We’re LIVE on the DID Universal Registrar! 🔥 Now it's much easier for app developers to create DIDs on cheqd.
What does the Universal Registrar do? 🤔
It creates/updates/deactivates Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) across many different DID methods, based on the W3C DID Core 1.0 and DID Registration specifications.
What did it take to create cheqd DIDs before getting into the Universal Registrar?
To create DIDs (or DID-Linked Resources) you needed to use our Veramo SDK or the cheqd Cosmos Command Line Interface. This is great for companies that want to integrate cheqd into their products, but not ideal for a quick DID creation. It’s also less accessible as it require more technical expertise. 🤓
And now…
The DID Universal Registrar abstracts a lot of the complexity from creating DIDs and enables anyone to fill out some basic content for a DID Document and create a DID using an API request (directly in a web browser). For anyone who wants to spin up a DID or a DID-Linked resource, this makes the process easy and relatively non-technical. 😎
Image this as…
Our SDK being a flatpack IKEA product for DIDs. It’s pretty simple to put together, but you have to have instructions and the right tools (and a bit of patience 😅). The Universal Registrar is like getting them straight off the shelf, or delivered built, straight to your home.
