I grew up with tech, but only got serious about it in early 2017. That's when I started learning about Bitcoin, Blockchain, and everything related. In the following year after having gone down the rabbit-hole, I turned my attention to Self Sovereign Identity.
Inspired by @peacekeeper's blockchain-identity list on GitHub, I began working on my own curated list of resources related to decentralized identity.
I saw that decentralized identity has a deep historical context, and saw its potential for being the blockchain use-case, beyond currency.
From the amount of information spread across the web, but not really indexed well, I knew this community had a need for organization of it's information, and that I could find my way into some profitable ventures doing so.
Get Involved
In 2018, I connected with Kaliya @identitywoman who has ever been working on similar efforts, to map out the organizations and protocols surrounding decentralized-identity.
She became something of a mentor to me, in this field, and editorial advisor for this site.
Juan @by_caballero has gotten his hands dirty working on this site and related projects, sometimes assisting in curation.
A few others have become friends to this effort, even if they haven't physically contributed to the site. Among them Kyle Den Hartog supported some of my early work curating peer-to-peer histories, which may eventually be adapted for this site.
The landscape is moving quickly, and so I'm just filling out and discovering a map of the territory, as able.
The idea has always been for this to be a collaborative effort, and you are very welcome to participate in the creation of this resource.
