Our thesis is that blockchains, or more generically distributed ledgers, are a potentially powerful new tool for “identity roots” — the starting points for an Internet identity.

In this case DIDs — Decentralized Identifiers rooted on a distributed ledger — may end up being a foundational building block for higher level identity management solutions. - * At this point in time DLT innovation, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the EU GDPR all came together supporting a core identirati tenant: Eliminating id data silos and empowering users regarding digital identity. -![](https://i.imgur.com/XtZQg0j.png) +![](https://i.imgur.com/XtZQg0j.png)\ [The Story of Open SSI Standards - Drummond Reed/Evernym](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RllH91rcFdE) ### Decentralized Identity Foundation[**^**](#Contents)
