Though the decentralized identity technology is fairly new, initiatives and players in the decentralized identity space, software for implementing decentralized identity wallets and supporting services are plentiful. They range from the Hyperledger open-source developing community, through a range of decentralized identity protocols and startups, to some of the biggest names in the industry.
Decentralized identity protocols and private identity stores such as uPort or 3Box are called identity hubs. Recently, the Ethereum-based uPort platform split into two new projects: Veramo, an open source framework for identifiers and credentials, and Serto – both of which carry on the mission of decentralizing the internet. 3Box Labs, in turn, went headlong into the development of Ceramic Network, a decentralized data network that brings unlimited data composability to Web3 apps, and Identity Index (IDX), a cross-chain protocol for decentralized identity and interoperable data.
Other DID platforms are ION, an open public layer-2 decentralized identity network that runs atop the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain based on the purely deterministic Sidetree protocol. The notable Polkadot (DOT) ecosystem player Dock protocol enables everyone to issue and build solutions for decentralized identity and verifiable credentials that are instantly verifiable using blockchain. The Sovrin Network is an open-source, decentralized, public identity network metasystem to create, manage and control self-sovereign digital identity. ORE ID is the universal authentication and authorization.
