TPAC 2024 (Calendar)

Standardizing Decentralized Identifier (DID) Methods is important to progress W3C's foundational work on global identifiers that are not leased, but owned by individuals. This session will discuss a proposed W3C charter for web-based DID methods. We will also cover key categories of DID methods that have proven broadly useful, including self-resolvable, web-based, and decentralized methods. The goal is to standardize a few methods that are in production within these categories, ensuring they meet the needs of diverse use cases. To achieve this, the group will establish strong collaboration and liaison agreements among key organizations outside of W3C, minimizing barriers to participation and fostering a cooperative environment. Additionally, the effort will engage the broader community of DID builders, innovators, and adopters, inviting them to contribute to a detailed roadmap that guides the future of DID standardization.
