What are decentralized identifiers?

We’re hearing this term more often with regards to Dorsey’s Web5 projects and initiatives within Block (formerly Square), but the idea of decentralized identifiers extends beyond Block’s current projects and road map and widely into Web3. The plan for Zion makes more sense when understood within the context of the W3C-influenced framework and model for the future of the decentralized web.

The W3C was founded in 1994 and operates as the main international standard organization for the web as we know it today.

As defined by WC3, "decentralized Identifiers are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity."

Truly decentralized identification is something that both Web3 and Web5 initiatives aim to achieve, with many Ethereum blockchain-based projects looking to solve different parts of the issue.

Web5 and DID take this a step further by laying down the foundations of the core architecture, data model and the goals for operating within a sufficiently decentralized web. The key difference between Ethereum’s decentralized identity products and Web5 is planning and design. The Web5 components were built and vetted before products were built on top of them.

DIDs have been recognized as a new type of web-based identifier by the W3C, and the open standard is now recommended by the consortium after extensive technical review. That Block has W3C’s support for building Web5 and TbDEX may accelerate adoption of a decentralized web built on Bitcoin.

What are Aztec prints?

Referring to Coco Chanel as a fashion designer would be an understatement. The revolutionary creator, crafted a whole new meaning for clothes. She liberalized fashion from the constraints of corsets and allowed women to be comfortable and to love what they wore. The Aztec (tribal) print is the only print that remained untouched by the legend. Read also| What is an Aztec label ? However, she does have something to say about it.. And, anyone who questions the raging popularity of Aztec or tribal prints in the fashion industry needs to rename themselves as ‘fashion fools’. Because, this is what Coco Chanel has to say on Aztec prints or any other prints tbh- “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” And this is exactly how the Aztecs embodied the idea and inculcated that in their clothing. And, we at Whats Down did not shy away from using this classic...

What are decentralized web nodes?

Zion uses decentralized web nodes (DWNs) for data storage and messaging. It allows participants to securely manage and transact their data with others without relying on a provider or location-specific infrastructure or routing. Read more | https://barcodetypes.blogspot.com/2022/11/what-are-application-identifiers.html Decentralized web nodes remain as a draft specification under development within the Decentralized Identity Foundation, and aren't yet recommended for usage by W3C. Is Zion similar to Bluesky? Zion’s mission is indeed similar to Bluesky, an initiative started in 2019 by Dorsey to develop a decentralized social network. Because Bluesky was created as a nonprofit owned by the team developing it, it remains unaffected by Musk’s recent acquisition of Twitter. In October 2022, Bluesky announced it is building AT Protocol, a new foundation that also incorporates the usage of DIDs as stable IDs. Bluesky has the same goal as Zion for portable accounts, privacy and decentral...
