gataca is agnostic to the blockchain network. We adapt our infrastructure to the third party’s preferred ledger. Gataca currently supports the public network Ethereum and private networks based on Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Besu or Quorum. Other networks may be added as requested.
>
> This document provides the DID method specs for how our DID schema is implemented on the Ethereum network.
>
> The simple structure links an object to a DID with states and public keys. Users do not need privileges to read the information on the blockchain but do need them to write. Gataca is the unique user that can modify the smart contract.
### [**`did:factom:`**](https://github.com/factom-protocol/FIS/blob/master/FIS/DID.md)
###### For Factom, by Sphereon, Factomatic, Factom Inc
> This proposal contains the interoperability specifications for products creating, reading (resolving) updating and deactivating Decentralized Identifiers on top of the Factom Protocol. This specification is not about other products wanting to use DIDs for their specific purpose, like signing or voting. This document describes the low level data structures and rules for DIDs, DID documents, resolution and registration on Factom itself.
>
> Decentralized Identifiers are a cross ledger solution to support self sovereign identities. The Factom Protocol is ideally suited to store DIDs. This specification is the first step in creating a single specification for maximum interoperability with regards to identities across products and solutions on top of the Factom Protocol.
### [**`did:signor:`**](https://github.com/cryptonicsconsulting/signor-did-contracts/blob/master/did-method-spec.md)
###### For Ethereum, Hedera Hashgraph, Quorum, Hyperledger Besu, by https://cryptonics.consulting/
> This method shall be identified with the name sginor. A Signor DID has the following format:
> ```
> did:signor:<network>:<20 byte hexadecimal string>
> ```
> ```
> did:signor:mainet:0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8
> ```
> The <20 byte hexadecimal string> corresponds to an Ethereum address in the current implementation, but maybe abstracted to different identfiers when implemented on different networks.
>
> The <network> string corresponds to human readable form of an distributed ledger capable of running Ethereum smart contracts, including the following:
**Ethereum mainet** • **ropsten** • **rinkeby** • **Kovan**
> DIDs are registered in the DID Registry on-chain, and have a controller and a subject, expressed in the form of Ethereum addresses. The DID controller may or may not be the subject itself. Multiple controllers can be implemented through proxy smart contracts.
### [**`did:hedera:`**](https://github.com/hashgraph/did-method/blob/master/did-method-specification.md)
###### For Hedera Hashgraph, by Hedera Hashgraph, Swisscom Blockchain AG
> This document defines a binding of the Decentralized Identifier architecture to Hedera Hashgraph - specifically how to use the Hedera File Service to record membership in 'business application networks' (appnets) and how to use the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) for CRUD mechanisms on DID documents stored in such business application network. An business application network is a network of computers that store some set of business data (such as DID Documents) in a shared state, and rely on the Hedera mainnet for timestamping and ordering the transactions that cause that business application network state to change. An business application network could be exclusively dedicated to managing DID Documents and other identity artifacts in its state, or it could itself be multi-purpose. For instance, a Supply Chain could establish an business application network and, in addition to using HCS for tracking the location of shipments, use the DID method defined here to manage the identities of the associated companies, employees, and IoT devices. The HCS model is designed to off load from the Hedera mainnet node the burden of disk writes and long term storage and so allow those nodes to be optimized for high throughput ordering of transactions.

### [**`did:dock:`**](https://github.com/docknetwork/dock-did-driver/blob/master/Dock%20DID%20method%20specification.md)
###### For Dock, by https://www.dock.io/
> Currently, three public key and signing algorithms are supported for authentication.
> - Schnorr signatures with Sr25519. The public key is 32 bytes and signature is 64 bytes in size. These are supported by Substrate and Polkadot.
> - EdDSA signatures with Ed25519 curve. The public key is 32 bytes and signature is 64 bytes in size.
> - ECDSA signatures with secp256k1 curve. Compressed public keys are used, hence the public key is 33 bytes in size. Signature is 65 bytes in size.
> Dock is currently running as a proof of authority network but will evolve into a proof of stake chain. DIDs can be created by anyone holding Dock tokens but the creator of the DID is not necessarily the owner of the DID and thus cannot manage (update, remove) them. DIDs are managed using their corresponding private keys and these keys are independent of keys controlling the Dock tokens spent while creating the DID.
