Universal DID-Native Addressing (UDNA) Community Group

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.
