And from ConsenSys: ConsenSys are pleased that the W3C has endorsed the DID 1.0 specification as a W3C Recommendation. This is an important step toward empowering individuals to control their own identity and how it is used. The DID framework enables an interoperable approach to identity that can be based on different platforms, providing cross-network interoperability. We value this approach, and the ability of W3C to produce such standards to underpin the highly hetergeneous web of today, and of the future. At ConsenSys we have been working half a decade with this approach in the Ethereum technology stack. This can provide an ideal basis for the implementation of secure and scalable DID methods, that frees the world from relying only on very large scale providers to manage people's identity. We look forward to this work, along with Verifiable Credentials and other connected standards, forming an underpinning for the new future we are building where decentralised identity management and reputation systems give people more control of their online identity. -- Charles "chaals" Nevile ConsenSys Lead Standards Architect
