Since then, the IIW has supported the development of the identity software ecosystem, including OpenID (2005), OpenID 2.0 (2006), OpenID Connect (2014), OAuth (2010), and FIDO (2013). The heart of the identity developing community seems to have been with empowering users and self sovereign principles. However, the power was still in the hands of large centralized institutions.

It seems that Bitcoin appealed to the identity community for its decentralized, permenant, record-keeping as well as its community. The blockchain community, on the other hand, appreciates identity as a use-case ideally suited to a decentralized approach. Bitcoin's decentralized authenticated record-keeping appealed to the IIW community, and brought a surge of life to decentralization efforts.
