DID Working Group (legacy homepage)

The mission of the Decentralized Identifier Working Group is two-fold. First, it will maintain the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) specification and related Working Group Notes. Second, it will seek consensus around the best way to achieve effective interoperability through common requirements, algorithms, architectural options, and various considerations for the DID resolution and DID URL dereferencing processes.

The co-chairs of the group are Daniel Burnett (Invited Expert) and Gabe Cohen (Block, Inc). The staff contacts is Pierre-Antoine Champin. The group is chartered until April 2026.
