Examples of DID Solutions
Decentralized Identity (DID) solutions align themselves with well-established open standard, W3C, placing strong emphasis on interoperability and compatibility across different platforms. The pursuit of privacy and security stands as a top priority, with private networks offering enhanced data protection, albeit potentially introducing concerns related to centralized governance.
It is also worth mentioning that for users, what often matters most is the user experience (UI) and user interface (UX), as the intuitiveness and accessibility of these solutions frequently overshadow the intricate technical details. Below are the real-world examples of DID solutions. Here we define DID solutions as the decentralized IDs that operate on blockchain networks, whether they are public or private.
Note that the protocols listed below are selected by their presence in the decentralized identity space based on our own research. Other information is gathered from their websites and docs available online.