>
> The chain does not store the full DID document but only the DID, the corresponding keys and controllers and block number for the last update and this block number changes with each update to the DID. This is needed for replay protection. Dock's client SDK retrieves those details and constructs the full DID document.
>
> Currently, Dock supports registering a new DID with only one public key on chain. The key can be rotated by providing a signed message from the current key. The DID can be removed by providing a signed message from the current key. In future, multiple keys for authentication and authorization and other relevant W3C compliant features will be supported.
### [**`did:twit:`**](https://did-twit.github.io/did-twit/)
###### For Twit, by https://github.com/did-twit/did-twit/blob/master/spec/index.md
> Twitter is a highly used and influential social media network that lacks decentralization and higher levels of trust (i.e. signed messages). The `did:twit` specification makes an attempt to increase trust in Twitter interactions.
>
> The method is similar to [did:key](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-key) in the sense that it is uses a `did` to wrap a single public key.
>
> The objective of Twitter DID, similar to that of the [GitHub DID Method](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/github-did), is to encourage use of the [DID Spec](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/), by lowering the barrier to entry for use of the technology, and promote higher trust interactions.
### [**`did:near:`**](https://github.com/ontology-tech/DID-spec-near/blob/master/NEAR/DID-Method-NEAR.md)
###### For NEAR, by Ontology Foundation
> NEAR uses readable account identifiers instead of a hash of a public key, and the accounts have some DID features, but not all. We have developed this specification to define a new DID method for hosting DIDs on the NEAR blockchain, also referred to as NEAR DID, and facilitate developers to work with related contracts.
> ```
> near-did = "did:near:" near-specific-idstring
> near-specific-idstring = *( 1*idchar ".") 2*idchar
> idchar = %x30-39 / %x61-7A / "-" / "_"

### [**`did:vaa:`**](https://github.com/caict-develop-zhangbo/vaa-method/blob/master/README.md)
###### For bif, by China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT)
> Blockchain Identifier Infrastructure (BIF) is a permissioned public blockchain aiming for creating a distributed trust management framework typical for internet ID service, and the BIF blockchain (http://bidspace.cn/) is governed by China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). CAICT is also the official issuing agency with Issuing Agency Code (IAC)——"VAA", given by ISO/IEC 15459. The IAC indicates an authorized qualification of distributing identifiers with own allocation rules.
>
> As the "VAA" means a self-defined rule for internet identifiers, these letters could be literal used as a DID method name conformant with W3C DID specification. The VAA method is created not only to define a random identifier generation rules, but ultimately to create smart contracts, which support different identifiers format.
### [**`did:bba:`**](https://github.com/blobaa/bba-did-method-specification/blob/master/docs/markdown/spec.md)
###### For Ardor, by Attila Aldemir
> The `bba` DID method aims to enable the Ardor blockchain to act as a DPKI within the SSI ecosystem. It runs on the independent IGNIS child chain and utilizes Ardors Account Properties feature to manage DIDs and corresponding DID controllers. The Account Properties feature provides the possibility to tag an account with a small amount of data (160 characters). A DID controller is always represented in form of an Ardor account and is by default separated from the public keys (if present) embedded in a DID document. Think of a master key controlling the DID operations create, update and deactivate. A DID controller always corresponds to exactly one Ardor account, whereas one Ardor account can control multiple DIDs.
>
> DID and DID document handling is decoupled so that multiple DID document storages can be defined and integrated to store DID document templates (DID documents without a DID reference). In its current state, the `bba` DID method defines only one storage type (Ardor Cloud Storage).
>
> In the following, `bba` DID method compliant account properties are called DID attestations. An account property is `bba` DID method compliant if it aligns to the data model described in the DID Attestation Data Fields section and is self-set. A self-set account property is a property in which sender and receiver accounts are identical.
### [**`did:morpheus:`**](https://developer.iop.global/w3c?id=personal-data)
###### For Hydra, by https://iop.global/
> Distributed ledger technologies (DLT, blockchain) are mostly used by cryptocurrencies, but their event ordering and decentralized consensus algorithms are useful for general purpose. Morpheus needs DLT for safe ordering DID updates and querying the historical state of a DID Document at any given point of time for signature validation. The main benefit of DLTs is that many parties with opposing interests run the infrastructure, therefore it is almost impossible to unilaterally control changes to the history and state of the ledger.
