The Universal DID-Native Addressing (UDNA) Community Group has been launched: https://www.w3.org/community/did-native-addr/ -------------------------------------------------- The mission of this group is to explore, develop, and promote Universal DID-Native Addressing (UDNA)—a framework that treats decentralized identifiers (DIDs) as first-class network primitives. UDNA enables identity-native communication, privacy-preserving routing, and secure self-sovereign interactions across decentralized systems. Through UDNA, this group aims to unlock secure, decentralized, and privacy-preserving communications at scale, laying the foundation for the next generation of Internet-native identities. Scope: - Defining UDNA specifications for DID-based network addressing. - Developing protocols for secure, verifiable, and rotatable identity resolution. - Exploring integration with existing Internet protocols and decentralized networks. - Enabling zero-trust and capability-based access control models. - Investigating privacy-preserving communication and anti-abuse mechanisms. - Providing reference implementations and interoperability guidance. Expected Outcomes: - A set of specifications and guidelines for UDNA adoption. Reference architectures and implementation examples. - Recommendations for integrating identity-native addressing into decentralized applications and protocols. - A community of researchers, developers, and organizations collaborating on identity-native networking technologies. -------------------------------------------------- To join: https://www.w3.org/community/did-native-addr/join If you do not have one already, you will need a W3C account to join: https://www.w3.org/account/request/ This is a community initiative. W3C's hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities. The group must now choose a chair: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-choose-a-chair For more information about getting started in the new group, see: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-get-started-in-a-new-group and good practice for running a group: https://www.w3.org/community/about/good-practice-for-running-a-group/ We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels. If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at team-community-process@w3.org Thank you, W3C Community Development Team