>
> Morpheus currently uses the Hydra blockchain, a dPoS ledger built as an Ark bridgechain and customized with DID-related transactions. Morpheus has a ledger-agnostic design, thus could operate with other ledgers as well.

###### For Multiple storage networks, currently public IPFS and evan.network IPFS, by 51nodes GmbH
> The Schema Registry DID Method aims to provide unique and universal identification for schemas in multiple formats hosted on multiple storage mechanisms or networks.

### [**`did:key:`**](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-key/)
###### For Ledger independent DID method based on public/private key pairs, by Rick Astley (thank you for your inspiration), Manu Sporny, Dmitri Zagidulin, Dave Longley, Orie Steele
> While DLT-based DID Methods have great decentralization characteristics, and some of the more centralized DID Methods provide strong system control guarantees, the general approaches tend to be expensive to setup and operate. Some use cases requiring DIDs do not need the guarantees provided by these heavy-weight systems. For example, a DID that will only be used for a single, ephemeral interaction might not need to be registered, updated, or deactivated. It is for this class of use cases that the did:key method exists.
> The format for the did:key method conforms to the [DID-CORE] specification and is simple. It consists of the did:key prefix, followed by a Multibase [MULTIBASE] base58-btc encoded value that is a concatenation of the Multicodec [MULTICODEC] identifier for the public key type and the raw bytes associated with the public key format.
### [**`did:tyron:`**](https://www.tyronzil.com/)
###### For Zilliqa, by Julio Cabrapan Duarte
> Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) allows people to manage their digital identities, proving who they are without a middleman, by anchoring DIDs on blockchain platforms as a shared root of trust. However, most blockchains still can't provide decentralized identity at scale. By implementing the Tyron SSI Protocol, tyronZIL aims to solve this issue and enable user-controlled digital identities.
>
> The word Tyron derives from the Greek turannos that means sovereign, and Tyron's purpose is to give people sovereignty over their data.
### [**`did:corda:`**](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/persistentsystems/corda-did-method/blob/master/corda_did_method.html)
###### For Corda, by Nitesh Solanki,Moritz Platt,Pranav Kirtani
> To understand the environment in which the Corda DID method operates, the permissioned nature of a Corda network and the point-to-point approach to data replication must be taken into account. While parties in permissionless blockchains remain anonymous and can join and leave at will, any Corda network utilizes a standard PKIX infrastructure for linking public keys to identities [corda-whitepaper]. As such, individually deployed entities in the network – nodes – have a strong notion of identity. This concept is instrumental in network communication. Similarly, the data-replication model implemented in Corda is different to that of a conventional public blockchain, which makes all in-ledger data visible to all network participants. In Corda, data are distributed to a configurable subset of network members only.
> The Corda DID method operates in an environment where multiple nodes form a consortium in order to replicate decentralized identity data (cf. figure 1). These consortium nodes replicate decentralized identifier documents to form a network-wide and, ultimately, consistent view of the unity of decentralized identifiers, using the Corda DID method.
### [**`did:uns:`**](https://github.com/unik-name/did-method-spec/blob/main/did-uns/UNS-DID-Specification.md)
###### For https://docs.uns.network/, by https://www.spacelephant.org/
> The uns DID method provides support for DIDs on the uns.network blockchain. More specifically, it associates a DID to every address in the ledger. This method is very minimalistic in the sense that it produces DID Document (DDoc) with minimal information: a DID and its associated public key. Furthermore, once a uns-did is created, it cannot be updated.
>
> The goal of this method is to work in tandem with other, more complex DID methods based on the same blockchain. Uns.network is dedicated to the management of Non Fungible Tokens (NFT). The first type of NFT that it supports is [@uniknames](https://docs.unikname.com/), human-readable identifiers. Just like any other tokens, @uniknames can be bought or exchanged, but they can also be linked to public properties the owner wishes to advertise, or used to connect to compliant websites in a private and secure fashion, among other things. The `unik` DID method associates a DID to these NFT tokens, using uns-did as controllers.
>
> Identifiers are only the first use case for uns.network NFTs. Other use cases are likely to require their own DID method based on uns DIDs.
